Thoughts On Change

Change makes us uneasy. It's unknown territory and often times we feel pressured into change after we've grown considerably comfortable where we are. 

But I've come to learn that change is the only constant (as ironic as that is). Change is something we can count on. Time is it's catalyst. Time goes on. Sometimes it's slow and then sometimes it flies. And maybe we aren't always satisfied with the speed of time, but time doesn't stop. We continue to progress, and change happens.

We turn another page or another year older. We reach a goal and make a new one. People move around the corner, across town, beyond the state line, and across the globe. We start a new chapter. We meet new people. We find home away from home. Change happens.

I'm excited for a new chapter, really. It's new and it's different. It's out of my comfort zone. The silverware is in a new drawer, I roll out in the opposite side of the bed, and classes are 12 hours long.

But change is good. Change makes me better. It's through change that I learn to lean on The Lord. It's through change that I learn who I am, my strengths, my shortcomings, and my potential. 

I'm grateful that change doesn't change.
