dreams and things i worry about

Yesterday, I was told what my class would be this coming school year. I was surprised that I was designated to be the Level 3 (equivalent with grade 2 or 3) Teacher for Life Skills with integration to Science and Social Studies (whew! Thank God it isn't Math!). My friend, the assistant principal, told me that it is going to be very difficult since it is "something new". I was not so delighted about it because I'm "used to" teaching pre-school kids. The next day (which was earlier today), I was talking through text with another teacher friend and mentioned to her about all these things I will have to go through this coming school year. She told me that what I'm about to go through is indeed challenging and is "something new". She also added that it is fun to make activities for the said subject. As I was mulling over her text message, I then realized that I was so dismal about it because I was looking at the shady side of the matter.. and this was in fact, an answer to my prayer for something "different" as I was already getting bored with my work. To be honest, I was really frightened at the thought of handling bigger kids because they're much stronger than me (especially the boys), and because of that, I find it hard to do behavior modification techniques (BMTs) to them. I was amazed though, at how God gave His answer to my prayer. It was with a twist and it came unexpectedly, just like the answers to my other prayers. I was actually praying to work on a cruise ship or to live and work in Baguio – for a change, but I guess, I won't get the answer to that now. Later in the evening though, I was talking to my discipler about my answered prayers because I have waited and I have prayed. I told her how happy and grateful – and scared – I am, all at the same time because I think I'd be going through another difficult time after all these happy moments. I was reminded by her then that despite the fact that I'd be going through a lot of trials in the future (and that's for sure), I shouldn't be frightened because God is with me. That made me become conscious of the fact that the enemy has been cunning in trying to feed my mind with deceiving thoughts about a lot of things, and because of that, I become worried with petty things. The Bible says that worrying is a sin (John 14:1, Philippians 4:6-9, Matthew 6:25) because it causes unbelief, and unbelief disappoints God because we make our problems bigger than Him, which is not true because it is really the other way around. God is bigger than anything we will have to go through. All we need is to trust in Him because He will surely sustain us as we go through difficult times in our lives. :)
