How do you handle change? Change is inevitable and is as much a part of life as peanut butter and jelly! Change comes to us in all forms: change of jobs, new school, graduated school, people close to us move away, marriage, kids! Sometimes it can feel like something in our life is changing everytime we turn around and change can be very scary. It can be very difficult to deal with. Above are some scriptures, stories from scripture, and also some quotes that have encouraged me and reminded me of the best way to handle change (also the worst way to handle change) when it comes in my life. I have learned my attitude in the midst of the changes can and will affect the outcome of my ever changing life. God did not call us to be Godly only when everything is just as we want it to be and we are comfortable. He called us to be Godly and trust in him through every facet of this constantly changing life. Love him more than you love your life(styles) and you will find the key to handling change: Keeping your eyes on Jesus! Worship him today, because he still sits on the throne and that will never change!
