Habits are hard to break- aren't they? So are routines....so are traditions.
It has been quite a while since I have shared any updates with via my blog. I have been living in lala land of falling in love again. With this change has come many changes from experiencing a guy who buys me flowers just cause, to him taking a vested interest in my spiritual life and why I do what I do, to him easily becoming a part of my family from Day 1. Funny what can happen when you prepare yourself to receive the blessings of God.
So on to change....it is inevitable right? Yes it is. I have attended the same church since I was 8 years old. This is the church that my parents decided to join and we have made it our home. I met some of my best friends at this church, had my heartbroken, experienced triumphs, celebrated births and even came together to bury loved ones. I have had my share of both ups and downs from being a 20 year member of this church. I have been in ministry, I have experienced seasons of growth and drought. The time has finally come that I am ready and prepared for change. Although this will drastically change my family dynamic as well as my usual "routine" I know that I am at a new stage in life and I need somewhere to grow during this particular season. I prayed and pondered on this issue for several months, I never stopped going and I never wanted to leave due to petty issues or people- this is my walk with Christ.
Growing pains are definitely uncomfortable, but God makes us uncomfortable in order to effectively implement change. I am a firm believer that change begins in the mind- if you want a better self, think it and then you will become it.
Change your mindset, change your life.
