A rainy morning and small miracle
One morning, it was raining and it was not like the heavy rain two days ago that caused floods and traffic jams on the way to school. This time, it was a gentle rain. But strangely enough, it was this soft rain that made me late, not the thunderstorm or flood I managed to survive earlier. Life really is unpredictable. Another reason I was late was because my online driver went to the wrong address. I waited far too long before realizing the mistake. I felt desperate. I simply surrendered to my Lord and prayed that I could still make it to school before the bell for the first lesson rang. At our school, teachers are expected to arrive earlier than students—about 20 minutes before 7:30. I was late. I felt deeply uncomfortable. And to add to it all, I got my first period of the month that morning. I could already sense the mood swings kicking in.
