u have overcome the world...

yesterday i nearly threw in the towel.

nursery yesterday was quite close to living hell. we moved to brightstar instead of convention centre and all the teachers had a change in uniform. the kids, started screaming at the first sight of this overwhelming sense of unfamiliarity. and there were more tables chairs and cupboards than convention centre. i spent the entire day TRYING to make sure no one bangs their head while cllimbing under the table etc etc. and no one slams the lousy door on their fingers. and stupid parents that behave like we're their slaves. and screaming babies. and a particular girl who is attached to my leg. and a baby who puked on me. in other words..mayhem.little monsters fest.toilets that choked. a teacher who got involved in a car accident, another who fell down in the toilet...basically alot went wrong.AT THE SAME TIME. i think we need to dedicate more time to prayer before that. and while all these events were unravelling, pastor prince goes on joking, preaching, and the congregation goes on laughing, enjoying while we toil.....behind the scenes of brightstar childcare development...

at the end of the exhausting day..when i lay my head down to rest, and i close my eyes, i can still see images of those screaming machines. yesterday was a real test of my love for them. and how much of my serving is truly God...because when those cute cherubic faces u seee on anne geddes posters fade and transform into i dun even wanto coin a term for that ....its a different thing altogether. mucus, saliva, puke galore. u need His wisdom, His power, His everything, to calm them down, to shut them up....to love them. and of coz the muscle to carry them because they are so fat these days...

after yesterday's harrowing experience, i think i can stillmanage a smile when i think of them. except one baby whose mother is quite the dragon lady. but other then that, God is faithful and good. and my time in nursery is not up yet i think. now its really His strength. BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CUTE IN THE NEW ENVIRONMENT!!!yes.lambs in monkey disguise. who would have thought...
