Changes

Change...it's scary, but sometimes necessary. For some time, I felt God was calling me to make a change. I wasn't sure where or what, but I knew something had to change. I had feelings of uneasiness and unhappiness. It wasn't anyone's fault, but I felt stagnant in my current position at school and church. I allowed myself to become a little too comfortable, a little too safe, and a little too secluded. I knew there was more to this world than what I was allowing myself to discover. And so the need for change became a necessity for my life. As hard as it was, I left the comforts of my job and church and let God make the necessary changes in my life. Leaving was the hardest thing I have ever done, but through it God has shown me so much of who He is. By empowering me to leave, God has given me new boldness and confidence in my strengths and abilities. And so, I have a new start before me. I have been hired as a program assistant at a public school working with special needs students, a career I almost pursued. I have been involved in local theatre, a passion and a dream of mine since childhood.I have been going to a wonderful church, a blessing for my family!I will miss seeing so many people on a daily basis-my students, my friends, my coworkers-they will not be forgotten because they were instrumental in my life. But, a whole world awaits me.And, yes, change is difficult. But without change, there is no growth. Without this change in my life I would never have seen the possibilities I am now experiencing.
