Just when I think I might be coming to a point when things start settling in my life, another set of changes comes by, this time in the form of a second job. I was going to say it’s not bad and it’s just different, but I’ve been noticing that it’s very good. I’m being pushed in new ways that can only make me better, so long as I keep following God’s leadership.
Aside from being pushed in new ways, I’m also a lot busier in ways I haven’t been for a good while. I’ve actually been busy enough that I’m slowly admitting to myself that I might have to change the blog post schedule. I’ll let you know what I decide on that, but in the meantime I’ll try to keep the current arrangement.
I’m about to be learning and doing a lot of new things. The suspense in the meantime has been causing me just a bit of stress, but talking to God about it has helped immensely. Whenever I notice I’m getting a little overwhelmed, I just ask God for help like I would ask my parents for a hug. He’s just a prayer away, and I don’t even have to say anything out loud. Sometimes I just take a breath, ask for help, then sit still while God eases my mind. (Reminds me of Psalm 46:10. And the context for that verse makes it even better!)
Going through change doesn’t have to feel bad. It does sometimes feel bad, but it doesn’t have to be that way the whole time. Going through change doesn’t have to be just okay either; it can be very good!
