Can I say for the record that I like change?
I cannot be linked into the massive group of people that don't like change. I've heard it said, "Well, nobody likes change." Now you can say, "No, I know someone who likes it."
Transition is awkward, so I'm not a huge fan. Or the moments leading up to change and transition... I don't like those so much either.
Change though... that's fun. "Wherever God leads" are the most adventurous daring words in the English language. It's what keeps you from being stagnant, too comfortable and apathetic. I like being slightly uncomfortable, always moving, and caring so much that my heart might burst and I need to go home to be alone to contain it.
How could you live any other way? How could you possibly give everything of yourself that you're meant to if you don't live this way?
When I was praying about taking the job in Tennessee, I worried about my girls in Illinois. I'll never forget those conversations with God. Me throwing out a reason to not take the job and God answering with a way that he would have that concern taken care of, making my reason an excuse. One of the things he said to me concerning my girls was, "How can you lead them as you're supposed to, if you aren't following me?"
Our life in Christ is supposed to be led by him, others moving in and out of our influence, but that doesn't mean that we lose contact. (Besides, we can always creep on them via Facebook. :p) Ergo, unless we let go, we can't lose those God places in our paths.
And God's right (imagine that). How could I show my girls a life that trusts God completely unless I act on that trust I have in him?
Change will happen and this is a great opportunity for me to show the girls how God takes care of you and how he has amazing plans for our lives. I am loving every minute of it. :)
