Change.

Change sucks.

There. I've said it.

For years, I've spent my life preaching CHANGE IS GOOD! to my employees. totally bought it ot hte fact that change brings growth and  new opportunities. Embrace it! Love It!

Well now.

I'm tired of change.

I want things to stay predictable, steady and on course, I want to look at tomorrow, and not wonder what I'll have to rearrange. For the first time in my life, I just want to be complacent.

Sad. But true.

And because that just can't happen, change has again arrived at Cases do Living in Grace.

Changes that affect us in so many ways.

And so, besides trying to get everyone through the last 9 days of school, finals, summer plans, driving lessons, et al ... I've spent the last couple of days reworking sbudget, bills and plans for the future including evaluations at various clinics for transplant.

Realistically, Denver is out.  Mayo should be in by July. Phone calls are being made, plans changed.

I'm holding frustration at bay, barely, but my finger is in the dike.

More than ever, we are living in grace around here. Forcing oouselves to leave the details to God. Letting  let go of our plans,  and  trusting that His plans will work out.

It's a tough place to be. But, we are there and we will walk through. Crawl if we have to.

Reminding ourselves each step of the way that He is Jehovah Jirah - His Grace Is Sufficient For Me.

His ways are mysterious but trustworthy.

I'm praying.

In God's grace is the best place to be. My heart is with you as you deal with the changes. You do what you can and trust Him with the rest. He will provide every need. Praying for God's strength to infuse you and your family!

If there were any way at all I could help you get to Denver, I would. If this were happening four years ago, I'd still live there and y'all could stay with me.

I know for sure there are great things in store for you, Kelli. So many positive things have happened lately, it's not going to stop now.

He absolutely is, my friend. Today he showed me how he answers prayer. And He will most certainly have some surprises up His sleeve for you too. Believe!

Sweet Kelli,

My heart aches with the changes you are facing right now and I wish I was there to give you a huge hug and just sit over coffee and talk it all out until it is all out!!! Just as you said and your blog name is Living in Grace, I believe with all of my heart that if He has allowed you to arrive where you are at this time, He has a plan that is better than yours and we have to trust Him to bring good things to cover these changes. I will carry this burden with you and ask Him to meet every need that you have, and He knows them all Kelli. I consider you to be one of my "kids" and my heart wants to fix this for you. I can and will pray for peace for you and John and the kids as these changes are taking place. I am trusting God to keep His promises to you. I love you Kelli and pray for you to be healed!!

Love and Hugs, Laurie in Ca.
