So, even though I am not a mom, and don't intend on being anytime soon....I often get to feel some of the joys of motherhood. I love love love my sweet babies at church...I do.
And I am beyond excited....BEYOND excited that in December we will have a new addition to the Jordan family. HOORAY!!!!! =).
But occasionally...you have one of those moments. But, yet I praise God that He doesn't allow my love to dwindle any, just because I get frustrated. I can just want to strangle the little darlings, but yet...I just want to hug them and take them home with me at the end of the day.
Today, we sang in front of the church. Our song was "Here I am to Worship." The kids looked fantastic...but I began to stress when two of my strongest (and who also get the most excited about singing) weren't there. Luckily, all my stressin was for nothin' (you would think God told us not to worry or something) and in came running Makaela and Kegan. The kids looked GREAT. I have so much joy everytime I see them up there. It just takes my whole heart. Especially the youngest ones....it's amazing that at 3...they can sing so loud...and do the motions so preciously. =) After we convinced our youngest girl to pull her dress down and stop flashing the audience ..we get through about half of the song..and I hear this uncontrollable laughter...and then I realized what was happening. Noah...who had a solo...was still close to the mic..and couldn't stop laughing. Now, Noah is my clown. But boy is he smart...he keeps me on my toes with my teaching, but also on my toes with everything else. =) Once Noah keeps laughing, everyone else continues. I'm in the back...trying to get their attention..because they are still doing the motions, just laughing....and I realized that in the middle of the sanctuary, our youngest member of the children's depeartment (Lillie who turns one at the end of the month) is going crazy dancing with the kids....so...I had lost them. I try so hard not to get frustrated in these moments, but at the same time....I know they are so amazing...I want everybody else to get to see what they've worked so hard for. ::sigh::
I love seeing the kids anytime I get to. I love suprise visits to my aparment, late night cleaning trips to the church, play dates...I love all of it...and I love that I feel the love is returned. Nothing makes me happier then hearing "Miss Christy" and the excitement behind their voices.
We are learning the Ten Commandments right now...and I am learning just as much as they are I feel. I'm excited about what God is doing.
And...even though I'm not a mom...I'm thankful for all the moms that I do know...because without them, I couldn't have a part in their children's lives. =)
**Vacation Bible School is June 2nd through June 6th!**
Until Next time,
Miss Christy
