Change

Change. I don't like it very much. In fact, I might be as bold to say that I hate it. Yet, I'm also aware that change is at the core of our walk with Christ.
I read the following on Stephanie's blog today that really garnered my attention:
God did not deliver us (forgive, save, restore) to stay in the same spot. He delivered us from something to take us to something.
Earlier this week in a conversation with my pastor Matt, I was reminded that our desert experience should always be one of movement. Sitting down and being stagnate are not part of God's plan. And although the current season of my own life is not one I'd label as a desert experience, it is one characterized by movement.
Thus, I've made a decision. Instead of fighting, struggling, and "hating" the changes I'm facing, I'm going to embrace them and move forward. No, that's not quite accurate, I'm going to celebrate them, because they are part of what God has planned for me. As I ponder that, frankly I'm excited!!
Yes, it's time for me to stop complaining about the manna and savor the provision of my sweet LORD.
That's my intention and I'm sticking to it.
How about you?
Crazy for Christ,

Yes he can really bring the WORD alive and is not afraid to stand fully in the truth!! Wish you could hear him.

Nail on head Cheryl!
So you know, your post is part of a theme the Lord keeps throwing in my way at every turn.
Amen! Embrace the change!!
Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for stopping by and introducing yourself at my blog, and thank you for letting me know that LPL was coming to Springfield. I had no idea, and I'm so excited!
