Words of change.
It’s a Five Minute Monday. Friday is too distant. ok. Go.
Words. I have a lot of ideas in my head. leaves and change, being inclusive and not exclusive, how I dislike a lot of pie… The words inside swirl like fireflies dancing. They are almost impossible to catch and to pin down. The words inside follow a small pattern. They go in circles. How many can we get out in a short time?
I love how the leaves know when it’s time to change. They know exactly when is the best moment. God has designed them to change colors, lose their leaves and seem “ugly” for a time. And then the new growth comes. they are this beautiful green bud that springs into leaves that show that growth is possible. And yet, what about us? Do we have it in us to know when is the right time to change? The right time to start a new growth? I think we know that we need to change. We long to see ourselves become good people. To become better than we are. We want to move to the best place for us. But I don’t think we have the best timing in the world. Like the woman in the Allstate commercial who has a blind spot. We can’t see the whole picture when we want to turn and we end up falling and crashing. But, just as God told the trees to change leaves, He will tell us. He knows when the right time for us is. He knows that sometimes we’ll feel ugly for a season, but it’s just that. A season. And with every passing winter comes spring. There is new life coming. Face the change with courage because it’s almost time to bud.
