He'll guide me through

 Busy with assignments; look at my messy study table!

It's been hours, but I'm still working on this resource kit...

& when I was just about to give up, I found this...

& THIS!

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful

Title: He'll guide me through

Allahumma soyyiban nafi'an. It's dark outside. It's cold. & it's so windy. The weather does look a little scary, but it still isn't scary enough to freak me out. It's been a lazy day, and there is really nothing that I want to do, except to have a cup of hot chocolate, read a book by the balcony, and then go to sleep. Hah unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of time for that. I've got a list of things to be done. There's so many things that's going around in my mind right now. School assignments are officially going crazy. It's always one assignment after another. With so many deadlines to meet, I sometimes get the dates mixed up that I hardly keep track of the dates anymore.

My study table is in a complete mess! My activity resource kit is only about 75% done. The report writing alone, is going to take me another few hours to finish and if I were to work on my activity resource kit right after that, it'll be midnight by then. This is so exhausting. So I thought, perhaps I should stop working on the report, leave everything for tomorrow, and just go to bed. While I was clearing my desk, I found something. It was the artwork of one of my students, from Kids aLIVE. It was the kindness week the week before, so for the tune-in activity, I got the students to draw something that represents kindness. There was this particular boy, who did something different. And cuteeeee.

Happy Kindness Day!

The orang miskin part; I just had to l-o-l at that. That was sooo cute of him! Children. Haha, they bring more liveliness into our lives, with that sweet little innocence of theirs. The past few months of teaching them, had been really tiring and exhausting for me. It was daunting in the beginning, but I told myself to keep on going. To be honest, I dread having to wake up so early in the morning during the weekends, to teach. But when I came to class last week, the look of enthusiasm and determination in the children's eyes, reminded me about why I want to be doing, what I am doing. With that in mind, I felt motivated once again. Although I am pretty much stressed out with school assignments etc, I came to realise that sometimes, all that we ever need to hold on to in times of hardship like these, would be through patience because I believe that if He puts you to it, He will pull you through it.

InsyaAllah. [=
