I'm not good at analyzing lyrics and half the time I don't even hear them correctly. So I don't know all that David Bowie was referring to when he wrote this song, but I know I can relate.
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time
Right now I feel like most things in my life are changing and it does feel very strange!
- Starting in August, I'll be teaching at a local Montessori school in their middle school program. This requires me to take some extensive training in July. There is also a new middle school classroom for next year. I've been preparing as much as I can for the training and the new school year.
- I'm trying to figure out some health issues so I started a Paleo diet to see if it will help. I have to say that I do feel better after just a week of eating this way and I've lost a little weight.
- I started learning Spanish. It's fun, but I have a long way to go!
- And so on...
I'm trusting God with all this and I feel fine until I start to think about the unknown and the strangeness. What will teaching at the new school be like? What else is needed for the new classroom? What is teaching in a Montessori environment like? Will everything be okay while I'm at the training? What should I eat for dinner? :) That's when I start to pray and remember that God will equip me to do this.
I hope you are all doing well and that all your changes are good, too.
