Something fell on me today it was light I should have expected it to happen but yet I wasn't ready for it. It was soft and gentle almost like a feather it's color bought a smile to my face. I loved the sight of it. It was a leaf to let me know that it was time to make a change.
Life has it's changes sometimes unexpected and often not. I had several changes in my life the last few years. There were times when I didn't think my life could be any different and then the change. I have a new job now working in a lock up facility for teenage boys. It's a little scary for me being in a place that's surrounded by young men that have commented some type of crime. I have to get use to working though heavy steel doors that can only be open from someone watching from cameras. It makes me cry to see so many African American males behind locked doors. This is such a change for me as I have worked with young boys for over twenty years and they got to play outside no steel doors to go though. I have prayed for years that this wouldn't be their destination one day. A never would want this to be a change for them.
Life is like a leaf that changes so suddenly that you're not really aware of the change. My hope is that I will not work in a place like this for very long. I would like to be an encourager to the young men that I meet there but hope that a change that would bring a much pleasant change for me one day.
Look out for the leaves that this fall.
