So, this will probably be my last post in Indiana, for a couple months anyway. But a big change is happening. I'm spending 2 months in Atlanta. Not sure what all I'll be doing, but high school youth groups will be coming weekly. Sizing between 20 and 70, I'll be organizing them and helping them help the community, either service projects, or helping with a VBS type thing.
But this bring me to my thoughts for this blog. A lot of my friends are going through pretty big life changing things. I've seen a lot of hard goodbye's mixed with a lot of happy news about marriages, grad schools, internships, even just going home for the summer. But these things bring about change. Change can seem bad at first. My life is good where I was at last week. Why would I want it to change. But I get to serve God for 2 months. This is a good change right? The answer is yes. But there are collateral damages that lean towards change is bad. I said a very long and funny goodbye last night. I laughed alot, but also was pretty sad. This was a sad part of change. But both of us will probably go on to good things, and the changes will be good. But for now its hard.
So I apologize for this, because it doesn't seem to flow and make sense. But yeah, change is good, but collateral damage is not. But if we are ever to make things better we need change. Being stagnate is not a good thing. Romans 12 says to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. So even our minds need to continually change. If we don't we as a friend pointed out, we stop leading. And as Christians we should be leaders.
So hope you've enjoyed, and feel free to tune in and read about my adventure in Atlanta. Maybe they'll be a little more reasonable.
