Preparing for Change...

Change is coming, it's the one thing I am most certain of these days. In a matter of weeks small groups will start up again, the House Churches will be up and running and following shortly thereafter, our baby will arrive. We will be leading a small group, leading a House Church (and hosting it) and becoming parents all in the matter of weeks. At times, I am overwhelmed with the thought of these changes. Generally, I am a prepared person, I plan for the future and am ready and don't get overwhelmed. Praise the Lord that God blessed me with a man who is the same way - we plan, we save, we stock up, we stay relaxed and we're ready. But, I also know that with being "ready", there's also the need to be flexible as things could be different than we anticipate. Can we roll with the unknowns of these major changes in our lives? Can we be flexible?

I am so thankful that I can trust the Lord to be a solid rock for us during times like these. He knows the outcome, He knows the "unknown" and has a plan for us. When things aren't certain, He is our certainty. So it's days like today when overwhelimg thoughts fill my head that I can relax because I know the ONE who is in control and I can trust Him - for He is trustworthy.

Amen.
