well. i try hard to be consistent in journaling everyday. i am going to do a quick update because ..its important. my english is not going to make sense..haven't done stream of consciousness sort of stuff in quite awhile...here we go.
*i was feeling pretty down as we were walking to lunch today..when out of nowhere elijah looks up at me and says, "ms. singh, i love you so much."
it wasn't even a, i love you. it was a i love you so much! the smile that spread across my heart was unreal. God came at the time when i didn't expect it...i like it God. is that how much You love me?
* after school i tutor jordan. jordan has an extremely difficult time recalling letters...and academic concepts in general. last week we worked on the letter Cc. We reviewed it again today and at the end of the lesson i asked him to recall the letter...and he did!!!! i was SO HAPPY that i told him to come over to me to give me a HUGE HUG. he gave me a wonderful hug... a hug that lasted quite awhile. he didn't let go...it was like he had not been hugged in ...YEARS..and he is only five! it tore at me when i realized how much love...he needed. at one point he tried to crawl into my lap as he was hugging me. he was craving love. i am going to make sure jordan gets a hug from me each and every day. its unbelivable how much we need love..and God is love...but then God why don't you make your love more prevalent? why is it like i have to search for it? why don't you was Your love over and throughout my being? if i have this, i won't crave after other distractions...this is not asking to be like a robot...it would just be easier. aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
i digress. ( i also want it to be known that im watchin the music video ishq kamina ..so im wasting incredible amounts of time watching aishwarya and shahrukh dance in a village...i want to dance in that village! God please?!)
back to jordan..after our epic hug, he would continually initiate hugs with me... sweet. he needs love. we all do.
*another great project in the classroom is the, "what does ms.singh eat all day" project. basically vicky outlined my body, drew me, colored me in, and the kids cut out foods from magazines/newspapers and paste those pictures on me to show what i eat all day. its the BEST PROJECT EVER. just sayin.
*how can i forget aaliyah's hugs?
she came up to me this morning and the first thing she said to me was, "come here ms. singh..i am going to tell you something in your ear..you can't tell anyone.....its a secret...."
(i bend down to her ear level prepared to hear some shocking family secret)
aaliyah: (whispers) i have a loose tooth.....
me-...
hahahhahahaaha
*now i have to shower. but i just want it to be said that..kindergartners are incredibly smart beings. how lucky am i to be in such an incredible school ,classroom, under a wonderful leader, with other strong believer co-workers...and in a setting that brings me deep joy...the desert. God knows my deepest hearts desires...why should i worry over whether or not He will give me these desires...He will give me what i need....i just need help understanding this...
*me and val had another STELLLAR conversation...well its mostly me listening...but i gain great insight into walking with God and her walk with God..and the joy she has experienced in this walk...she spoke to me about how pieces of your past begin to connect..in ways you didn't think they would. ...things start to piece together..and one day you begin to see the bigger puzzle....
*tomorrow is our kindergarten spelling bee! yaaaaaaaaaaa! i went to dollar tree and spend forty dollars on prizes...that was so STUPID. then i went to wal mart and spent 20 dollars on snacks for parents that come...i hope many parents come
