it's Nita.

Years ago, God spoke two phrases to me regarding change and growth.

1. “When God says go, it’s for your good.”

2. “Go where you know that you’ll get what you need to grow.”

As I enter a transitional phase of my life, these words couldn’t be more timely. It is easy to settle into norms and comforts with no thought to change or moving. But God is always calling us to grow. Growth requires change. Change that is transformational will shift us out of our comfort zone.

The simple truth is that God uses change to grow and mature us.

When I look back over my life and reflect on moments of transition, I can see the faithfulness of God. I won’t say I was fully confident and without uncertainty every step of the way, but I know that even in the midst of not knowing the end result… I was never alone in the journey.

I pray you have the courage to go into what God is calling you! Every step in faith is obedience. Perhaps your call to change is developing a new habit like a commitment to exercise, moving cross country, starting a new job or entering into a new life role like parenthood or marriage. Whatever it may be God will be with you every step of the way. The beautiful thing about change with God is that you are never called to do it on your own.

Love always,
