You feel trapped? Want freedom?
A prisoner is someone who is legally held in prison as a punishment for crimes they have committed, A person captured and kept confined by an enemy or It can be a person who is or feels confused or trapped by a situation or a set of circumstances. People who are not saved, not Christian or a believer , and even us, The Children of God can be trapped by sins, death, burden, emotional and spiritual problems, physical ailments, attack from the enemy, depression, anxiety and everything that we have no control and power over something or someone.
We all want freedom. There are people that sacrifice many things to have what we call “Freedom”, to have a good life and feel at peace but the most important freedom that we should have know and trust is the “Freedom through Jesus”, because of him, We can have freedom from the other problems in our life. Jesus said “ I am the way…no one comes to God but through me” (John 14-16). If we ask Jesus for forgiveness, He will forgive us. We should ask Jesus to come to our life, into our heart, to be our lord and savior and tell him that We believe in him. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life We can have only access to God through him. And if we abide and remain faithful in his words, We will know the truth and the truth will set us free (John 8:31-32).
When Jesus died on the cross for our sins, It was to make us whole, A part of a divine plan to save us, to heal and restored our relationship with God. When we come to Jesus, We are given the Holy Spirit to live in us, to make God present in us, to set God's power at work in us and gives us the Freedom. The gift of Freedom, We have it within in our hands, the power of the Holy Spirit that put in us and gave us to tell, offer and be witness about God’s words and Power, How much God’s loves and want us to his children. Did you want to break the barrier that’s keeping you as a prisoner in your situation right now? Want freedom? You just need to ask him for it and He will give it to you because with him, We are set free. When we call him, We repent, we change the way we think and ask God’s help then Jesus will set us free from burden, sins and death.
Young learners in the New Environment.
Young learners experience difficulties especially when they are in the new settings because they need to adjust and adapt to their surroundings. When It’s the beginning of school, They may have social and learning struggles some of them have some experience of a pre-school or nursery setting, may cry and have separation anxiety to their parents. And most of the time, the behavior they showed in the class are influenced by their parenting practices of their parents, peers, past experiences, learning style or difficulties, social skills and other family issues such as illness, divorce or having a dysfunctional family and homelessness.

It is truly a challenge to every early childhood teacher to know and be aware about the student’s need, appropriate response and curriculum that will ensure positive experience of every students.

Your Life is yours.
Life is tough, Life is unfair, Life is hard and difficult, Life feels like a test you didn't study for. Including me know and experiencing it. Everyone, me and you, all of us want to have a good life, to be happy , We all wish to live a life what we've want to, We wish for a successful future, to have a great job, a perfect family. We wish for our true happiness, being yourself in this society but then reality is here to ruin your life. Nothing new, hardship and failures are there. As we get older, we realized that life doesn't work how we wish for it was or how it should be. You will come to your senses asking yourself “Why is this happening to me out of all people in this world? Why me?”, "Do I deserved this kind of pain?" Then some of us realized that "life is just a matter of choices with consequences including breathing".
Along the journey it gets harder, were drowning on our sea of thoughts and struggles, we can't find our way out, we felt suffocated and then you will find out that you're already tired, tired of fighting and tired of everything, hoping someday you can freely and be honest to say to everyone that " I can say I'm okay but I'm done lying, I’m tired already and I've had enough" When we were young back then, Life is easy for us right? Sleeping at noon or early in the evening and doing school homeworks are some of our little problems way back then and also getting scars and wounds from playing outside our house but now, there are scars and wounds that are deeper, painful and hurtful than anything that bleeds. As a youth like you, I realized that life works not based on what we have wanted. Even you want some things, there are things that are not meant to be for us, but it may for others. Life is like that deal with it. Sounds like its easy but it’s hard. We encountered different problems. In studying, financial problem, heartbreak, losing someone you love, struggles and exhaustion.
Now we are on this stage, on this generation where there are so many judgmental people, some of them telling you that you should act this way because for them this is the "right thing to do" and also there are some people who will try to manipulate and control you and stop you for being yourself. Life is indeed unfair, right? But you can't change that fact that life is still fair because it's unfair to everyone. Maybe life isn't about chasing what you've want to, avoiding the bruises or heartaches and staying at your comfort zone. We only live once; we need to make it worth it. And it's true that "Life is ironic it takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence and through darkness, comes life, through fear comes love, through pain, comes triumph".
There are many things, failure and challenges that we will encounter in the near future, as we walk through the road, we should be the one who will decide and have control to that and we're the one who will set our goals in our own life. Maybe there are some circumstances that it seems it's stops you from reaching it. Its okay friend, Maybe you will not going to make it today, sooner or later but I know you will someday. God has plan for all of us, let's be patient. Along your journey you will meet some people, someone will stay, and someone will leave. You will know who's fake and who's real but all of them are lesson to take and a memories to gain. Don't be ruled by you insecurities, sadness, and fear. Refuse to play victim. Refuse to quit. Be a survivor, be a warrior, and be you. Let's live longer. Don't just live, live happily. That's all for today, thank you for listening to me.
Querencia
If I will compare you to my life before you arrived.
You're my first sip on my cup of coffee in every sunrise.
A bed and pillow that comforts me on my tired night.
A fine wine that sate my thirst during all those lonely times and;
My pills whenever insecurities and the anxiety attacks.
And last, if you're gonna ask me the reason why I love you, please answer it on your own, with your name.
