A page has turned?....or at least fluttered in the wind

The Lord has been good to me for a long time--but the fast few days its been spelled out in him opening my eyes to me being right where he wants me, vocation wise.  The past few months have been some of the most difficult emotionally, and physically...and whom I'm kidding spiritually, yet.  But I'm starting to feel like (and it feels like it almost happened overnight) I've got this.  
And not only that, but it being my first job and all--that reality very much translates into me feeling comfortable in my own skin--and that, my friends, cannot be bought.  
I think that I've had this idea in my head, for awhile, of who I want to be---and I'm just not that person--not that I couldn't be, but in some ways I don't think I want to be anymore.  
The other day I was pressuring Cleveland to talk to a higher up about someone on staff actin' a fool....my favorite line with him lately is that he's a big softy.  And he made a few comments about how he feels like he's a softy around me because I'm always pressuring him to toughen up on people.  And how I keep him on his toes.  It was quite humorous.  Today, I was working with a 6 year old on expressing anger appropriately--so we were making a list of things that help him to calm down---I suggested carrying a silly picture in his pocket and asked him if he had one.  The boy said "There's one!" And pointed to my ID badge!  DANG 6 YEAR OLD FACE BURN!  It was amazing, I gave him a high five.  I positively reinforced a face burn!!  Those are my ramblings, now I must go home.

Dang...that's awesome! I don't think I've ever been burned by a six year old...but I think I have been by a 3 year old. ;)
