Wednesday morning was my first morning with my little "Green Lambs". I have prayed over the last week that God would fill me with an overwhelming love for my little assignments and a joy for the morning. God is faithful to provide us with all we need when he calls us to something.
As I reflect on the morning I can't help but laugh at myself. Imagine Miss Nancy of Romper Room with her high pitch whimsical voice: "Hi Nathan! I'm Miss Wendy! Here is the name tag that I made for you. This is YOUR name tag!" Good words, I forgot how much a 20 month old likes to call something "mine". "Let's do bubbles!" Another good one with little guys as they knocked each other over trying to catch bubbles. Next came story time, (to the tune of 10 little indians) "Who will come and sit on my blanket, who will come and sit on my blanket..." followed by "This story is from the Bible and it is true." (Oh, if only you could hear the sing song pitch.) Then came snack and craft (they LOVE stickers) followed by more wandering playtime.
Over all it went REALLy well. Time flew by and I enjoyed all the kids. Even Jonah, who spent the entire time wandering around with a constant whine/ cry. He was ticked about being there and unhappy with everything. Not crying enough to call his mom, just letting the world know he was NOT amused with the situation. One of my helpers commented on it and I realized it had become like white noise in the background. It really didn't even bother me. Now THAT is a God thing.
I can do this. 11 more weeks. I can do this. And, I believe, I will enjoy it. Who would have thought.
Note to Mike: Don't get too excited - Let's wait and see what God says before signing me up for a lifetime of nursery service!

I will keep my excitement to a dull roar...hear that echoing over the rockies and across the fruited plain.
