I’m pulling my “female” card. Yes, I am a woman and I am subject to CHANGE daily. I can CHANGE my mind about this or that. I can CHANGE clothes \u2013 just because I want to. I can CHANGE occupations (and I did). I\u2019m also a \u201csingle\u201d so I can CHANGE TV channels whenever I so choose. Widow bonus! I can CHANGE directions if I want to (That gal in my GPS system really doesn\u2019t know it all!). The fact is life is about CHANGE. <\/p>\n

CHANGE \u2013 to alter, replace with another, make a shift from one to another, modify, transform, switch <\/p>\n

Every day we experience CHANGE. You may be in that mid-life crisis aka \u201cthe change of life\u201d stage if you’re eyeing that slick convertible sports car. You may be considering moving to another city and state. CHANGE is a reminder of what it is for a season to end and a new one begin. How often have I witnessed the passing of a friend or loved one and within hours or days, in the same family, was the birth of a precious baby. That is the CHANGE and the cycle of life.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the really good news. God assures us He\u2019s watching over all our seasons of CHANGE \u2013 all our entrances and exits: in exiting high school and entering college, in ending single life to begin married life, in leaving one job to begin another, in checking the “married” box to the “single” or “widow” box. Even in the animal kingdom, we see changes. A couple of days ago, I saw my grandson\u2019s gecko shedding his skin \u2013 he was CHANGING. Bottom line — among all the exits and entrances and all the in-betweens, life, in any form\u2026.is just temporary. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

We can throw a tantrum, a pity party, a protest, a sit-in, a march, stay in bed and cover our heads, put our heads in the sand, wail, jump up and down and we can resist the CHANGES, but all the while, God probably shakes His head as He thinks \u201cWhy do my kids get so caught up on so much that is just temporary?\u201d There is one guarantee in life\u2026..CHANGE will happen. Change is something we tend to fear and become anxious about because we feel out of control. But we have this blessed assurance. God NEVER changes. “I am the Lord, and I do not CHANGE.\u201d Malachi 3:6. He walks with us in every season of life — no matter how easy or difficult. We can choose to accept CHANGE because God has a plan for our lives \u2013 to give us hope and a great future, and to prosper us. If we trust in God and allow the CHANGE to grow us to become more like Him in how we respond and act, then we are promised that \u201cEverything will work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.\u201d (Romans 8:28)<\/p>\n

God orders our days. He knows the seasons we are exiting from and He also knows those we are about to enter. It\u2019s a new day \u2013 yesterday is gone. Why don\u2019t we awaken to the assurance that He KNOWS ALL and if we\u2019ll board His ways, we\u2019ll travel higher, further and safer than we could ever imagine. I think I hear Him saying to us \u201cI\u2019ve got this so let go and let Me carry you through each CHANGE. Relax. Enjoy the ride. Trust Me!\u201d Rather than resisting CHANGE \u2013 let\u2019s embrace it and fly higher than we\u2019ve ever been before!<\/p>\n
