Last Sunday during Sunday School, our class teacher, Miss Georgette brought some cleaning tools and our task was to clean up our classroom. After all, we're in God's house. So we drew lots and some got to sweep, vacuum and pick-up/tidy stuff while I did the dusting...Anyway, after we were done, she brought out some towels and a basin filled with water and bubble bath...weird isn't it? She told us to read the Scriptures about Jesus washing his disciples' feet and guess what was our next acitvity???
We were to clean each others feet, just like our Lord Jesus Christ had done. And when she said clean each others feet, she really meant it (not just dipping our feet in the basin as a symbol). Our teacher started first by cleaning David's feet (as shown in the picture)...She scrubbed his feet thoroughly, in between the toes, the heels, and finally, wiping his feet dry. Then, we went around cleaning each others feet....humbleness? servanthood? I really don't know how I can possibly describe the feeling to you. All of us did it willingly, no questions asked and no complaining!
It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and indeed, it was the greatest lesson in my entire life! Learning to be as humble as Jesus. I was so touched when one of them cleaned my feet. Really, you have gotta experience it to know how it feels like! It was as if Jesus was cleaning mine. When it was my turn to clean another person's feet, all I can say is that I felt so honored and oh, I just can't think of the right words to describe it!
What an unforgettable and humbling experience!
P/S: Humble pie has nothing to do with this...lol. Just the word 'Humble'!
For the first time in history, we had to evacuate the college because of the flash flood warnings! Even though it's summer time, it rained non-stop since midnight yesterday. So the highways are all flooded and there's mudslides and rocks crumbling down from the mountains...it's really bad this time...Even the universities and the colleges nearby shut down!
Thank God I got a ride from a friend to send me home because the buses were out of service too! Or else, I would have been stranded in college. According to my friend's aunt who works at the college, this is the first time ever that the college closed because of a flood. Usually they would only close the college if it's snowing heavily and during holidays, of course...
Anyway, they told us that the college might be closed tomorrow as well, depending on the weather...sigh..it's kinda like mixed blessings because for us students, we might not have class (and final exams!) but I really sympathize with those who had to evacuate their homes and some who had accidents on the road while driving through the flood water. On the news, the firemen were canoeing boats on the highway to help those who are stuck in their vehicles in the middle of nowhere! I just hope that there is no fatality caused by this disastrous weather.
The El Paso City is also working to declare the 'state of emergency' as shelters are opening for those who were forced to evacuate their homes.. Right now, I'm so grateful because we're not affected because my aunt's house is sort of uphill. I just thank God that I came back home safely...I'll continue praying for those victims who are affected by this flood...Hope everything will be alrite! No matter what, I know that God always sends a rainbow after the rain!
