I recently wrote how I am not a fan of change. As a planner and a creature of habit (see: routine) it is really difficult for me to just let things go and fly by the seat of my pants. Some call it trust issues. Whatever. I just don’t like change. Not. One. Single. Bit. But sometimes, I crave it. Aren’t feelings so weird and conflicting sometimes?
As I was reflecting on this post, I realized that in those moments where I feel like time is crawling by are the moments I need to be open to change. These are the times when God is working in me, and the only way that I can grow from an experience is to allow change.
With that said, we are really in for a year of changes. Moving, new house, new rooms to organize and decorate, new schedules, new normals. Our “normal” as it is will change drastically, and part of that makes me cringe. I like comfortable. I like knowing what is going to come next in my day to day and be able to predict. Quite frankly, I don’t know HOW this whole moving thing is going to go. It freaks me out. I have laid in bed at night wondering things like “Will it be weird to have a bedroom so close to the kids?”, “Will the kids even like moving?”, “How long will it take me to get used to the fridge being on the left side of the kitchen as opposed to the right side?”, and “Where will we PUT everything?”. (Seriously, I have issues.)
So after my brain calms down, I take a deep breath and remind myself that change is good. I can do this. We can do this. It’s going to take time and patience, but it will be so worth it.
