Change Your View And Change Your World

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. 

The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

2 Corinthians 5:17

 

Status Quo.  We like that.  Status Quo quite literally means "all things remain the same as before."  We like that.

 

I have stated, before, that I am not exactly a fan of change.  But I need to clarify that.  I am not a fan of change that is made just so there will be change.  I am a huge fan of change that will benefit.  That doesn't mean the change will be easy, but the end result will be a vast improvement.

 

On November 19, 2015, I stepped on the scales at the gym and when the screaming of the scales ceased, I weighed in at 299 pounds.  On November 20, 2015, a plan was put in place to...you guessed it....change that.  Eating habits had to be changed, and I didn't like that in the least.  I would gladly exchange my salads for pizza in less than a heartbeat. I would GLADLY exchange all this water for more coffee or, dare I say it, an ice cold beer.  I would happily exchange the sweatiness from exercise for the comfort of my recliner.

 

Did I like making changes?  Stop laughing and look at my face! The answer would be a resounding "NO!".  But the result has been very beneficial!  Made it through Thanksgiving AND Christmas with only minor skirmishes with the dietary changes.  As a result, I am over 50 pounds lighter.  Still not fond of changes, but I do like the benefits.

 

You see, the point is this: Change is not a bad thing.  It still isn't easy because we are critters of habit.  But change that is beneficial is GOOD change!
