Easter Convention was lovely, I must say. Thank goodness Pastor Alvin managed to switch my role from a door-guarder to a child caretaker! While I'm sure being a door-guarder does have fun in its own way (standing aimlessly holding an equally useless walkie-talkie), I think I'll stick to my children thank you.

So I guess not having my fill of kids at the Ares Carnival was more than made up with the children's programme at the Easter Convention. And it certainly cheered me up a lot more.

Imagine this. A toddler not taller than your knee (well, my knee), wearing squeaky shoes, is tottering around on a carpeted floor. He totters to the edge of the masking tape on the floor, and attempts to pull it off! When he obviously cannot succeed, he gets up with some difficulty, almost over-balancing, and runs (falling halfway) back to his mother. He hugs her lower leg, and looks up at her in absolute adoration. Oh this was what the word endearing was invented for! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

I was assigned to Isabel, a cute girl who was apparently new, but unfortunately, Lucas got jealous. Very jealous. OH SIGH. He insisted on sitting in my lap the entire time (I should rent myself out as a sofa), and nearly cried when I paid more attention to Isabel than him. With the poutiest and sulkiest look he could manage, he whined

"I want to be Jie Jie's friend but Jie Jie don't want to be my friend. "
WHat is it with guys and their apparent natural inclination to jealousy?!

On a side note, I've decided to take up worship leading again.
(I'm putting it on the blog so I can't change my mind later, haha)
But anyway, I've thought about what Charles said, and I think its very quite extremely true. So please pray for me that God will make me an instrument of His will! And apparently Yien was glaring at me the entire time Charles was sharing, so I guess I must have subconsciously felt her vibes piercing or stabbing into me. But i'm thankful for the concern sister! ;p

And on an even sadder note, I guess I really am simple-minded. Too innocent? Too dumb? I guess so.
What am i supposed to do?
