junior's lessons

i was looking for pictures from mrs noah's arc which im so sure i had it somewhere on my blog, but i cannot find it for some reason. what a waste. i'm so sure i posted it, maybe i didnt publish it...

okay found it here so i did publish it, but i think my previous blog posts were all too long, so blogger didnt show the full month's archives.

anyway, looking back at that production, i realised i've met suven and bob before, but of course, never expected that i should work with them again in 4 years. anyhow.

i was just reflecting on working on this production, and although i complain a lot about rehearsal and about the kids and all, i think im still very thankful that i have this opportunity to work with children. somehow, although they are difficult in the sense that it takes really long for them to settle down, and there are loads of other problems to solve, one thing i really appreciate about them is their sincerity and innocence. they don't judge you for who you are, and when you scold them, they don't take it personally and they bear no grudge. of course, maybe half the time, it's because they have no idea what on earth is going on, but i really love their transparency and their genuinity. they really just accept you, and so many of them are jsut yearning and wanting that attention from you.

makes me think about what i am like as a child of God. do i reflect that same kind of transparency and sincerity? am i non-judgmental? do i forgive and not bear grudges?

i think God has really taught me a lot from working the past 7 months on this musical. i love the children, and sometimes, to be very honest, i find it so much better to work with them than the adults.

i know i always say that i don't want kids, but i still hold true to that statement. i wouldn't mind working with kids, but i wouldn't want kids of my own because they will ultimately grow up to become adults.

well, we're 10 days away from production, and things are still moving pretty slowly, but it's all in God's hands.

but the road ahead is dark
the path we seek we cannot see
