Change

Change has overtaken my life! As cliche' as it may sound, the only thing constant in life is change...and such has been true during the past few months. It seems that my life is either stagnant or changing, changing, changing. I am someone who normally becomes bored quite easily and look forward to some sort of change, but during the past couple of months I have started a new job--laced with new procedures, responsibilities, and colleagues, began new relationships/friendships, and been faced with some family "tragedies", for a lack of a better word. Don't get too upset with me, but I am about to drop yet another overused cliche'...they always say be careful what you ask for. Man, has that been true!!! For several months, I prayed and prayed for God to bless and guide me into a "new" season in life...and He did :-).

My goal during this time, this new season, is to dig and search through each situation for the blessing, the good. I am thoroughly looking for the part of the change that is making me a better person; despite the stretching, discomfort, and challenges, I know that most of the changes that have occurred are good ones; hard changes but good ones. Variations in my life that will, no doubt provide me with some sort of wisdom and strength.

So, onward I will march through each change; trying with everything in me to understand and relish in the fact that, 1) I am growing 2) the pleasure and pain of each twist and turn in my life are blessings from God and 3) I will adjust. I will wake up one day and find myself wishing for change again, I am sure. I can only hope that I will remember this time in my life and think nice and hard before I pray for God to bring something "new" into my world. Because, I am learning that when He answers a prayer...He REALLY answers it!
