my new job

"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had..." Romans 15:5

Today i start a new job.  I am not a media assistant this week, but a bookstore clerk.  The Book Fair at our school is a BIG DEAL, especially for our students.  The transformation from library to bookstore is magical -- like someone sprinkling Tinkerbell's pixie dust everywhere.  I'll be ringing up more books on the cash register from the Book Fair than i normally checkout from our shelves... and trust me when i say, "that's a lot of books!!"  

  

Do you embrace change with an open heart? I must admit, i normally don't.  I prefer the comfort and familiarity of routines.  I like knowing what is expected, feeling confident in my task, while experiencing little uncertainty or fear.  But there are times when change is necessary and beneficial.  The excitement on our students' faces is thanks enough for me to keep going... keep adjusting... and keep smiling.  

Come see us.  We want to put a good, forever book in your hands this week.

Father, strengthen us when we face unsettling changes. Many changes can't be altered, but we can change our attitude regarding them. 

Help us start by trusting You with what's ahead and embracing a change in attitude. May it produce sweet results of success, a spirit of unity for the good and peace to our soul.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,

now, go get and read a Good Book,
