Resilience # 7
June 27, 2023
Resilient people are flexible. Stuff happens. They can change. It’s not always easy to adapt to changed relationships, income, health, and many are unexpected and unwanted. In my book Where Do I Go From Here: Bold Living After Unwanted Change, I talk about how God helps us walk through these. Support from others. Willingness to let go of our routine.
Imagine if your income dropped, but you did not change your spending plan. Debt and devastation ahead.
What if you decide to ignore that reality. Denial does not change the facts, or prevent a necessary outcome by denying the facts.
First step: Pray. Ask and listen. We are prone to advise God of our desired outcome, our way. He is smarter and has more and better options for us. While we wait, be flexible. Don’t stay stuck. God has a better plan.
