Watch out. Challenge can be found everywhere. The same also applies with temptations. Especially as a teacher, I found that challenge is a thing which I have to keep alert anytime. Start from how to design a class which can maximize the students' learning experience, how to handle the class when they need extra, yes literally extra attention and so on. Anytime I reflect on this, I come to realize that I am in constant need of the Lord's guidance, strength and wisdom.
Facing and encountering other humans sometimes can be so smooth and easy but at other times can make our head spinning. But that is our reality and let us face it in such open hands because we never know what this beautiful life brings when we patiently endure and keep our mind to the Giver of Life instead of being continually affected by little incidents. which we could have let it go.
It is somehow easy for me to focus on measuring on how "heavy" it is and alas that is the first sign of self-pity. But wait a minute. Doesn't that affect you emotionaly. Yes, it does. Because that is part of our nature and emotion works for that. However it is what's next is what matters more. Will it lead us to anxiety or excessive frustation. There is one keyword here: modesty, that is to keep trying with hope and not loosing heart. Prayer and constant remembrance of the Lord will calm our being and keep us from harmful reactions that may appear.
Challenge will always be there. It is good for us to grow. It enriches us with new strength and moment of faith. Let us be glad and joyful with wathever the Good Lord has allowed to happen in our life. Glory to God.
