This picture shows just a portion of the front of our building.  Today in worship the pastor’s theme was now change is a necessary part of life.  We can’t refuse to change, but we can decide how we will react to change.  With change you can be a leader with a prophetic vision of where we should be heading, or you can can drag along waiting to see if the change proposed turns out to be a good idea in your opinion.

I deal with people everyday who are facing changes in their lives.  Some are major changes and others are minor.  Whether major or minor change most people find a way of saying they wish things did not have to change at all.  As the opportunity allows itself I ask them, “Where is your faith is in the midst of this change?”  The responses vary greatly.  The most helpful feedback I receive is down the road when I encounter the person again and they thank me for asking them the question.  It seems we don’t automatically use our faith to help us process change.  I find that when people tap into their spiritual resources in a time of change they are better able to deal with the change.

I am curious what your experience with change is, please share so we can all benefit in adapting to change.
