The word unsettled came to me just before I decided to write this. Looked it up in the dictionary and I think it reallly gives a whole lot clue as to how and why I felt the way I do.
Unsettled : If you are unsettled, you cannot concentrate on anything.
I knew in my heart I cannot make a decision when I am tired. Yet my heart was restless. I began to rationalise in the natural. Everyone who had worked in childcare told me not to. Even if you do, maybe part time would be more logical. How I long for that day yet it was not something I could consider now. Could it be the age group I worked with? The younger toddler. My colleague teaching the older ones tell me it's tiring looking after them. All this just confirms how I felt at that moment.
My friends from the other centre teaching the older kids started telling me about their place, how warm and nice their principal is and the people there. They have heard so much about my principal and what a perfectionist she is.
I found out two days back that one of my colleague transferred with another colleague from another centre..My colleague casually asked my boss if I could...She gave me so many answers..bottomline is no and stay. My supervisor summarizes it well, "So simple.You dun have to keep figuring out and could go home and study".
When I knew the answer, I shifted back my focus and enjoy where I was. I knew and trust that my boss knows best and every decision or open door is under His control.
Today was my last lesson for the module 'Infant & Toddler'. My lecturer played a video on Infants and Toddlers in a childcare. Deep in me, I knew I still very much love this age group.
The frustration comes when I starts to reason again...These little ones cant talk back to me. The most they can tell me is "No", cat, duck, dog, bye....
But I know in this pass one year, I've learn a lot thru them. Mostly to learn to communicate to them even when they do not respond, that first comes with knowing them. And most importantly to learn respect especially more with infants.
My heart is settled now where I would want to teach this coming year and because of this, I know I can give my full concentration to it. When I walk in the desires of my heart, He gives me supernatural strength and love to do what I'm called to do. When there's purpose, there's power to do what He has called you to do. Just caught this =)
And with the purpose, it gives you peace and life in every area of your life. I'm happy and well now =)
Proverbs 29:18
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the Law, happy is he (KJV)If people can't see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed. (Webster)
