Wait, what is this newness?
As believers in Christ, this change is not only inevitable, it is an absolute. It is not something to fear or out-rationalize. It is something to be treasured and celebrated. How are you celebrating your change this season?
Before you go, stop by yesterday’s post for a chance to Win!

I was thinking about this very thing in your message earlier this morning. In Samuel when Saul was anointed king of Israel because they wanted a king and God gave him a new heart to lead the people. So sad that He didn't maintain that relationship with God. And I realize, again, the importance of doing my part! Thank you for hosting!
Lisa Ehrman says
Thanks for sharing your post and linky at Together on Tuesdays 🙂
Lora says
So glad to have found this community! I spoke in chapel yesterday and one of my points was about new seasons! Bless you!
Patrick weseman says
I am not a big fan of external change, I do realize I have to change myself on the inside to keep going.
I always remind myself of two of John Wooden's quotes: "We can have no progress without change" and 'Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be."
Thanks for hosting.
Angela Howard says
Thank you for hosting the link-up and sharing so many wonderful scriptures in your post today!

Hi Jaime, First time to read one of your posts. It was very interesting and a new perspective on being resistant to change! Thanks for sharing it! Blessings, Janet
Mother of 3 says
Oh I have such a hard time with change! It's always so scary feeling at first like my life is out of control…. Unless it's painting the house, rearranging furniture or change like that; then I'm all over it and changing things up all the time.
Meg Gemelli says
Whew! There is SO much change happening in my household right now. Thanks so much for these scriptures. Holding tight:)
Lori Schumaker says
