It was my first time to volunteer at CCF for their Vacation Bible School activity for the kids. I have been waiting for this opportunity for the last three years or so, I think. I signed up to be a volunteer of course, and I signed up to be a head teacher, and a dance prompter.
Upon signing up, I didn't know that being a head teacher would mean a lot of responsibility. I really didn't take signing up for the head teacher position seriously for I was just thinking that the position sounded out good. Everything had changed when Miss Lucy called me up at home and interviewed me. She asked me about certain questions that really stoked me and woke me. She made me realize that being a head teacher isn't a joke for the things that I will teach and say to the kids would really have a great impact on them. She asked me the reason for applying for the position. She asked me about my faith, my testimonies with the Lord. It was kind of hard for me to answer those not because my faith is weak. It is because I am not used with talking about these matters with others apart from my relatives in my mother side. For the record, I do not have a D-Group which I could share these thoughts with during devo or something, but nevertheless I answered with Lucy with all my best. She asked me a one last question, and that is if I am sure I can handle the position since I had not been attending to any D-Group and its my first time to volunteer. I don't know but i said an undoubted Yes to her. I know that this is so unusual of me but I just thought that I am doing those for the Lord and I know that He will help me all the way. After the interview, luckily I was initially assigned to be a head teacher for a pre-school class. - Grateful
I was happy because I passed one of the hardest interviews of my life, but then again there were pre-occupying thoughts and questions in me. There were times that I am doubtful of my capability, and during those times I sought comfort to my sister. I had asked her a lot of times if she thinks I can do the responsibilities given to me, and that is to be a teacher and dance prompter at the same time, and her answer was always a steady "Oo naman ate, kaya mo yan!". Apart from her, I was encouraged because I know I am doing this for Him. I thought I could make Him happy by doing this. I thought that I should not fear because I know He's with me in this, all the way.
More thoughts to be continued on the succeeding posts...
