Change
Saturday, March 04, 2006
Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it s threatening because things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.
I have something that has been pressing on me and I know what the Lord wants me to do, however I have two choices and I have been wanting to do the other. Have you ever felt that way? Do you know what I have done. Nothing!, I have talked to Him about it, but I haven't moved. I know what I have to do and I am going to do it and now I am not so reluctant because I have known from the start it will be for the best. It is not even something big, it's more about trusting Him.
I also am thinking of changing ministries. We have been at the boys home for a year and now that we have a houseful of boys, we are thinking of starting an evening ministry to the inner city ministry of our own small town. The boys can be involved with us too. So with God's leading we will see where this new adventure takes us. I will let you in on what happens in the near future.
I will be gone for about three days, I am going to see my mom, she is doing better, but still has a long ways to go. God has been gracious though, so I am thankful for her sake.
Anyways, pray I make the right decisions, change is Good I hear!

Prayers being sent your way for the choices weighing on your mind & your trip to visit your Mom. Praying she continues to heal.
*Been meaning to ask; would it be ok to link you?
Heavenly Father... bless her with wisdom and confidence. -Amen
I know exactly how you feel about the change. Always go with God's will and you can never go wrong. Love ya.
I have faced choice where I knew what was right but wanted to do what I wanted. I was always so glad that I made the right choice later on.
I am so happy that God helps us see what we need to do and helps us when we need it
I so understand about what you were saying. I've come to the realization that in a lot of areas (unfortunately) it has dawned on me that I pray about something but I don't actually do it. For example, I want to loose some weight and I pray for the Lord's help...but then I don't get off my butt and I don't stop eating what I should. Something like that I need to take the initiative and do and the Lord will help, but He wont "help" until I at least get off my butt and do something...
Dana, I enjoyed the way you broke that down, fear, encouragment and confidence. I'll keep those all in mind.
Glad to hear your Mom is still doing o.k.
You got a lot going on. I pray the Lord guide you in trusting Him and in making the right choice. Also, I pray that He would bless you in the ministry where you will be serving. Lastly, I pray for your Mama to be sustained and you be sustained in Him too. The Lord will hear our prayers in this. Rest well. God bless you!! Matthew 18:19
I find when things don't change, I get complacent. I welcome change where I used to fear it. Sometimes it's God's way of taking you to another level. The life of a Christian involves risk. You are not alone; God is with you through it all. I will pray for you, Dana, and your mom, too.
Repeat after me:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference.
I'm sure you have heard it before, but just thought I'd throw it your way :)
Sometimes making the right decision isn't always the easiest, but God never said it would be easy. I will keep you in my prayers.
Any ministry in His name is a good thing. I'm sure He will lead you in right direction for you.
Glad to hear your mom is doing better and I pray she continues to improve.
Have a wonderful week!
I'll be praying for you and your mom.

Change is a bit scary. The Lord knows what is best for you, now you have to trust him and let him show you. Good luck.
Yeah.. some good suggestions and encouragement. I for one have always found that if I confide in/share with another SIGNIFICANT OTHER,it helps. So I say to Keith or whoever... I´m gonna read through Ephesian during March etc. That way there´s a Christian buddy to keep you accountable. For some of us this helps.
Will be praying for you and your Mum, Dana.
You're doing a great job :)
Well done, Friend!
Decision yet?
I have something that has been pressing on me and I know what the Lord wants me to do, however I have two choices and I have been wanting to do the other. Have you ever felt that way? Do you know what I have done. Nothing!
