Change
Have you ever felt like God was calling you to change, but the change was so large, so new, that it seemed like jumping off a cliff? From time to time in my life, I’ve felt that way. This is where God asks us to trust Him. I know you’ve heard of the old hymn which has, as a part of the chorus, the line “leaning on the Everlasting Arms.”
I’ve heard it said that trust in God is leaping off the right cliff, knowing that those Everlasting Arms are just past the brink and ready to catch you.
If God called you to do something new, would you do it? If it meant going beyond your comfort zone and saying something to someone, could you open your mouth and trust that He would give you the words? If His path took you a way you’ve never been before, would you go?
I believe the key to great accomplishments and change are found in the prayerful, trusting, leaps into new territory. I’m going to try to take a few new leaps myself; care to join me? Blessings, PB

Hi, PB. I totally understand how that is. I loathe change, but if it comes from God, then at least I know that it is going to be OK somehow. I have had many changes in the past year such as losing a job and finding a new one, facing things that were hard, and losing two relatives through death. I guess I will just have to accept the fact that change is good, even if it is hard, and that God will bring me through it. I guess “the more things change, the more things change”, which is hard for me to grasp sometimes. However, I would definitely do what God wanted, despite my fear of change because I believe he will catch me no matter what happens.
