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!
