season of change

After talking with Jennifer about disliking change, I thought to myself, 'Am I opposed to change?' I told her my viewpoint is that I want change on my own terms...

But change happens to us rather or not we like it. If change does not occur, we are unable to progress, become better people, stronger, wiser, etc.

And we aren't in control of what happens to us anyway. A lot of times, I argue with God about His sovereignty. At my worst, I thought what's the point of trying at all if God is going to do what He wants...

A lot of changes are upon me in my life, and I can't do anything about it-- my complaining thus far hasn't changed anything.

Once again, I must put aside my flesh and pride, and remember how sweet it was to be near God and readily recognize the presence of God in my life... regardless if it's on my terms or not.
