Change. They say it’s the only thing that’s constant in life.

It’s what causes the leaves to turn beautiful shades of red, brown and orange in autumn.
It’s what causes the tulips and daisies to bloom in summer.
It brings about magnificent sunrises and sunsets..
And the fading in and out of stars and moon that glitter in the sky at night.
It causes the caterpillar to transform into a butterfly, and the wind to blow through your hair on a hot day.

Then come the days when change is what causes us to move classes, move schools, move houses or perhaps even- move countries. We find that old friends drift away, and new friends are made. The pain from leaving the past behind is real.. but so is the anticipation of what lies ahead. Old love is lost.. and maybe, just maybe- new love might be found.

When i first heard the news that i was coming to IGNYTE, Trinity @ Adam, i was like whaaaaaaaatttttttt??? then i was like nooooooooooooooo... [what?! i'm being honest :P] then i was like *sniffle* okay. so maybe it won't be so bad. Don't get me wrong.. it's not because i dislike being at Adam. but like everyone else.. i don't like change very much. :S

But like what P.Gary preached at service last week- time for change- change can also bring about joy.. and stepping into an amazing destiny that God has in store for you and i. And when we run like a little child to Him, realizing just how much God loves us.. that His plans are only to prosper us and not to harm us- then we place our dreams, our life, into the palm of His hand. And there, in the midst of change, we throw our hands up in surrender and say "Father, have your way with me." We renew our passion to grow in God when we lay our heart before him in abandon and go "Lord, you can do anything you want with me. make me more like You."

So i realized- change isn't a good or bad thing. it's a how-i-respond thing. (:
it's true we might never be ready for change when change comes. but God is looking at my heart.. about whether He really is the Lord of my life- as i call Him to be. Now i'm beginning to see the meadows that lie ahead.. the opportunity, the future of what God can do through me in IGNYTE here at Adam. and i'm getting excited! :D

... God is looking at your heart today too. How open are you for Him to change you?
Love,
Sis Cherie (:
