Welcome to Come Let Us Reason

The Weekend Before the Change

Today is Saturday, September 27, 2008. Things are changing, the weather is different and so are the faces of the people that surround me. I am wondering today what is the difference, is it me that is changing or the simply the world around me.

What is change, Change is awkward -- at first. Change is measured by its impact on all who are connected to it. Change is here to stay.

Change is something that presses us out of our comfort zone. It is destiny-filtered, heart grown, faith built. Change is inequitable; not a respecter of persons. Change is for the better or for the worst, depending on where you view it. Change has an adjustment period which varies on the individual. It is uncomfortable, for changing from one state to the next upsets our control over outcomes. Change has a ripping effect on those who won’t let go. Flex is the key. Even a roller coaster ride can be fun if you know when to lean and create new balance within the change. Change is needed when all the props and practices of the past no longer work. Change is not comforted by the statement ‘just hang in there’ but with the statement ‘you can make it’. We don’t grow in retreat, but through endurance. Change isn’t fixed by crying, worrying, or mental treadmilling. Change is won by victors not victims; and that choice is ours.
