Keep The Change

This has nothing to do with the stuff I'm about to write but, I got pulled over for the first time today! Speeding? Nope! Apparently I have blue lights in my side mirrors and it's illegal to have them! The police man was very nice and I wasn't freaked out like I expected to be my first time! haha I called my dad to brag as I drove away! Now back to the real point of this...


As I have written in previous blogs, a lot of changes have been going on in my life. I now live on my own, work, am in college and love every bit of it. My dad is now a chaplain in the Army, my brother is soon to be in the Air Force and my parents are about to move 2,500 miles away to Washington State.


As I have watched my dad and brother train and condition for their dreams, I watch in amazement at their courage, strength and love for the family and country. I couldn't be more proud of them. When I see an American flag these days, it's not just a flag anymore, it represents my dads encouraging and wise words, my brothers love and laughter and the courage, strength and love for their family and country. Seeing my military I.D in my wallet makes me burst with pride and puts a smile on my face but these are not the only changes that have changed my life...
The changes I have seen in my brother are like nothing I have ever seen. His joy is contagious because of his love for the Lord. His heart and mind are at peace because he finally knows that he is doing exactly what the Lord would have for him to do. His love is deeper and his smile is bigger. My dad has also undergone the same changes. The symptoms of the Lord's calling are incredible! It's wonderful to see how my family as a whole has changed and grown through this experience as well. We hug more, we cherish each other more, we laugh together more,we enjoy each other more and we understand each other more!






Some people say that they hate change. A lot has changed in the world I live in lately, but I think I'll keep the change.
