Change

It seems like no matter what change is constantly around us. Sometimes we are trying to prevent change and other times we are trying to make change. No matter what I don't think change is something that comes naturally to people. We are all creatures of habit. Right? When we are trying not to be creatures of habit, our habits just change to something else.

I feel like change is something that I have never been good at. I've always tried to keep things the way I THOUGHT they should be. I was so excited to go to college, until the summer finally came and me moving out was near. At that point I had decided that I really wasn't sure I wanted to move out anymore. Well moving day came and went. Change set in and things started to become "normal" once again. It wasn't the normal that I was used to but it was the new normal. The normal for that phase of my life.

Then came the time to leave Manhattan. I was so excited to get out of that loud town. Then came the time for Lance and I to pack up our stuff from our first place. I started thinking about all the good times I had in that town. It was sad and I found myself once again wondering if I really wanted to move. Well we moved out and traveled around until the time came when we got our location.

Hereford, TX? Yeah I wasn't sure about the town the first time we drove on in. It looked dirty and smelled like a mixture of cows and funny bread. It didn't take long until that smell became normal. When you leave town and come back, that smell greets you and unexpectedly, it greets you in a good way.

What's my point? I'm really not sure. I've been thinking about change a lot lately and wondering what change will come next. Baby will soon be coming but there are months between now and then. I guess I'm very thankful that God is in charge and not me. So when it comes to change, I know that things are changing for a reason and he has a plan. I'm so glad that he has a plan for me.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understandings; In all you do acknowledge Him, And he will make your path straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
