New Horizons ~ Are You Fearing Change?
Change is a subject that much is written about and it’s
always interesting and helpful to get another perspective.
You never know what piece that someone has written is going to be the one
that helps you in that season when you are having fears of making changes.
I would like to share a piece that I came across today that
was written by Meg Mangan of New South Wales, Australia.
Children have fun blowing the seeds off dandelions
and watching them float away in all directions.
Sometimes the children are disappointed when the fun is over;
they want the heads back in one piece so they can experience it all again.
But no amount of glue could put a dandelion
together again in the way it was created.
This dispersal of the dandelion head occurs for a reason:
it maximizes the chances of one of the seeds finding a
suitable place to set down roots and continue the life cycle.
The simple act of letting go and allowing the forces of life
to propel it is an integral part of the life process for dandelions.
When life blows us in a new directions or propels
us into a new stage, we often become uneasy.
We may try to cling to the familiar rather than holding on
tightly to life and allowing change to carry us along new paths.
Fear of the unknown overwhelms many of us,
preventing us from enjoying life in all its abundance.
However, God calls us toward new horizons, new adventures, and new paths.
We may feel at times as if we are being blown apart, just like the dandelion head.
As your paths change, trust and seek guidance ….
Life’s winds blow us to new places and toward new growth!
Go and Grow!
