change

so let me just clarify here; i am not talking pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters here. i am talking about how things differ from the way they used to be. i had the pleasure of going to my hometown today (had to get my hair did). and I took the same route I always take and there unexpectedly was a stoplight. my little 5 stoplight town suddenly has 6. my first reaction is that i am dismayed, i mean who does that? who adds a stoplight to a town that for the last 25 plus years has only had 5? well apparently my people do that. and so because i can do absolutely nothing about it, i will accept it and try not to be surprised next time i come to that intersection. now i must say this is so much like how I view serious change. my first gut reaction is resistance. but i've come to realize that almost always there is no need to resist. God is always in control, and knowing that, i can have peace and know that every change is in His control and i can completely trust that He knows what is best. so bring on the change, i am ready and excited for what God has in store for me. noni fun fact: i am addicted to coffee, or maybe just the caffeine in it.
