For Every Season...Change, Change, Change

Change is hard, whether good or bad, big change is never easy. There are always adjustments and adaptations to be made. I bring this up because we have had a big change (drum roll please)... Jonathan has quit his job with ADT, and is now full-time with ARF!

This is definitely a good thing, but nonetheless will be difficult. Jonathan has to get health insurance on his own, and we no longer have a 'standard' paycheck coming in from his side of the household. I know I will get used to this, but it still scares me, and I know next payday it will seem weird and intimidating to only have one direct deposit going in.

Another change that could be occuring, but is by no means set in stone, one of my closest friends and by far best shopping partner ever, could be interviewing and as result getting a job in North Carolina. This job would be a huge promotion for her, and would basically make all her professional dreams come true, but ultimately she would be leaving the area, and we could potentially grow apart.

It seems so selfish that in all the change going on in my life, I continually think about how the changes in my life will effect me, instead of the difficulty my friend or husband might be going through. Outwardly, I show my concern for them and their feelings, but inwardly my concern is protecting myself and the life I've built.

I feel like BIG change turns most people in selfish people, we feel like we have to concentrate on how the change will effect our lives and how we can prepare, and don't take the time to consider how that change will effect those around us.

I could be going through another big change in my life in the near future, but am not quite ready to talk openly about it on my blog, if it comes to pass, I'll let you know, otherwise, I will continue to ask for your prayers, and prayers for those around me, since I seem to be worrying much more about myself, than I am about them...
