change

Change, the word itself doesn't even sounds fun.  But it happens to all of us.  Change is something we all have to deal with. 

I have come to realize that change is much easier when you are younger.  When you don't have major priorities or families that get in the way, change is something you do every day.  However, when you have children and a husband and other family, it's hard to deal with. 

Change also goes along with comfort.  We usually don't like change because we are comfortable where we are with what we have.  Anything that comes in and doesn't fit makes us change and we don't like that.

I have recently be informed of a change that will be coming in our lives in the next few months.  My first instinct is to start planning.  I am a planner!  I plan for everything and then I also plan for the things that may happen to change my original plan so that I am prepared.  So when I first hear about this change, I start my planning.  What are we gonna do about this? and what about this? and how are we gonna make this work? and how will I fit this in? and I will probably have to give this up.  It's all gonna change. 

What I also struggle with is just letting God deal with the change.  I struggle with him taking the lead or I struggle to give him the lead is what I really should say.  I like to be in control and sometimes you have to face the fact that we just don't have control. 

So here I am, knowing the change is coming, and I need to just let God take the lead.  He already knows the outcome and he has already won the war.  Anything that I go through is nothing compared to the cross.  Much easier said than done for sure.

So here we go, ready as we can be for change, and ready to give the lead to God.
