I have decided to do a detox.
Only fruits, vegetable and nuts for 5 days.
I want every part of my life to be glorifying to God even what I eat.
Anyways program today was .....well I learned a lot.
The first part went really well with the boys although I have to simplify my bible study stuff so they can understand better. They're your typical boys curious with no attention span.
It wasn't until I started cooking with some of the girls that things went bad.
They went crazy.
to discipline the kids is a hassle cuz you have to go through so much. A lot of the time you don't wanna bother. You have to go through the attitude and the complaining and it takes a lot of time to actually follow through.
The kitchen was a mess. I was actually really temped to clean it myself instead of getting the girls to do it. But I forced my lazy butt to go make them do it because it was for there own good and I was there for them not me.
I walk in to where they ran off to see a girl eating a stolen yogurt from the fridge which I had told her not to take earlier. As punishment I told her to wash the dishes. I then went to the supervisor and she heard me telling him what happened.
In the kitchen she was giving attitude didn't wanna do it and things just got out of hand. She went off like a black women and started yelling at me "your not the boss of me" SOO LOUD and then I snapped and started yelling to but she didn't back down and that was my mistake.
Somehow things calmed down and she went to wash the dishes.
It was then that I learned that my mindset had to be right all the time not just most of the time. The kids pick up on your attitude and how your treat them; every small detail. I'm not there to order them around but I'm there to love them and to teach them.
I went to go apologize with the right attitude and when I did all the girls apologized too with the same attitude. (woot small win I think)
Hopefully things will get better.
