A Change in the Making

I have been in a spiritual dry place for the last few months.  I wasn't even aware of it until I finished Beth Moore's Living Beyond Yourself and the book Made to Crave by Lisa TerKeurst.  I knew something was up when I finished these books and was feeling the overwhelming sense that something needed to change, something needed to happen to push me forward.  My only problem was I didn't know what that something was.  I didn't know even where to begin.  So, I did what any other girl would do; I cried.  I cried in quiet moments that were for God. I cried because I knew he would hear me and he knew my words when I did not.  I cried.


And then, amidst tears, I heard his voice.  Soft, loving, and gentle telling me I needed to share and to seek help for me to find my somethings.  At first, I denied it for several weeks; I mean who really likes to admit they need help but then I heard him again.  It was still loving and gentle telling me I needed to change and grow and I needed to talk through some issues to find my something. 


So, I called.  I called and made an appointment with a Christian counselor.  I have met with her twice and we have named several of my somethings : shame and self image.  I am dealing with these somethings by using God's truths. 


Not long after I made the call to the counselor I was walking and heard a song by Addison Road called "Change in the Making."  I cried (this time happy tears) because this song was me, well, and you too.  We are all a change in the making.  We are all trying to be a better version for the sake of Christ.  We are all under construction.  I love that.  I mean really love that!  I am forever grateful that we have a Heavenly Father who is loving, gentle, and extremely patient to making me who He wants me to be.

So, this is Sarah under construction (but still with a smile) :) My pride is being broken and He is chipping away at what I don't need. I am a change in the making. 

How are you changing? What is God chipping away in you?
