Change . . .

King Whitney Jr once said, "Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better."

Over the past few weeks I have been feeling the stresses of change, not only in my own life as I move into a new place in life. Aka North Carolina, but also at church. Whitney Jr.'s words ring through in my life as I have learned to seek value, find encouragement and even see the joy in change.

I am not saying it is easy, but as he stated "it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better." I hope and pray anyone reading this blog does not hear me say that the past is bad or wrong, but just a starting point. God is all about change, creating and recreating flows out of His deep love for humanity. Out of that I find my encouragement to move forward and find the ways of making things better.
