God bless!

       As a person who prefers stability over anything else it is difficult to write this devotional because I can’t say I’m fully living what I’m about to write. I’m sure many are saying “then why write it?”. The reason I am writing it is because at times in life we have to make ourselves accountable and what better way than to email all of you and put myself out there? SO here I go! God wants to bring change to our lives. The change that He is going to bring will discomfort our routines and make us “unstable”. What do I mean? Not that we will be unstable but we will feel this way because we are not accustomed to being out of our normal place. Is it bad? Not at all! The change He will bring to our life will produce an environment of growth that we have been asking for and praying for now for a long time. So how do we prepare for it? We don’t. That’s the key, we can’t prepare for this change we just have to have an open mind and heart for it to take place. So what’s the next step? Pray, wait and believe. Through prayer we will begin to allow God to enlarge our vision, through waiting we will learn to appreciate what we have so we can treat what is coming with greater care and through believing Him we will receive the change. 

Keeping my eye on the Lord…
