Roll with it

Well winter has finally arrived in the Kansas City metro.

Pulled out the hat and gloves put on the heavy coat have to start the car and let it warm up, get the ice off the windshield. All of these things are part of living in a place where the weather can change very rapidly. One thing the changing of the seasons has shown me is that people are able to deal with change better than they think they are, it begins to turn cold and we turn up the heat, get the salt and shovels ready bundle the kids up and deal with winter weather, oh we may not like it necessarily but we know that there is nothing we can do about it so we just deal with it.

It has been said that the one constant in life is change, I believe that this is absolutely correct. Having said that I also believe that many people who quote this do not handle change very well at all, the become so set in a certain way of doing that to change it would really mess them up, I have seen people leave churches (including my own), leave jobs, leave relationships all because they were asked to change, to do things different than they were used to and rather than roll with the change they quit and went to a place where change was not required. The problem with this mindset is that the person who will not change never gets better they merely continue in the mode of mediocrity they are currently trapped in and this becomes their life.

Jesus always asked for change, He told the first disciples "Follow Me and I will make you..." in other words follow me and you will change, you will become what you are meant to be. Lets master change. ROLL WITH IT!
