life just happens...

So today I learned that life isn't as fair or as convenient as I want it to be.  Yesterday I talked to yall about the aspect of change in our Christian walk with God.  But today I learned that change is a big part of any relationship no matter what that might be. Sometimes things pull friends apart based on distance or time.  Sometimes changes pull the people you love the most away from you just a little at a time.  In life there are not promises that things are going to work out exactly how you imagine them to (in fact for me they didn't). But the reality is that there has to be a reason that we change(for the good or bad). I honestly believe that God has full control of everything that we do and no matter what happens in our life to change who we are that God has a plan for that.  When we think of change effecting other people it really didn't seem to be that impacting ( or what i could see).  A lot of times when we change God has a specific out come that he has in mind and I encourage you to hold on to that outcome even when it seems like life is throwing you all around and even when people you care about act different or feel like they are hurting who you are trying to be.  Stay strong because in the end God is holding the remote...he can click people in and out of your life but he is never going to click the power button and leave you hanging.  Life is not fair and change is part of any situation we are faced with, but it is how we react to that change that really makes all the difference.  SO don't be afraid of change(or at least try not to be like i am). I guess i am asking all of you to believe that what has happened in your life and the changes you have encountered are what is best for you and if they aren't God is going to break them down!!! SO trust God

with the love of the Lord
