things can change

Right now the weather is changing as I write. It was warm earlier today and now it's freezing. They are saying it might even snow (right). Yesterday they were saying it wasn't even going to rain. Things change and they change fast. The wind blows and we can't see it but we can feel it.
The Spirit of God can change things up quickly. What are some of the things we should keep in mind as things happen all around us?

1. Don't let change make you paranoid. Just because things change it does not mean the sky is falling.
2. Don't let change change what you know is your mission. Keep focused on loving God and serving people.
3. Don't let change put you on the defensive with people. People are going through the same things you are. As a leader point out the change and help every one make the adjustments.
