Change Promotes Growth

Sometimes we have to rearrange things in our life...sometimes we do it intentionally, and sometimes God forces us to do it! Sometimes our priorities get all out of whack and it's not until the carpet is pulled out from under us do we realize the mistakes we've made... the potential for even greater loss... that we're not as tough and strong as we thought we were! We can't be independent. Or we just need to make some realistic changes, simple changes in our lives. Or, maybe it's changing our expectations...of ourselves, of family, friends, God or whatever!

I really don't like change! I am a person who likes to know what's coming next...and routines are good for me. I like structure! Don't get me wrong- I do like positive change, but if I'm involved I like to buy into it and understand what's going on! I don't do chaos well!

As a new mom, I am adjusting! I am changing! God is helping me rearrange some things in my own life! There is chaos and sometimes, even with a routine! There are unscheduled surprises- well, almost daily! I've found that sometimes even the most trivial things can shake me up! I'm learning to "flex" though! God is good and even thru transition and the difficult part, He remains faithful to draw people by my side to help thru the valleys, to encourage me, to inspire me... I am so very blessed!

What about you? Do you feel like your life is in a state of chaos? Has God made some rearrangements in your home? Have you? Are there changes in you or your situation whether at home, work or play that need to be made? Is there something you could change to make life less chaotic and more enjoyable and peaceful?
