Friends

It's good to have a group of friends you can depend on.

Right now, my close group of friends is going through difficult issues -- a sibling who is dying to cancer, a son being deployed to Iraq, a child's upcoming job loss due to company relocation.

If you don't have a close group of friends to support you at such times, how can you handle the pain and stress and frustration that life seems to bring.

This seems to be a season of change. I know of lots of resignations, position changes, and general life changes. I guess that is just life!

But with change and loss comes new opportunity! People who can bring in new enthusiasm and ideas, people who step up to a new task and stretch their conceptions of their limitations, people who can use their gifts and talents in new opportunities that arise.

With God's help, I will seek to embrace the change and seek to involve myself and encourage others in opportunities for ministry!

Seems like it's been a pretty long season, too! I'll pray for you as you seek those opportunities.
