Seasons of change....

This is the view out my bedroom window and my ever changing tree.

It's amazing how time flies and how things change... I look back at the past year. A LOT has happened. I have been able to do so so many things and have a lot of firsts and oh so many amazing experiences that have changed my life for the better. But the things I have done throughout the year is not what this blog post is about.... this is about change.

Some person, some where said some sort of philosophical phrase that the only thing which is constant is change... true to whoever said it. Change is constant, something we can always count on, and it usually brings something good along with it.

I look forward to change. Whether it be the change of a pair of socks, the change of apartments, or other big life changes. It has occurred to me that most things happen slowly, simply, and over time. I think this principle also applies to change. It is the little things which happen each day that have brought about the large life altering things in my life. It's the little decisions, little experiences, little influences, that have made me, me. I am grateful that the Lord allows things to change, and allows me to be influenced by change.

Everyone handles change different than the person next door. And well.... I like it. I see change as the opportunity to grow, improve, and develop more as an individual. The only thing which is as constant or more constant than change is my Savior Jesus Christ. He is constant and it is through Him that I can improve and become better.

So as I keep my two constants, change and my Savior, close I will hopefully only become better... I guess only time will tell right?

Here's to an life full of change... Bring it on!

A Murdock quote that fits well here: "Good things happen over time and prepare you for the great things that happen in a moment."

Also, my favorite picture is the second from the left on the bottom row. I'm missing the days of cloud filled blue skies and green grass.
