Open Door, Please

There is a sports event scheduled for this Lord's Day ("Sun Day") morning. I have told them I do not like the timing, but they have insisted on having it at this time. I plan, therefore, God willing, to leave, go to church, and come back.

I also covet prayers, as they can be offered, and God's coverage as I ask God for an "open door, which no man can shut." They are planning to have the staff and Kindergarten students dance to a certain song, which I do not plan to dance to. The song is a Korean Pop-rock song, which I do not feel comfortable with at all. I do not like the fact that we are teaching kindergarten students to dance to this kind of music.

I will, however, more than gladly sing and dance to "Jehoshaphat" with my students. I just need to be asked. This is one of my favorite songs, and students in the past have loved it - and who am I to blame them? Only God can turn the heart of Mr. Lee, the school president, and Diane, my supervisor, to do this. But turn their heart is exactly what I pray he would do. After all:

The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water; he turneth it withersoever he will. Proverbs 23:1 - right?

I also really need to rest up tonight and tomorrow (it is "Freya" or "Fri Day" night), in order to get over this stubborn and nasty cough. Bye for now.

Daniel

P.S. After the fact: I never did do that song with more than just my own students in the classroom (and even that stopped (at least for the most part), when my Supervisor said she did not even want me to do that). My students did, however, enjoy the song while it lasted (and even sang is spontaneously after I stopped singing, as ordered by my Supervisor).  I trust I will one day sing this song with those same students, but I will leave the "when" and "how" with God.
