Change

A lot of changes are occurring right now.

Mostly because a new school year is starting soon...and that always brings change.

My hubby's work schedule is changing back to normal (he was working four 10 hour days in the summer and had Friday's off, which was so nice). We have some students in the college group moving to go to school, or moving up into the next group.

I also spent the weekend by myself because Josh was down south for his best friend's wedding. I would have gone with him, but it would have cost us so much extra money to do so. With me not going, he was able to stay with his guy friends and save money. So, we sacrificed going together.

It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be...mostly because my initial plans were changed and I was at home by myself most of the weekend.

But, we survived, he's back home, and life is back to normal...

Sort of...

I don't really like change. It's probably one of my least favorite things. I like trying new foods, going to new places, and meeting new people, for sure. But, in all of those things, I can return to my normal life. I don't like the kind of change that shakes things up or causes me to lose parts of my life that I've loved for so long.

And yet, I always seem to adapt and adjust...just like we all do when things change. It's just hard at first to get over that initial hump.


It is now a new week, full of new possibilities...and I am hoping to embrace them.

Change is hard for me sometimes, too. I'll bet the week away from hubs was hard, but saving money is always a good idea! :0)

Definitely have a hard time with change myself. And if things have to change, I have this crazy idea that I have to CONTROL the change. Sometimes it's all I can do to keep muttering, "God is in control, God is in control, God is IN control."

I completely agree...change stinks at first. But it's amazing how God helps us through each and every step!
