Change

What does it take for us to change?
We all give a mental nod to the fact that we should change and grow and mature.
But what does that look like? How quickly does it happen? What does it take?
Doesn't God work through those closest to us - our spouse & kids & close friends - to show us why and how to change? How about sermons and the Bible and other books and just listening to the voice of God?
If so, do we hear these promptings, and do we really respond to them?
I think the process of change is a journey, fast or slow, that begins with an acknowledgement that we need to change - that we haven't arrived at perfection. Sometimes this feels like eating humble pie, but that's ok. A good dose of humility is like nitrous - acts like a catalyst to speed the transformation.
Funny thing is, once the transformation occurs, we can't believe how naive we were to resist the change.
I need to embrace change.
