No more fun @ the Y-M-C-A

I was a brunette, but for only 4 days. I'm back to sort of being a blonde. I was wanting a change, I felt like I was in a rut.
Change.

Why is change so hard for us? We are such creatures of habit. This world is consistently changing all around us, but we put on blinders and force things not to change or we try to change things hoping to make it better than before, hence my hair. But, most times we end up messing everything up! I am learning how little control I have over my life, and at the same time how much there is out there for me to accomplish. I am learning the world will slip on by me if I don't get out there and live! I desire to be used for the purpose I was created to be used- to love God, to love People, to live the Gospel.

This world is a broken place. Things happen and we don't understand why, people do things that don't make sense. I have a friend who was working for the YMCA in Lake Charles. The board recently called all of the programs off at the Y and let him go as well as demoting his boss. Good things were going on at the Y, children were being taught Christian principles, they were getting to play on sports teams and learning valuable character building lessons. They were loved and accepted. It's a shame all this had to come to an end. Hopefully one day the YMCA in Lake Charles will have a rebirth and will be a thriving community center, from the looks of things though, this may only be in our dreams.

So, what now? We live, we thrive, we love.
