Last semester in my entrepreneurship class we had these daily journals that we had to write a few sentences about what we thought of them. They were all quotes. One day there was this quote: “the only thing that is permanent is change”. Honestly, all of us kind of thought that was the dumbest quote and didn’t think it made much sense.
Over this last month and a half, I have learned that to be the truest thing. I used to hate change and how different things became over time. I used to ask God why He needed to change anything when everything was fine. BUT that’s exactly what it was, it was just “fine”. How stupid was I to think that “fine” was good enough for Him.
I’ve changed immensely in this last month and experienced so many changes around me. I got accepted into this program that was such a dream to me, I have gained 45 new AMAZING, Jesus-loving friends that are just as crazy about spreading the Gospel around the world as I am!! (like seriously, I already have so much love for them it’s insane). I lost a few people I never thought I would, went through a breakup that taught me so much about myself, I changed my priorities and mindset completely, but most importantly, I’ve grown significantly in my relationship with my Heavenly Father. To think that a month and a half ago I settled with “fine” is beyond me.
God is faithful. He knows your heart, He knows your needs. Stop acting like you can do it on your own!! God stepped in right when I thought I had it all figured out. His plans for me are greater than any plan I could’ve ever thought of for myself. That goes to show we don’t always know what’s best for us even when we think we do.
I have come to love change, but more than that, I have learned to embrace it. Change is constant. To be afraid of change is to be afraid to grow. And all I know is that I want to grow for the rest of my life.
thank you GOD!
Also I’m blonde now so that’s cool! Embracing the change!
so much love,
Miranda
