Sometimes you write something that comes from the heart and you don't give it much thought. Then later when you read it back to yourself, it has a profound affect.
    That happened to me last week. In the CR Step Study I am currently leading we are in book three and the lesson is ADMIT. The question was about change and the difference between recognizing the need for change and accepting the change. As I read my answer during our session, I realized it was one of those moment.

    Here is what I wrote: " Seeing the need for change is a first step, a tentative step. Seeing and acknowledging the need is not the same as making the change. Seeing the need is like standing in the middle of a thunderstorm and knowing I should take cover but not moving. Being entirely ready to accept positive change means I am no longer procrastinating. I'm not even trying to do it myself. I'm reaching my hands up and accepting the change, allowing God to guide me out of that storm and into His shelter!"
