Change is inevitable; big changes, small changes. Life is full of them. Sometimes change is welcome and sometimes change is painful and difficult. One thing remains constant in the ebb and flow of our lives - change means beginning again in one form or another.
A fresh beginning brings new perspectives and hope-filled visions for the future. Like a weary sleeper waking from a long slumber, change can open your eyes to a whole new world. Change is often the path God uses to direct our lives. Change is good because it keeps us humble. It keeps us dependent on the Savior.
My life has changed drastically in the last year. Many things familiar and comfortable are no longer the same. I find myself a bit lost in the middle. What will things look like now? What will this new season hold for me and for my family? What is God's will for my life at this moment? Where do I go? What do I do?
Even in the midst of my uncertainty and weakness I am confident in the fact that God holds my life and times in His sovereign hands. He is the Author of beginnings and as I survey the great changes that have taken place, my trust and faith for the future lies securely in Him.
