Freda: A Lady of GOD!

Once I met a lady by the name of Freda. She is gentle in appearance with long hair, pointed nose, tantalizing eyes and very composed and relaxed posture. I would say that she is an epitome of a lady who is prim and proper in her words and deeds.

I was hoping and praying that the next Principal I would work with is someone who would be supportive and understanding enough which I always look for. As days passed by, I was thinking and feeling like a psychic who is guessing expecting that things would be better every day working with her.

First week, second week, third week and a month cruises by, I am slowly getting to know what kind of a school leader and person Ms. Freda was.  With her soft and gentle voice that reverberates in my ears, I can’t help but listen to her and give her my pure and genuine attention.

Time flies very fast and I have not noticed that we were getting to know each other in a level that is pure and unforgettable. She has always been very professional, pleasant, mature, generous, and most of all understanding especially in situations that the only thing you hope for is that you would be well understood. She has surpassed my expectations and prayer for a Principal that I would like to work with.

As I get to know her better, she has continued to show her authentic self that was transcending and humbling in God’s heavenly ways. The moment I was grieving for the loss of my uncle, the time I was struggling in things that I do, the things I shared my personal stories too, she would always be there to listen and make me realize that things would always turn out to be perfectly fine. I doubted, questioned, complained and bargained and all of these pessimism and cynicism in me has slowly been crystallized, purified and enlighten by her.

Now that things have to change and that it has to end in God’s esoteric reason. I felt more than blessed to have a Principal, friend, confidant and sister in Christ who has shown me how things in life can be created by GOD so precious for me.

Freda, a lady of GOD, you have inspired me and many people in many ways and I will always be grateful to GOD for this wonderful and amazing grace. Part of you has made me see things in a different perspective and has brought me closer to GOD our heavenly Father and King.

Till we meet again!
