It's Friday. It's another five minutes of free writing with Lisa-Jo Baker.
Change.
I'm not really a fan, but you'd never believe it, if you know me. That's because the only thing constant in my world, change.
And I learned early on that change can make or break your spirit.
When the Daddy leaves home for good.
When the job is re-org'd.
When the house is foreclosed on.
When the doggy dies.
When the body is altered permanently for life's sake.
When the kids you prayed for- really become yours.
When the home grows and the family multiplies.
When the relationships you treasure and the church you called home nearly two decades changes-
your spirit can break, Or not.
I don't like change, but I refuse to let it break me.
Change- is good!
Hi neighbor for FMF! I so admire foster families. I will pray for you. And someday, I hope to be one. I admire your attitude toward change. You are strong--it obvious in your choice of words.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you neighbor. I hope you will pursue your hopes- and make a difference someday. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI really like your attitude about change and how you are not going to let it break you! Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteChange can really be difficult sometimes. The older I get, the more I resist the change. i love your attitude-not to let it break you!
