Change it up...

It's funny how change affects different people in different ways. 

I LOVE when the Minnesota season of winter changes to Spring/Summer.

I loathe when it changes from Summer to Fall. 

Others I know, look forward to Fall as a welcome relief to the summer sun. 

They get excited about things like Pumpkin Spice Lattes and chili cooking on the oven. 

This type of excitement is foreign to me. 

I love change, or so I think I do!?  Talk to me about changing the wall color, or the placement of furniture and I could talk all day. 

There have been days that I've spent changing the whole layout of a room...only to move it all back by the end of the day!!  

However, I realized today (when I took ten minutes to think), that I don't all together love change- when the dynamics of a relationship change, I don't like it. When the rules of the game change, I don't like it. When the course of my life has changed without me planning it, I haven't liked it...

BUT I've needed it. And God planned it. 

Change taking place on my terms is preferable, but change taking place in God's timing is perfect. Even when the process is not.
