clay in The Potter's hands


These past two weeks have been a time of mighty transition for our family.
Days busily filled with the familiar, our old routine, are no longer our constant. 
This is a time of stretching and pruning, much prayer and reliance on the Lord. 
A time set apart and removed from distractions and the mundane.

But the will to change is a strange thing.
Never does it deny who you are now, for you have a starting place. Change cannot make you be someone you are not. But change can help you to become a clearer image of God’s love, life and example; if you let it occur.
Change can also be negative growth if you are not careful. Change does not have a conscience. It wants nothing of you, except your will to move you. So be careful of change but never stop embracing it. For it will make your life something that at the beginning you would not have imagined your life could ever be.
In the end change is the only constant we truly have in life, for it is always happening. We need only  be conscious of it. Do not let it happen passively for it will grind you down too easily to a place you never thought you would go.
Embrace the journey of change, looking to its horizons and envisioning how you hope and pray what your future will be.
