We Fear Change

Change is good. No, let me change that to: Change is good for you.

If things didn't change, you'd still be playing with building blocks and wearing diapers. (Hopefully you're not wearing diapers.) You probably agree with me about change in theory at least, but, like me, you probably still fear change.

In the spiritual work I'm doing, change is essential. I'm talking about deliberate change where you break old habits and shake things up on purpose. Change is essential for waking up spiritually speaking, so I try to change often. You can see in the photo how much I've changed since I moved to Europe.

And right now as we speak, I'm changing my hair (it's growing out). I've changed my home base to Munich for a month or so. That means I live in a different house with different people who speak a different language. Oh yes, and I pay for things with different currency, Euros instead of Swiss francs.

Kalindi talks about THE GLORY OF CHANGE. I think the glory comes from letting go of old ways which keeps you fresh and alive. When you're changing something major, you know you are not dead. You may feel crappy, irritable and scared, but you are definitely alive. And when you are changing, you're moving into the unknown and letting go of control. God is in favor of that, I think, because in the unknown, you need Him more. And when you let go, He can take you. Now that's glorious!

Of course none of this changes the fact that we fear change.

But you don't let the fear stop you, right?

Wishing you many wonderful changes...
