Change

I've ignored this blog for so long, I don't think anyone checks it anymore. That's probably a good thing. In so many things I'm consistent, & in so many other things I'm inconsistent. This is one of those things. And while I doubt that will really change, I know I should be more faithful in putting my thoughts out there. If for no other reason than the simple fact that it forces me to think. So maybe this should change.

I've never been a fan of change for the sake of change. I'm not talking about the coinage rattling around in my pocket. I mean changes in life. Not all changes are good things, but in reality many are. Mostly, I find I'm most concerned with change that affects me. And yet that is such a godless approach to life.

Change should be a God centered event. I've always loved Abraham's story. God called him to a land he did not know. A direction he had never been before. Without reason & without explanation Abraham picked up his family & all his positions & went where God led him. I've always hoped I would have that kind of faith. The faith to make a God change in my life.

This year has been a year of change. The birth of our son has been the biggest change event in our lives this year. His introduction into the world was a God event. It's been a good change.

And more change is coming our way. I hope I can embrace change the way men of faith have always embraced it. With faith & trust in God. Knowing He has something better in mind. Perhaps change is just one more tool in God's box to draw us closer to Himself. I hope so. I look forward to the journey.
