I'M GOING THROUGH CHANGES

“I’m going through changes.” Yeah I knew this title would catch your eye because when I heard it out loud my ears perked up too. It’s naturally assumed that when you hear a person say that they “are going through changes” it is believed that they are having some “difficult” times – I thought that too but God in His infinite wisdom keeps imparting revelation into my spirit. No matter how confused I allow myself to become He reminds me that His change is ALWAYS good. For the few hours recently that I walked around perplexed God sent me word through my friend Catrell to let me know that He was in charge, that He was still in control and that nothing happens apart from His will. When I was thrust from my comfort zone He didn’t leave me in the blind for long He sent me a message to let me know that when everything changes, change everything. WOW! I hope you caught that - When everything changes, change everything. God said, “I’m going to take you through changes.” What He didn’t say was these changes would be like the streets and highways of Atlanta, they would have a few pot holes, some traffic congestion and things in the road that I’ve had to swerve around but by His Grace it’s been nothing major; what it has been is a pleasant awakening. Along this road I had to remember that God has given me something completely different, something that I’ve never had to deal with before. I must admit that it took pulling back the layers to reveal that God has only given me that which I asked for – change…(that’s why you have to be certain about the things you ask God for). We all like to ask God for things but we must remember to brace ourselves because when He does what we ask we sometimes can’t recognize it at that time. “God, change my situation…” He does but the road is bumpier than we expected, however, if we keep our trust in Him before we know it the road will have smoothed out – that’s blind faith….Yes, I’m going through changes, but the changes are good! When I thought I was lost in my journey God said, “When everything changes, change everything.” When I realized I’d been betrayed God said, “When everything changes, change everything.” When I thought that the change where I worked would bring us a positive change, God said, “When everything changes, change everything.” That simple sentence is words to live by.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting the person that would walk in the shoes that I’d walked in for eight (8) years. During our conversation some things were revealed but I told her not to fret because I had a peace knowing that my season was over and that her season was about to begin. When everything changes, change everything…My friend Rosalyn that has known me since back in the days of size 7 has told me twice that I “looked good”– that’s God’s peace; the same peace that I’ve had since I learned that the devil was going to and fro seeking whom he could destroy. Unlike man God knew that I would be going through changes, that why He gave me a few visions, gifts and talents a long time ago. All of this was His plan…God has something in mind for my future, for my development. He is getting ready to make me great! He said that I once was a servant, but now I’m about to be served. Yes, I’m going through changes but they are good changes. God had to make me lose something in order to make me look for something. So the next time you feel like you’ve lost something just trust that the changes that you’re going through are there to make you look for what God really has in store…and never forget ~ When everything changes, change everything.
