I am a reading and spelling teacher, I handle special kids with Learning Disabilities. One part of our program is called Oral Language Development (OLD). It aims to develop kids’ ability to express their feelings and views in complete and organized manner because most of them have disarray thoughts. Having this job for more than a year, I could say that I am really getting used to it, that sometimes I am doing it with my friends already, during lunch outs, dinner get-togethers or during even a chit-chat over the phone. It’s a funny feeling when I realize after doing that, that I actually treated my friends as my students. Well, it’s the teacher in me working!
Anyways, let’s go back to the OLD part. If there is one question I would like to ask myself right now, honestly, it would be this: Am I satisfied with my life? (pretty hard huh!). And to tell you the truth, I am not sure what to answer yet.
Admit it. We, human beings naturally don’t feel satisfied easily, especially with life in general. Everyday, we ask more and more things. Our hunger for contentment and happiness is infinite. That sometimes, we don’t know when to stop asking. Sad but true…
I wake up in the morning and ask myself, why my life isn’t changing the way I planned and wanted it? I know I am working hard, but it’s just the fruit of my labor as they call it, that is not in front of me. Why can’t I have it tangibly, now or sooner? Yah, you may ask why am I so raring to go for it. I don’t know, maybe I compete with time, with age. I want to achieve so many things with my life, with so little time and if I will be stacked to this kind of living for quite a long while, things that I want to do would be narrowed down. And at the end, I know I would still feel unsatisfied.
God has plans for me. I am sure of that and whatever they are, I believe that they will really make me truly happy, that those plans will serve my purpose here. I am trying to lift everything to Him and trust Him with my life, with everything I do. I still fail, many times, but I know I am learning. It’s a good start. J
So, did I nail the OLD question, well obviously not, but I am hopeful that soon, very soon, God will make me realize how to best answer that it.
