Life Changes


Welcome to life changes, a place to explore the changes life brings and ways to bring about positive changes. Sometimes we can control change, other times it is thrust upon us. Either way, we have choices. We can choose how to change our lives, and we can choose what to do with the changes we can’t control.

Change is an ongoing process. We are never done, never complete. We continue to grow and change throughout our lives. While alive, we change, rather we want to or not. So the changes may as well be positive and may as well be controlled, to a certain extent. If change is going to happen anyway, why not influence those changes?

Many ideas, people, and circumstances have influenced my life, bringing about changes and encouraging me to make changes. Nothing, no one, has affected me more than my Christian faith, so you will find an abundance of biblical influence throughout our exploration of life changes, especially in the Spiritual Journey section of the Life Changes Website.
