  1. I really, really don’t like change. But I need this reminder. Who was it that said insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results? I’ve been stuck in a rut and it’s time to get out.

  2. Oh yes, change can be so hard but we can’t avoid it if we want to see improvement in our lives. Thanks for not only showing how desirable change is but outlining how we can attain it in this post.

      It absolutely has to be intentional and conscious. But then it’s amazing the growth that can take place! Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. God bless!

      Great minds, right?! Sometimes focusing on the ‘why’ pertaining to the desire for growth can help encourage and motivate the change. Thank you for stopping by and commenting! God bless!

  3. “Don’t let things from your past stop you from seeking growth.” I think this is the one that hits home the most. I have often times felt unworthy of growth, but we all know where this stems from. Satan has a way of whispering in our ears. God says He has redeemed, thus, I need to live in this truth. My redemption allows me to grow into the woman I was created to be! <3 Thank you for sharing! I always feel encouraged when I read!

      That point was written from experience, too. I’ve experience Satan whispering in my ear and trying to sway me with the lies that I’m not good enough or worthy enough of God’s love. Thankfully the closer I get to God the easier it is to shut out Satan. Thank you for stopping by and commenting! God bless!

      Thank you Lesley. Sometimes if we don’t take the time to actively map out goals it can be too easy to let them slip and then growth doesn’t happen. Thank you for stopping by and commenting! God bless!

      Very true Kathryn. There are aspects of our life that are constantly shifting and changing. There are then also aspects of our lives that we wish we could change and move on or grow in but we have to choose to make those intentional choices and stick to them. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. God bless!

    Letting go of the past is sometimes so difficult but one of the most important things I’ve noticed helps me meet my future goals.

      Absolutely. If we remain stuck in our old patterns of behavior or thinking it is hard to move forward. Thank you for stopping by and sharing. God bless!

      Romans 12:2 struck me too when I was writing this. Change is not just behavior or doing something different but actually altering our mind on how we think about things. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. God bless!
