Changes

Life is always changing.  I know that.  I don't always like the changes, but it does.  Some changes, involving people I know, have not been very good.  Some changes in my life have been good.  Andy accepted the pastorate at our church.  I believe this is a change God wanted, and although it is a little scary realizing that I am a pastor's wife, I have willingly accepted it. 
  When I was younger, any new change in my life seemed to really freak me out!  I was scared about marriage, yet with Andy everything seemed right.  I was very afraid of moving to Indianapolis after getting married, when Andy was trying to finish his computer degree.  We only lived in Indy about a year, but I now love Indy.  I was scared about having babies, now Andy and I have four beautiful daughters.   
  I have always been afraid of putting myself out there, for the world to see. I have been very shy in years past.  It has taken me a long while to do things, that I have thought about doing (some of that is procrastination too). I am not as afraid as I used to be of changes.  I try to take changes as they come and not stress   I look to God to help me through the changes.  He knows best,(even though sometimes I think I know best, I do not).  God knows which paths I need.  I know He will guide me in every new path I take.  I am so glad that He never changes!  If life turns upside down, He is there!  If I find life to be wonderful, He is there! 
Thank you, Lord, for being with me in all changes, good and bad!
