Embracing Change

Change:  To make different; to give a different position, course or direction; to replace with another.

 

It can be subtle, it can be noticeable, it can be by choice, it can be forced upon you, it can happen without you even realizing it, you can make it happen.  Whatever the method, it is inevitable. It will occur. Often, and in many facets of your life.

 

Change.

 

Embrace it. Encourage it. Appreciate it.

 

It's not easy to do this; the important things in life are not supposed to be. God didn't give us faith to make things easy, He gave us faith so that when things are difficult we have the strength to get through them. 

 

Change.

 

Do not fear it.  Do not resent it.  Do not disrepect it.

 

There is a place for change in all of us, and a need for it.  As much as we would like to make those around us change, we cannot.  We can only change ourselves, and how we allow another person or a situation to affect us.

 

Change.

 

Choose it.  Be the change you wish to see in others. Hope for it.

 

We are embracing change this week, we are choosing change to better ourselves and our family.  We are challenging ourselves to improve our quality of life. It won't be easy, but we will face it together and will power through the difficulties. We trust, in God and His plans for our family, in each other, and in change.
