I tried something new today…Sushi! A member of our church wanted to take me, and I saw this as a chance for a little adventure. At best, I’m a novice when it comes to sushi. I must admit…I was somewhat reluctant to take some of the things that were on my plate and put them into my mouth. However, once I did, I enjoyed it…somewhat.
At some level, we all have an adversity to change, especially BIG change. Big change is painful. But, big change is also unavoidable. One way to help us overcome this adversity to change is by introducing it into our personal lives in small doses. Try ordering a new item at a favorite restaurant… or better yet, try a new restaurant. Listen to a different style of music for a day. Read a new magazine. Change the furniture in your home or office. Small changes like this will stretch you a little, and help prepare you for the BIG change that is inevitable for all of us.
What recent changes have you made in your ministry? How can you mix things up a bit in your programming without overwhelming your kids or families?
Great post! Our move to the new facility will include many changes in our elementary ministry. We have made some of the changes here to lessen the “shock” when we arrive there. Kind of a preemptive move. I say shock because the changes are many.
By the way…I love sushi!
It’s one of the many great things in life.
