I’ve had something in the works for a little while now, and today I’d like to invite you along.

When change I don’t want and didn’t ask for comes into my life, it can bring a whole lot of dread. But the O.C. (Oswald Chambers) tells us, “Faith in many a one falters when the apprehensions come; they forget the meaning of God’s say-so, forget to take a deep breath spiritually. The only way to get the dread taken out of us is to listen to God’s say-so.”

I want to put myself in the path of God’s say-so.

So, to that end, I invite you to follow my new account @girlmeetschange. It’ll be a place where you and I can stand on the path of God’s say-so, take a deep breath spiritually, and let our anxiety over change meets the good purposes found within it. #girlmeetschange

Today, September 11th, I think back to 19 years ago when my family and I lived on Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, NM. I sensed, along with my fellow military neighbors and friends, that the changes we encountered that day were only the beginning.

It was one of those times—much like 2020 itself—that became a line of demarcation denoting before and after. After 9/11, much changed.

Praying for all who lost loved ones on that heartbreaking day, and praying for all our first responders who continually move toward danger with no guarantee of outcomes. (Who do so even today as they fight terrible fires across the West.) May Jesus, the only One whose presence doesn't change across all the “before and afters” of life, be close to all. Alongside the loss, may we remember our collective unity from that time as we continue to pray for our nation.
