Change...

People change and we have to change with them, for them, and for our own good. 

Change is constant, compulsory, and challenging. As the seasons change, so does our lives have seasons of change. Though oft underestimated, unwanted, and uncomfortable, change is going to happen. Our relationships go through changes and we are oft caught off guard, sleep walking with each other, and bumping into one another through changes.

Time brings about physical, emotional, and even spiritual change. We oft want folk to stay the same in certain ways. Yet, time brings change to all. And we sometimes fallout and fall away from each other not recognizing change is taking place. We mishandle one another through changes, mangling relationships. Sometimes the person undergoing change is aggravated, burdened, and confused and at times depressed in not knowing or understanding what is taking place. And partners oft experience the same wanting to fix everything to go back to the way things were. It's not always that simple or easy and going back may be impossible.

It takes time to process. It takes patience to endure the process. It takes wisdom and grace to manage emotions and even develop some comfort in uncomfortable silence. It takes love, unconditional, undeniable, unwavering LOVE. It takes courage and hope and faith and strength. It takes all to be all in. 

It takes God. HE knows what's happening. HE has seen change. HE has anchored hearts and homes through change. HE has piloted people through change. HE has strengthened people through change, fortifying faith. HE loves us through all our changes and the changes we have put HIM and one another through. If you are in the midst of a storm, a trial of change, seek God and let HIM guide you through. HE helps us make the best out of change. Helping us change for the better.
