Change! So many of us are scared of change. We would rather stay in our box, with our people, doing it our way. But change is a good thing, right? I think there is some misconception about change. Change doesn't mean you have be a different person. It doesn't mean you have to give up the things you like. And it definitely doesn't happen over night. I scroll down my timeline on social media and always see people talking about moving. "I'm moving to Florida to get away from the drama." Naw boo boo that's not how it works. if your life is shit here, it will be shit everywhere. Changing locations, does not change your situation. There has to be a decision in you to make a change to better your situation. I'll give an example of my fear of change. I know i need a better relationship with God, i know i want a better relationship with God. Every time i feel myself making the move and feeling closer to God, i run away. Why? Because i'm scared that it's gonna change me. Make me vulnerable. make me soft. This older lady at work told me, "boy, get over yourself. God made you with a purpose from the beginning. So you are not changing from who you are to who God wants you to be, you changed from who God made you to be to who you wanted to be." Well damn. What can i say? The bible says, “Before I created you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I set you apart; I made you a prophet to the nations.” God had a plan for me before i even knew me. So the image i have for myself is fake, false. Like a white gangsta rapper from the suburbs with gold teeth and corn rows. So every body should be open for change, looking to be better. We should all be standing on 38th street with a sign asking God could he spare some change.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I look up to you in this time of change. Allow me to have the courage to change my life for the better. Allow all my burdens to be given to you as I know that You will see me through. Teach me to love with an open heart and open spirit. Take time for me today to help with all the trials you have set out for me and allow me the strength and energy to follow you. In Jesus name, Amen.

Change is good and change is growth. Changing locations doesn't erase problems, but sometimes it's good to change scenery in order to get motivated. Fear of the unknown will keep you isolated and full of "what-ifs". Spitual changes usually gets the ball rolling for other changes to follow, and HE will never point you in the wrong direction. FAITH IS ONE HELL OF A MIND FRAME and that's really all we need!
