change is not just something that jingles in your pocket...

i had no idea when i wrote that silly little phrase that i would be encountering a major change on the work front of my life... what's interesting is that i don't even know yet that there IS going to be a change... i've been working in the same school for the past year and a half with the same autistic child. i have seen aMAZIng changes in him, and have had the joy to be there for some big moments... he is 10 years old, so he is all about change:)... but in the autistic mind, there is such a wide variety of ways to go, little hidden doors that need to be unlocked... i've been able to help open a few of them and now i'm anticipating going to be with another child... a junior high boy that i know nothing about... so that will be a change... but when i listened to the radio this morning? there could not have BEEN more references to how God wants us to be faithful to HIM not to our own comfort... step out... so i'm trying really hard to simply be "available"... to have the right attitude... if you can't change your circumstances? than change your attitude... (yes mom, i did listen growing up....i just mentally tantrumed against this platitude)... so who knows what the next step is going to be... but i know one thing, i'll have either a new appreciation of what i AM doing, or an appreciation for the upcoming change and challenge that God is presenting...
