The Only Thing Certain Is Change

It has become evident to me during this fast that the only certain in my life is that everything is about to change! So that is my theme for today, I was fasting for change, and by golly, I'm going to get it!

The landscape of my bible studies is about to change. I learned tonight that both my singles group leaders (who happen to be dating, but lead two different groups) are probably stepping down, so I don't know who will lead the singles ministries. They don't consider themselves single anymore. I may be teaching a small group myself, I have an interview to do that soon. I probably will continue with my Tuesday night group for Session two, which is still about 6 weeks away. At one time I thought I would leave after this session and take a break to get back into my spin class, but I want to be in the next study with the same people who are in this one, so I probably will continue, as much as it kills me to miss spin.

I'm participating in a new hospitality ministry at my church, so starting very soon that will be one focus that I have. I'm very excited about it and looking forward to stepping into that new and exciting role. The little mini-study I'm doing at NorthPoint Church is winding down, and I would love to continue doing something there. I've been told they have a very active singles group, so I'd like to check that out. That's actually pretty high on my "to do" list. I really like some of the ladies in that group and hope those friendships continue. I also volunteered for a new project working with a nonprofit here in my community who wants me to do a full-scale PR program. So that will take up quite a bit of my time, but it's something I can put on my resume.

Somehow, I'm going to get a bike and take up riding again. I enjoy it so much. And somehow I'm going to get the rest of my weight off. God showed me during this fast that He values my body and wants me to take better notice of how I care for it and feed it, so that I can be healthy to do His work.

Of course, the job situation is still fluid. So that will be a major life change. I also do feel like a relationship is on the horizon for me. Don't know when that will be, perhaps I will meet someone through some of these ministries I'm taking on.

God has done major work in my heart, on my emotions, and in re-aligning the parts of me that were off. It took this fast, on top of months of hard work, to complete the task. Now, He wants me to step out in ministry. I've soaked in, taken in, corrected, studied, prayed, praised to become much closer to the woman He desires me to be. And now it's time to take one giant leap of faith and see what I might jump into.
