Change: become different, alter, adjust

If you know me, you know I'm all about spontaneity; but only if it fits into my schedule.

To find out that, after spending a year making this 'life changing' decision, there was CHANGE to my plans... I questioned my entire life plans. Luckily, I'm a believer, I rely on God and I have complete FAITH, so it wasn't as devastating as I thought, nor for as long as I thought it might be.

Changes to my plans involve my work... most of you know I have worked for myself as a business management consultant since 2004 and I LOVE what I do and feel very BLESSED to have my job. One change to my plans, which came about recently, is that I will be signing an employment agreement with one of my clients and stepping away from my business. This is a little scary in the respect that I will now have to answer to someone else, follow corporate rules and be 'at a desk' during 'normal business hours'. On the other hand... this is a client that I have known for 7 years, has had the same passion for energy and sustainability in the building industry as I have and has designed a product and system that I have been involved with for the last 6 years, so to be honest... I am EXTREMELY excited! This is a dream come true!!

Due to the near future change in my employment status, I have had to make adjustments to my 'life plan' of traveling the world. Originally, what was to be a 'year long, find myself, serve others, no plans, take it easy' type of journey, is now a 'short jaunts, serve others' mission! As I thought about the change that accepting this position was going to bring about to my personal goals, I assumed this was Gods way of telling me that I was making the wrong decision. About what, I didn't know! I questioned EVERYTHING that I had prayed about, thought about and talked about for the last year! I am normally amused by Gods sense of humor, but this was different... He was changing up all the plan I made.

Once I realized that these are really His plans... : ) It was much easier to accept the changes and move forward. I am extremely happy and feel very blessed to know that I will still be traveling, doing photography and serving others AND the changes I was not wanting to accept have actually made it possible to do more for others!

So... I'm ready for you life! Bring it on....
