constant change

"You can start a new life and still be you."

Don't be afraid of change. Someone told me today that you can have a fresh start in life but still be the same you. I can move away and go to college, have a fresh start and still be the same person. Don't forget that we don't have to be afraid of change. Things happen for a reason. Everything happens for a reason. In church today, our pastor said that "the bumps in life allow us to climb." It's so true! We couldn't get very far if we were climbing up a slippery mountain! Things are thrown at us for a reason, we experience change for a reason, it allows us to grow! We learn from it all and we can't move forward unless we learn how to move on. We have to learn how to deal with these things in our life. They help us. Don't be afraid. We'll make it.
