A little change...

It's amazing what a little change will do to a picture.

It might change the mood of the picture.

The way people look.

The atmosphere of the setting.

It might take the picture from something formal to something more casual.

I could end up with a picture I just really don't like.

But whatever the case may be, a little change does something.

And change can happen not only in pictures, but in life.

Change does something to us.

It makes us look at ourselves differently.

It makes us look at everything around us differently.

It can certainly change our mood.

But the thing that is different about changes that happen in life...

Is that sometimes they are unavoidable.

Change is going to happen.

I don't have to change the look of my picture.

But much to my dismay, I can't always stop changes from happening in my life.

They still seem to come.

And that's when I trust.

I trust that God is sovereign.

He is in control.

I am not.

And so when I step back and look my picture(my life) over...

I still may not like what I see...

But I know I'm in no better place, than right where He wants me to be.

"The Lord is my shepherd;

I have all that I need....

Even when I walk

through the darkest valley,

I will not be afraid,

for you are close beside me.

Your rod and your staff

protect and comfort me."

Psalm 23:1,4 (NLT)
