When I Change Life Changes

When I Change Life Changes

It is amazing how much time we spend thinking about change. Change our hair color. Change our minds. Change our job. Change our circumstances. But the focus of that change is on things that exist outside of our world. God wants us to change inside.

Change my heart. Change my focus. Change my thoughts. Change my beliefs. It is the internal changes that create the atmosphere for lasting external change in our lives.

With that in mind, I consider the opportunity to renew my mind and fill it with the Word of God a challenge and a privilege. I have to constantly change my thoughts to reflect Gods thoughts about me. I have to change my inner image to reflect what God sees about me. I have to change my insides. Then and only then will my world around me begin to change.

Several months ago, when I launched my new Book, A Word In Season, It was on the wings of realizing three things. I noted them as...

1. Life without passion is just breathing.
2. Love gives life a reason.
3. What you spend your life on is nonrefundable.

I knew that my inner life was calling for me to change. It was telling me that there were areas of my world that need to pass on and that there were also things in my life that needed to be released into existence but my thoughts, attitudes and mindset was getting in the way of vision. It was blocking my ability to clearly see where I needed to go.

I knew that my finishing the book was a key to pushing beyond the impasse. I did not realize how true that statement was. As I completed and released the new book, my world opened up. Both my inside world and my outside world began to expand and enlarge themselves. No longer did I find my life stuck at the corner of a waiting place, but now I have begun to move forward!

And I am once again elated at the prospect of what tomorrow holds for me. Finishing A Word In Season allowed me to answer the mandate from my future so that I can begin writing the next chapters of my life even as I wrote the chapters of a book.

Alas, the book is done. Now, the website is done (for now -- though it is a work in process even as I am learning to create the elements of my own website).

And it all began with a desire to change--myself. It grew out of a desire to alter my own world by changing how I view it and myself. Such is life.

Which causes me to consider this thought, "Change is the plunger that forces old stuff out of the way, so that new things may come and flow through us readily."

So what inside you needs to change?

Truly Yours,
