Changes can make you happy

Change is not easy. I have been through many changes in the last six months. I never thought I would come thru them. I am not one to say yeah! another change. But I am reminded of Romans 8:28 "All things work together for good to them that love God..." Now that I am in the middle of these changes, I can definitely say I am happier than I have been in a very long time.
Life brings us many changes-loss of jobs,loss of loved ones,loss of friends, loss of health, and on and on. I see now how God uses changes to bring bigger and better things in our lives. I knew these things before,but sometimes you have to experience them to really know it. I love what the Lord is doing in my life and how I am learning to trust him for my needs. He brings a smile to my face for the littlest things. Thank you God for changes. How have you accepted changes in your life?

Trying new things

I have been encouraged lately to try things I have never tried before. Several people have said
"Nothing ventured, Nothing gained." I watched "Julie & Julia" tonight with some friends. The main character creates a blog. Why couldn't I ? I love to write, but never took the iniatiative. You never know what you say to person can make such an impact. As I told a friend recently, I was always afraid to write because of grammar or punctuation. My father was an English teacher and I tend to think, what would he think of this .
I think I like to write so much because I have a love of books. I would love to create something that other people would be interested in reading. Writing is the biggest thing I would love to try at this point in my life. Words can be fun. Words can encourage and make you think. They can make you laugh or cry.
What would you like to try ?
