Life is unstable, I am unstable, but one thing that is consistent is CHANGE...
Change is good, change is necessary, change is HARD, change in inevitable, change is GROWTH!
Some people run FROM change, I am one that runs TO change!! I embrace it! Usually(in some aspects of my life) I LOVE to change my furniture, my hair, my style, and my shoes:), but more serious changes, like life, job or even money.....I freeze up and I'm not sure how to proceed...
Lately I feel the I need to change my perspective. To alter how I perceive things in my life, to view them as God would. At work I struggle to keep a positive attitude and not let the small things bring me down...I focus on MY needs and how they are met or not met..Basically, its all about ME. I'm pretty sure that this isn't what the Lord needs me to focus on. I walk in the door to work and I'm the first thing on my mind;
My heart has been heavy with the desire to CHANGE. My heart desires to go to work with a lite heart & the intention to be an example to those around me & just inject everyone with a dose of Jesus, not by anything I am saying but by my actions alone...this requires a HUGE change.
I am not sure how to alter my thoughts, but I know the more I immerse myself in the word, the more it will ooze out of me:) Scripture is my best defense against the enemy!!!!! So my challenge to you would be to embrace change, immerse yourself in the truth, and inject those around you with love...
Please walk with me through this season of "change" in my heart!!!
Jeremiah 29:11 The Message I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
Philippians 4:8-9
whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

i'll be there, walking along side you, trying myself to turn things around for the better!
Speaking of changes, have you seen my living room? I have a husband bemoaning his blue curtains, who doesn't take change very well at all, to put it mildly. And today is the end of JN Plumbing as we known it. Sooooo, as these outward changes take place around me, I will join with you in praying for those other changes that show in my countenance that I trust God--that He has it all under control--and the joy of Jesus is in me and ready to overflow into my thoughts and conversations to others. OK?
