[...] few months I keep turning over and over in my head not walking in fear. Conversations with Shawn, blog posts other people have posted. It keeps coming back like a little bouncy [...]

I LOVE this post! I relate to it so much. I just blogged about change just the other day! I love the calm and peace of things staying the same. It’s hard for me to not be fearful of change, yet sometimes I get restless for it. Hmmm. We are such complex creatures aren’t we?!

In theory in LOVE change. It keeps things fresh and new and exciting. In theory. When it comes right down to it, I don’t know that I embrace it as much as I would like to think. Now that I have children especially. I still love the exciting and the fresh and new, but I long for steady, routine and boring. It’s the day to day that keeps me sane. When I have too many days that are out of the “ordinary” I loose my focus, my sense of stability. Thanks for bringing it all into perspective today…

I’ve thought about this post a lot since I first read it. It’s frustrating to think how much I get caught up in thinking about the future and miss out on enjoying the now. Thanks.

i yearn for change in theory, but up close? it can petrify me. two sundays ago our senior pastor prayed, ‘God, you terrify me. You ask for things that are too big.’ and that pretty much sums up where i am right now. i refuse to make idols of my children, our safety, our stability, this comfortable life.

and yet the alternative has got me shaking even in my sleep.

When I’m struggling, change seems like a nightmare. But I when I’m not struggling, I anticipate change to the point of dreaming with my eyes open. I’m trying to be more steady in that.

I have been through so many changes in my adult life…some bad…most good…I feel very blessed. Funny thing…it is still hard for me sometimes…causes me anxiety. But after taking the steps to make the changes I am always happy I did…its just right before that’s hard. Silly, huh?

I love it, hate it, dread it and crave it. And I’m about to dive into some SERIOUS change in the next few months. And I’m super excited about it!!

I feel the same about my son and kindergarten and the new routine. I remember chatting with you right before school started about our mixed emotions, and now look at us with our new routines!

And I was just thinking the other day about how normal it feels for me to be working again. I had to try to remember — what did I do with my days when I was home full time? It’s amazing how we forget when the adjustment happens smoothly.

I usually try to resist it. But I know it always ends up being what is best for me. God plans it that way. So with Him guiding it I can’t resist it.
