It’s Five Minute Friday time. The hundred plus girls and I free write with no editing, no over-thinking, no worrying about perfect grammar or punctuation. Just write. {okay, we may clean it up a bit}

This week’s prompt is CHANGE. So, let’s get going. The timer is set and it is time to START

We all get a little intimidated by change. We generally don’t like it or embrace it. We get comfortable in where we’re at.

But, every day brings changes. We are not the same today as we were yesterday … or last week … or a decade ago. The only constant in life is change.

So, maybe, just maybe we should embrace change. We should look at changes in our lives and circumstances day by day as steps on our own individual journey. We can embrace the newness of each day and accept the challenges we may face.

Of course, that’s true for our faith life as well. We are not the same as we were in Bible school … or newbies in faith. We have to continue to grow. We have to put the words in the Book into our hearts and act upon them. We have to put away the things of our youth (in faith) and work towards a greater goal.

Change. Have you embraced it? … STOP

Well, that’s what I came up with this week. Read what others have contributed at http://katemotaung.com/2014/08/21/five-minute-friday-change/. You won’t be disappointed.
