Change

So apparently the word of the past few days has been change, or maybe transformation. I used to thoroughly dislike the word 'change', wanting the stability of things staying the same. Yet the reality is that things DO change and it's a natural part of life. Of course, it doesn't mean that I am always a willing participant and still forget to let go and trust in the process but usually once I do, I realize the changes occurring are for the best!

We're currently enjoying watching first hand the transformation process as we have caterpillars. We've watched them grow, get bigger, and currently are waiting as they're in their chrysalis. The excitement for them to emerge as beautiful butterflies is high and it is incredible to watch first hand God's incredible work take place. This process is also such a powerful reminder of how life changes and how it can and does lead to something more beautiful.

So today, ask yourself what changes are you fighting? What is something you need to let go and hand over to God and allow Him to be in control of? I challenge you to find one thing that you're willing to do this with and DARE you to write it down. Then imagine you've tied it to a balloon and let it go. I know, you're probably telling me right about now that I make it sound so simple but I promise, I get it - it's not!! AND, the freedom that comes from releasing it WILL lead you to wonderful new things - promise!!

As for me, it's time to go and wash out the new hair color that is currently processing on my head. Yup, told you the word of the past few days has been 'change'! Here's to change, transformation, and all the beauty that comes from it!!
