Kids Aren't So Bad

So this week (well its only been two days so far) I have been volunteering at a Kid's Holiday Programme at church.
I was put on leading a team, which I have never done before, but I figured I have led the youth band and other things before so I should be fine.
Wow.
Its really had an impact on me, even though it has only been two days.
Being this positive influence to these kids has really shown me the need that there is for children to have those kinds of people in their lives. A lot of my kids, who are aged 9 - 10 years old, were quite aggressive when we started, and I am still telling them to be nice to each other all the time, but I can definitely see a change happening.
When I started this, I wasn't too excited, but now after two days with my team, I am really starting to enjoy myself and getting to know everyone.
I always tell people, and myself, that I don't really like kids. I'm not a childreny person. You know how there are always those girls who have been childreny people ever since you can remember? They always have little kids hanging off them, and when little kids spot them they yell their names and run to them?
Well I've never been that person.
Kids have usually been scared of me. But now I'm realising that its ok to be around kids and to act a little crazy sometimes. My scariness seems to be going away... slightly... :-P
That's all I've really got to say.
I'm super excited for the rest of my week with my kids.
See what I mean, I even call them my kids.
Oh and the YWAM team up here are doing a great job running everything, and its awesome having friends my own age again. Even if its just for a week.
