There is a sense of timelessness and wonder everytime I read this passage in
1 Corinthians 13.
This verse constantly reminds me of the innate self-knowledge and value that God is waiting for us to explore and manifest in our lives.
This year, I became known as Ms. Chang.
I came to know and appreciate sides of me that were unknown to me before.
-Sides of compassion, love and truth brought out by challenging circumstances.
-Experiencing the deep joy of bringing knowledge, building skills sets and showing my students different ways to view the world.
-The rewarding aspect of seeing my students' growth, success and happiness.
-The gift of building community inside and outside the classroom.
-And so much more...
And although at times I felt discouraged at the murk of the routine and challenges, this year has been ultimately empowering and healing. The positive outweighs the negative.
