Walking Wiser

When I was a teenager, I wanted nothing more than to gain weight. I was so skinny they called me "Beanpole!" I tried weight-gain tablets -- which didn't work -- but giving birth to a baby boy one day -- brought on the weight I longed for. YIKES!

Fast-forward a few decades -- now I celebrate when the scale doesn't move! Funny how life changes, isn't it?

I also remember wearing those stylish spike heels! Let's just say my idea of "high fashion" now includes shoes that love my knees as much as I do!

Life has a way of changing our perspective.
But the biggest changes aren't found in our closets or on our bathroom scales.

They're found in our lives.

Children grow up. Careers end. New opportunities appear. Doors close. Others open. We celebrate weddings, welcome grandchildren, move to new cities, say goodbye to loved ones, and begin chapters we never imagined we'd write.

Change is inevitable.
Growth is optional.

That's why I find such comfort in God's unchanging promise:

"For I, the Lord, do not change." (Malachi 3:6)

What a relief! While everything around us is shifting, our Heavenly Father remains the same yesterday, today, and forever.

I've discovered that seasons of change are often God's invitations to trust Him more deeply. He isn't just changing our circumstances -- He's shaping our character.

So, whatever season you're walking through today, don't be afraid of change.
Lean into the One who never changes.

The same God who faithfully brought you through yesterday is already waiting in your tomorrow.

And that's one thing -- that will never change.

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8)

He doesn't merely take us through change. He meets us there.
BTW -- I'm living proof of that! ❤️
