Mothers-to-be [training]

We had a new addition to the family =) Elaine took a step of faith to join us this week Heh-
I didn't convince her much in joining after what Esther had went through. I symphathized with her now haha- Knowing well now that you need a calling to work with kids. Otherwise, send them to childcare the next time. Just kidding. My boss tells them that they'll get a feel of how being a mums like. I was helping to clean the eating area outside and the dishes yesterday when I finally realised how tiring a cleaners job is. Isn't that what all our mum does? =)
So elaine after much prayer, God answered her =) and me Heh- She and the rest are a blessing to me I told my boss. He did not just give me one nor two pianist to teach me, but three =) He gave me the best and anointed pianist from church hand picked by God alone. Hands that set lives free. It was that particular week too I felt sick and wasn't feeling too good. So 'drain' physically - working even when you're sick, that I was talking to my boss till I almost cried. I went away before I did. She tried to get something out of me for the way I feel but I really didn't had any answer. I just need true rest and time alone. So I requested for Elaine to be with me. The next day, Esther requested too. She granted both our request =) So the two of them were with me while the other colleagues were sent upstairs. Heh- My boss assistant ask me if I feel better with them around. Of course, days seems shorter and more fun =D
Today Jofid msg this to me : Babe u know what...when i went back to my side aft lunchbreak today the teachers said tt 1 of the girls (she's quite new) was calling my name in the sleeping room throughout and they didn't know where I was haha. N i thought she'd forgotten me cos she's quite new and was on mc the past 2 days..
Today a girl woke up from her sleep and I carried her till she fell asleep with her whole body flat on me while I sat with my back against the wall. She slept for about half an hour on me, loving the comfort of a human touch. She made me feel so loved.
I love this job because it leave a fingerprint in my heart. I get to witness their first roll, crawl, stand and walk. Many times even counting the number of steps when they first learn to walk independently. And the first word from a child who hardly speaks would thrill us. It's an exciting experience.
I know that Esther, Jofid and Elaine will take back this love. A love that will make you a more gracious and loving person, or better said a great mum =) No experience when put in God's hand will be in vain.
