You have heard the statement and I have made it too, "Change for the sake of change is never a good idea." Guess what? I don't believe that anymore. There are times, I believe, change for the sake of change may be good for the soul.
Not too many years ago there was a movie about making "bucket lists." Wow! Just about everyone was making their list of things they wanted to do before they "kicked the bucket." It was a popular trend for a few years after the release of the movie. However, I never made one at the time. I surmise that many who did were unfulfilled in their lives and found strength to accomplish things they have always dreamed of doing. In some ways I guess it's selfish, but I don't think it is completely. As I said earlier, I believe change can be good for the soul. Henry Blackaby, in his book Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God, says, you cannot go with God and stay where you are. It means more than just physically - it means there must be a transformation or as Paul states, renewing of the mind.
I have found my running shoes and fixing to head down those paths in the maze. Oh, I know I will not be by myself. God is leading me to fulfillment and joy.
On my mark, get set......I'll keep you informed...
Have a great day,
CW
