Every now and then life throws you a curve ball. You have a choice to hit a home run or foul out. Hitting the home run is not always an easy feat.

The ball may come too fast you don’t see it or it may come so slow that when you hit it is an automatic out. Then there comes the moment when you hit the ball and you start running to home plate. It is at this moment that you run for toward the prize…a home run!

Before you reach that pinnacle of joy, you must first get past the hurdles. First base is where you find out if you have what it takes to really get around the bend. Second base is your challenge of waiting for the end to come near. The third base is where you see the way to go and home…well home is the place of sheer joy.

Change is seldom easy and very challenging. The challenge lies in how you handle the change that is thrown your way. How do you take the moments handed to you during the change? How do you deal with the dust that flies in your face? How do you focus as the challenge comes your way?

God never intended for life to stop when the ball comes our way. It is His not intention to allow a challenge in our lives so that we cower in corner and give up. We don’t serve a God that gives up, so why would He want His children to give up.

God’s desire is for you to embrace the change. Take it, work through it, work with it, and live your best life in spite of and because of.

Sister…EMBRACE YOUR CHANGE!
