change and pushback

8/18/10 My breath prayer for the day is Psalm 71:1, "In you, O LORD, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame." Our congregation is living into a new vision statement, "Following One, Serving All." I am asking all of our program areas to consider how they will enact that. It involves change. That can lead to conflict, becoming uncomfortable, and resisting. I am starting to pick up on some of that pushback now. I am glad because it means we are moving beyond our comfort zones of doing what we have always done. It means we may need to work with "those" people who are different from us, and because of that difference we get scared. In midst of this change, I take refuge in God who sustains.

Love,
Lynn
