Change

The last few weeks have been totally crazy and not that fantastic.  There's been too much change for my liking, and if you know me, you know that I really do NOT like changes.  I was super comfortable with the way my life was going at the end of 2011, and I'm guessing that why God decided to shake it up.  It's kind of scary because all of this is going back to a few of the nights at OGN over 6 months ago.  At OGN, I told God that I wanted Him to have total control of my life, and he was free to do whatever he wanted in my life and completely shake it up.  Little did I know that he would mess with some of my closest friendships that week.  Once the week was over, I guess I thought that he was done shaking things up, but guess what?  I was wrong.  Again.  A few days into the new year, he decided to shake things up again.  I found out one of my really good friends was moving in a few weeks, and I was NOT a happy child when I found out.  I guess part of me was scared of how everything would be after they were gone and another part of me really didn't want to go through what's happened many a time and totally lose touch with someone who was once one of the most important people in my life.  Having moved 3 times in 10 years, I've seen that happen a lot, and part of me regrets it, but if it's a true friendship, a few hundred miles really shouldn't make that much of a difference, as I have very quickly learned in the last 2 weeks.  

That's not really the point though.  I believe that God will shake things up just so you remember to fall back on Him at any time and in any situation.  No matter how big or small the problem is, He is always there even when people aren't.  I'm not saying to always be uncomfortable in your life just so God won't shake it up.  I've learned that with every trial He puts you through, there's a lesson to be learned.  Let God shake up your life.  Tell him to do something crazy in it because I can pretty much guarantee you that something even more amazing will come out of it.
