Yes, some changes are sad, painful but I am learning that even in these there is good if I take the time to notice. My natural instinct is to be negative but thankfully my dear husband is the opposite and I believe I am learning from him and also learning to let God change me. It is a lifetime process, dealing with change but it is good.<br />I hold on to "in all things God works together for our good". I used to think that was just the 'good' or if I got 'it' all right but now I believe it truly is 'all'! <br />May your faith grow and your roots deepen as you trust a God of love.Grandma Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770351296878161488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613947081772547465.post-78543925232541531342011-01-17T10:33:07.039-08:002011-01-17T10:33:07.039-08:00aah!

Sometimes we...I'm scared, especially right now. Sometimes we're not given a choice in what changes and that's scary. The only choice I have right now is how I will react to the changing situation and that doesn't feel like enough. It seems, that as an adult you should have these choices, that you should have more control over which direction you go. It also seems that what is good and right should always triumph over what is bad and immoral - right away. It seems that if you do the right thing good things should happen. But none of this is entirely true and sometimes we have to suffer because of the choices of others. Sometimes the only choice is whether to passively accept changes that appear to be horrible and wrong and trust that God will turn it around as he sees fit or to fight what is horrible and wrong and trust that God will turn it around as he sees fit. Trusting God should be enough. . .you would think. . . lol. . . easy to write, not so easy to do.Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612261461596212472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613947081772547465.post-63425371252440829372011-01-16T13:17:07.076-08:002011-01-16T13:17:07.076-08:00Jenn, yes, I am scared, too.

In a way that is so good, it means we are alive and can't be tempted to simply settle into a comfortably unchallenging way of life. But change can be so painful that it feels like it will tear you int two and sometimes it can be so disheartening when you realize how easy it is to become things you don't want to be.<br /><br />I will be praying your changes are good and fruitful and that they bless your life so richly. <br /><br />Take care my friend.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564805397010089954noreply@blogger.com
