CHANGE WE CAN COUNT ON

   Posted by: pastordiehl   in Change and You

Two weeks ago I blogged about Change and the Church. This week I’m blogging about Change and You.

Shortly after President George H. W. Bush left office, he described in detail his final flight on Air Force One after the inauguration of Bill Clinton. That day Bush woke up in the White House and went to bed in a rented house in Houston. He said that the next morning he woke up early and started reaching around in the dark, trying to find the button that for years had signaled the staff that he wanted a cup of coffee. He accidentally woke up Barbara, who figured out what he was trying to do. She said, “George, you’re just going to have to get up and go get it yourself. Its over!”

There are times when each of us have to deal with change that is thrust upon us. And that change requires us to do things differently than we did before. Mark Twain once said, “The only one who likes change is the baby with the dirty diaper.”

What change has been thrust upon you?

moving to Indiana feels like it was thrust upon me, even though I did agree to it. In moving the way I lived my Christian walk has changed dramatically. Coming from a small church where everybody knew everybody (and their needs) it was easy to serve and be active in everything. While I love New Hope, it has been a BIG change to have to force myself to seek ways to serve and be active. I’m not being asked or called upon any more, but rather I have to seek out opportunities. Who would have thought that change would be so difficult?! When you get used to being called upon (whether you truly desire to help or not), it is really hard to change how you seek God and His will for you.
