...Change...

Life change.

Usually I welcome change ---both in my pocket and my life. It's that fresh page or that recent challenge that makes the day important and significant to me. How can I continue positive change? How can I continually grow, learn and thrive where I'm planted?

This is why mornings are especially perfect in my eyes. The possibilities for anything and/or everything to go totally right... then again sometimes they go decidedly in the opposite direction. How can I combat the ensuing feeling of bleh?

Sometimes all it takes is a few rounds of me romping around to feel-good tunes. Other times... I need a community. I feel like the "village" that is supposedly necessary in raising offspring can also play a large role in the later years of that individual. All that and a 12 oz. americano, the latest and surprisingly greatest in caffeine intake.

Hmmm...

But anyways, this change I spoke of is definitely redefining my relationship with my former boyfriend. DEFINITELY.

Why the enunciation? Why the fear of change? Why the sudden onslaught of anti-I-am-woman-hear-me-roar-ness?

Well.... For one the relationship lasted two and a half years and for two it was my first. There was just a need for refocusing in our lives. Others had never been our priority. WE was the priority. Our selfishness was made more and more evident until it was no longer just in the background. The spotlight was on and God was no-where in sight. He was always THERE of course, but we had never made Him the center of our lives.

Change. Refocusing. Learning to love like our Creator does. Jesus was all about love. God = Love.

That's all. I am definitely still working through this and relearning how to chat it up with you folks. A few months off and I'm kinda... technologically obese. Hence the hamster on the wheel... he's not working for nothing! He's got purpose in his incessant running!

I am that hamster.

Peace peeps!
