I've come to the conclusion that change is inevitable, regardless if we want the change or like the change we must adjust. 2013 is a big year and I'm sure there will be a world of change because changes have already started. There's no need to resist change because it makes life harder for yourself, you have to embrace the change and know God has placed this obstacle or change in your life for a reason - nothing happens without reason and nothing happens that God is not aware, He already knows how He will bless you on the other side of the situation - you just have to have faith, patience and patience. Yes, I know I said patience twice.....that's an attribute I'm working on.
I have several situations to face as this new year begins and I'm working, through blogging and journaling and prayer, towards my 40th birthday. Lots of changes, changes that have been a long time coming, changes I didn't think I needed to make and changes only I can face, with God by my side.
I started this new journey by deactivating my Facebook account. All these allegations and posts and games all over one website? I realized I was spending valuable time wasting away on Facebook. I challenged myself to spend some of the time I was spending on Facebook to spend in Bible study and reading. I have also challenged myself to replace negative aspects of my life with positive somehow.
The first step is supposed to be admitting you have a problem, right? If I made a list it would be long but my actions and reactions have placed me where I find myself in this life. I tried to control my life and the lives of those around me and instead of control I found myself alone and out of control. I need to allow God to have complete control.
This is a process.....I haven't quite figured this change process but I'm hoping by journaling I can express my thoughts and have a record of the process to look back at how far I've come.
Another big change the first of this year is our move. I've always said you make a home with love so it doesn't matter where you live. Financially we can't afford to stay where we are. The move will give us financial freedom, the changes/updates I want to make to the new house will give my mind something to think about instead of the negative comments and memories that circle my thoughts.
