Hold On!!!

Have you ever been in an uncomfortable position? Chances are if you are old enough to read this post, the answer is yes. I have found myself in situations where I have not been in complete control, or I could not predict the outcome. Not in long distant history but surprisingly enough, recently, since I've been a Christian. Yes. Even though I know that GOD is in control and sometimes these situations come to present an opportunity for change and growth.

In the past I have fought change and growth using such ineffective tools as my own understanding and strength. lol

Recognizing your own strength and applying the understanding that time and experience has provided is not a bad thing, if it is done "in order".

I have found that any change in my life that comes from God is good for me even if it is kinda scary, and growth is sometimes painful but necessary. So why fight it?
Instead, I have learned to seek His will, follow His way, and HOLD ON for the ride. I would rather have temporary discomfort than being simply sufficient for eternity.
HOLD ON!!!
