I'm finding that as one gets older it's so easy to get stuck in a rut. We've all heard the adage, "If it ain't broken, don't fix it". In some instances this may be true. However, there are times when we need to make a change. Life can easily become stale and mundane if you don't have the courage to try new things. Variety is the spice of life and change can give you a whole new perspective. I personally love change. Several months ago I changed my hairstyle, got a new haircut and added a little color. But I noticed something. I observed all the changes I took myself through mentally before I actually made the change. My mental dialogue went something like this: Read more inside...

Life can easily become stale and mundane if you don't have the courage to try new things. Variety is the spice of life and change can give you a whole new perspective. I personally love change. Several months ago I changed my hairstyle, got a new haircut and added a little color. But I noticed something. I observed all the changes I took myself through mentally before I actually made the change. My mental dialogue went something like this:
"What if my husband doesn't like it."
"What will my kids say? You know how critical they can be."
"How will others react to this change?"
"Will they like it?"
And on, and on, and on...
The whole hair change thing really shed light on why many of us find "change" to be so difficult. It all boils down to one word, "fear". Here are a number of fears I cited in my hair change experience:
Fear of failure
Fear of rejection
Fear of the unknown
Fear of the opinions of men
My experience with the hairstyle change was minor. However, it really made me start wondering about other areas in my life where I needed to make a change. Have I let fear keep me from taking the leap into new territory?
How about you? What type of fear is holding you back from making necessary changes in your life? I want to encourage you to muster up the courage to face your fears head on. To make the leap to change you can start by enlisting the help of the Holy Spirit. With His help you are sure to land in a wonderful new place! You will look back and wonder why you didn't make the changes before now. Come on! You can do it! Live fearlessly and make a change.

In spite of being childless and with no childrearing moments to celebrate, Elisabeth was faithful in her duty towards God. Both she and Zacharias, although well stricken, were well situated for God to breathe upon their lives and upon their bodies. God was going to do a new thing for this faithful, righteous, and blameless couple. God was about to shine forth his favor upon this unsuspecting couple, and grant unto them a dream come true, which they thought, was a dream deferred, and God can do the same for you!

This is the season of the manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:31), yielding forth fire, glory, greater, increase, acceleration, etc. However, it's not short of warfare… and we thank God for all of it! I say that because maybe you're like me in that this year [has yielded forth some] unexpected things of life that you had no control over. From losing my job; to my husband's health issues; to personal family matters; so far, this year has been real. And yet...read more inside...
