Change

Our family has been going through some change lately, which is not bad. Like many people, I don't initially embrace change. I'm not opposed to it, nor do I avoid it, but there are times when I could do without it - only knowing that change, even if it's good can bring about stress.

But once I get through it, I'm fine. It can be a small change (like my husband still trying to get me to use the Bluetooth Headset that he gave me for Christmas. I know I'll love it, it's just that I have to learn something new) or it can be a larger one (like my husband quitting his job and starting his own business, losing security and comfort). With each new bout of change, I learn how to handle things differently, hopefully better.

My picture of the week is a reminder that change is good. This is from last weekend, when my niece was baptized. The perfect example of how internal change can give you the strength to handle external elements beyond our control.
