Dealing With Changes: Seeking Light in a Dark World

Blogger did it again. They changed it to the new setting, but thankfully I was able to switch it back to the legacy setting. Facebook is doing the same thing. They seem to think that bigger screens are better, but since I work on a small screen those big screens really "mess" things up. Yes, I do know that some day soon I won't have the option to switch back to the legacy screens. It is really frustrating though because I can't get the whole screen and have to keep reducing resolution in order to get all the buttons I need to function...sigh.

I am doing better with accepting some changes. I have been working on a few ways to get some money in house without compromising my personal information. I haven't had much luck. Many of the ways I've researched require equipment I don't have or think that you are an internet shopaholic. Sigh... I am dealing with the changes I've been forced to make as best I can.

I am grateful for this platform. It helps me to seek light in a dark world when I can concentrate on God's word. It also helps me when I get rid of the "poor me" attitude that I've been dragging around for far too long. It isn't fair, and is probably a large part of why I'm still in the financial situation I've been in for a very long time. I have been blessed by family and friends who have helped me survive, but I'm looking to thrive and grow.

Changes can be good. This dark world tends to put a dark shadow on change. It distorts change when you really just want to see that light and the stability it brings. I admittedly have never really adapted to change well. There have only been a few times that I welcomed changes. I would gladly forfeit the radical changes that have taken place over this past five months. I long for stability. I find my stability in the Lord and in his word.

I think we are all still adjusting in some ways. I still pray every night that the masks will go away and everyone will pull off their masks. I also pray that God intervenes and the vaccine will go away...and that the President will forget that he ever suggested using the military to enforce the vaccine on people. Yes, I do remember hearing this, and his recent actions have sent a chill up my spine. I admit that I really don't know what I'm going to do. I am still seeking light in this dark world.

It is hard to trust God. I admit that. Yet he has proven time and time again that he is trustworthy. I don't have to worry as I deal with changes. He is the Light of the World.
