Change, please?

When is that time that we ask for a change? Is it when we are in a rutt? Or in a place we would not want to be? Don't we usually fear the whole idea of change? Yet, that is exactly where Jesus leads us, isn't it? I am trying to be obedient to what God wants for me and that seems to be a whole lot of change.
Uncomfortable? Absolutely!
Trying? Could you call it anything less!
Stretching me? As if you could!
Exciting? As all get out!
Beautiful? In it's own way!
Worthwhile? It is what He wants, who I am to question that!
Fulfilling? In so many ways and on so many different levels!
Everything that Jesus wants for us is all these things, but the first step is usually change. Take that first step and watch how Jesus not only transforms you, but also the ideals you hold close, like change. Do I fear the next change? No way because through all the change he has me going through, I am feeling His promises for me more and more each and every day that I walk in change! Even though I do not know where I am heading in this change, God is leading me and I know that means it has got to be good! Jesus said to his first disciples, "Come Follow Me." Stop and think what changes they had to make to do that? Job? Family? Home? Friends? Travel? Clothes? Food? Water? Could you do it?
