Change is inevitable. Sometimes, we long for change and other times we dread it. As each season brings change, look for beauty. Look for opportunities to allow HIS beauty to shine through you. Rise to the occasion and flutter about from one flower to another with a positive attitude and love in your heart!
By HIS mercy and in the grip of HIS grace,
Andrea
Beautifully written, Andrea. Change is often met with different reactions but there is beauty to be discovered in all circumstances.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, I can't even begin to tell you how this post touches me right now. Things are changing in my life right now at such a rampant rate that it's overwhelming and tough and I am trying to remember each day that God has his plan for me.
ReplyDeleteMuch truth in this. Change is inevitable, but so hard to accept sometimes. Like your last kid a senior in high school? :)
ReplyDeleteOh no! This post is for me. Our life group changed the study and I dislike it! OK I'll try to see some beauty in it. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThis was a nice post! I'm always afraid of change. That is one thing I HAVE to work on!

I'm not good at change but I realize sometimes change is good. Thank the Lord He never changes; He's the same yesterday, today, and forever! Hallelujah!

Wonderful, Andrea.
ReplyDeleteI fight change, and yet in change there's growth.
Blessings to you.
Beautiful, pictures, beautiful words and beautiful music. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI've been through a lot of change lately - my husband's job, a move, my son moving out, changing doctors, churches... all kinds of things. I have to admit I don't like change. It really does stretch us and help us grow - and change may be uncomfortable and seem like a bad thing, but God knows what is best and we can usually look back and see how wonderful it was that we had the change we did.
ReplyDeleteI have awards for you on my blog.
So well put, Andrea. God is the master of change, and His change is renews, refreshes and restores.
ReplyDeleteWhat spectacular photos and poetic prose!!! You inspire me Andrea!!! Thank you for this beautiful reminder!! ~Janine XO

You are so right...some change I welcome...other change I dread.....But through it all God keeps us in His firm grip!
ReplyDeleteI have been through a lot changes this year. Most of them are changes that I have never thought could possibly happen. God has helped me so much. I am thankful for the support I have received through my blogging friends.
ReplyDeleteAmen! I'm glad that despite the many changes in and around us, we have a God Who doesn't change. Praying all is well with you sister.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteFluttering, fluttering and looking to Him!!
Love and Hugs!

Andrea, you are right, change is inevitable AND sometimes change is very good. We just had all the flooring in our house changed and it was such a wonderful change. I pray that the Lord will change my heart to look more and more to Him.
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure to visit with you.
ReplyDeleteYes change is inevitable ... couldn't agree more.
ReplyDeleteAmen sweet sis.
ReplyDelete" And He made something beautiful in my life"
ReplyDeleteAndrea,
ReplyDeleteThis is so amazing. Two days ago I was in my back yard and was really close to a butterfly going from one flower to another. I thought about posting about it. You already did. I thought about how I could shine God's love around like the butterfly. It was amazing. The butterfly let me get really close and did not fly away. It was so beautiful.
Thanks for sharing and posting what was in my heart and Spirit.
Blessings,
Tammy
Andrea,

I don't know why I fight change so much but usually the change is pretty good. Hugs to you Andrea.
ReplyDeleteThank you Andrea for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFacing my change with that positive attitude, that's the way to go. Yes, with God's grace.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Blessings, Andrea.
ReplyDelete"By His mercy and in the grip of His grace"...praise Him! Change, sometimes it is so uncomfortable and even inconvenient, but as you stated, inevitable.He changes us and conforms us to Him...
ReplyDeleteThankfully I quit strugging with change years ago. I agree with Rcubes comment.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeletemiss you. :)
Pristine, beautiful pictures. I don't like change, but I love butterflies, so there you are.
ReplyDeleteI am living a season of immense change and its partner uncertainty at work. It's been tough, but I just need to keep bending in to the wind and being open to each new day and event. Thanks for the encouragement! And thanks for your friendship.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures you have taken, my dear Andrea. And this post says it all in just a few sentences.
ReplyDeletePraying for you today.
