I don't have to work tomorrow!!! yey~that means I don't need to get up that early. I think I am adjusting well to my summer working schedule but I usually feel really sleepy after dinner time. I had a very relaxing day this morning because the students had an exam and there was a fire drill. Then they watched a video, "The Killing Field", for the rest of the class time.

This afternoon, my boss asked me to go to her office and she told me she got the offer for the assistant principal position at one of the elementary schools in Chino Hills. I am really happy for her but it seems like everybody is sad because she is leaving. I guess my reaction didn't show any sadness. Why should I be sad?? I just don't' understand that why people make it something so sad when it is something good for her. For me, I feel happy for her because she got promoted to the next level of her career goal. I will definitely miss her.

I really enjoyed the presence of God through the worship and message from SOP WNW last night. The speaker spoke about spiritual warfare and how sins hinder us from serving Him. "Forgiveness" is the word that really hit me. Be honest, I am NOT a forgiving person and it takes a long time for me to forgive others.

Imagine there was a white board in front of you and it listed out every single sin you'd committed in your lifetime...But the precious blood of Jesus poured over the board and covered all of your sins. It's just so amazing that God forgives me and covers me with His mercy and grace. I prayed to God that "Sydney keeps no record of wrongs."

Many times I would feel I am not capable of serving God. I love and have the desire to serve Him but so many times I found myself holding back. I prayed to God for His strength and courage and I ask Him to open my eyes so I can see the needs of people. All things are possible in the Lord!! It's all about Him~
