I'm thankful for change.  If God had not changed me I would not be on MyChurch writing poetry, encouraging , praying and giving hope to someome that may be on the same journey as I.  My change is having others bless me  and haveing an opened heart to receive it. 
     God's major change in me is a more loving and lovable Woman of God.  I just got finish listen to Joyce Myers on TV and she preached about change, how divine.

     The biggest change in my life today is starting over with nothing but with everything.  God's favor and His faithfulness, His Love and His Promise all have a different meaning in my life and that's an AMAZING CHANGE.

Praise God, Terry!! An awesome testimony is building!

Crystal, sometimes change is CONFUSING!! I admit it! But patience can come if we are willing to submit to God's Spirit in us! Understanding can come too, if we are willing to wait for it. :-)

Amen Todd.

Stu, you are right bro. (It seems like you are trying to say something more?)

Thanks to everyone for reading. We are blessed here! Amen? Will we let the Deceiver convince us otherwise??

Works in progress. Us and the site! lol

I had to ask for a couple things b/c you have not b/c you ask not, but if they don't do them, no biggy---I'll still be here.  I feel rather sorry for those who are doing this site b/c we seem to foam at the mouth whenever they change things--and some don't, but love it.  So the conclusion?  You can't please everyone, honey! lol  Whatever. I adjust to the changes.

May I present the analogy of the catipillar and the butterfly?  What about the  morula, blastula, etc. giving rise to the embryo (Human),  infant, toddler to adult?  Change is not only good, it is imperative!

(behind on comments, oh dear!)

Toni, we will be there! And it is still strange not seeing you guys at church!  I also agree w/your thoughts on change. :-)

Megan (WolfChild)- I will take a look at it.

Joey...all that stuff! :-)

Panda, Mary(stovall2003), Penny(JoyfulServant), Liz .... THANK YOU for letting me know you read and enjoyed :-)

Ken, don't know what a blastula is, or a morula...but that's ok, I get what you're saying about change.  And even when we don't think we're changing, we're changing (growing older). Right? Can't stop changing!

Teri, wonderful, wonderful comment! God's leading is gentle, sometimes subtle, like the shepherd's leading of a baby lamb. (Actually I don't have a clue how a shepherd leads a baby lamb, but it seems like it should be gentle, doesn't it?)

Anyway, great comment, thanks!!

Thanks Jade!

Bless you Stevie. Changes schmanges. YOU are what brings me back to MyChurch! :-)

Amen Panda!!

Charity (aka ..Scream_Like...), me too!!  I've thought that so many times...funny you should mention it, the more we change the more we see the need for more... Glad you commented!

Thanks Barb, glad you were blessed!

once again Mike strikes a nice balance.  Change is often good even when it hurts as it sometimes does when God is prompting the change in us.

Juanita....I trust you as well, which makes you a wonderful sounding board. :)  These last few comments tonight will be the last MyChurch hears from me for a solid week. I'll miss the place in a big way!

Glenn, always love hearing from you, whether a blog comment, or just an update about your family, life, etc. God bless you bro!

So Mike, you'll have to correct me when you get back (unless you've changed)

What you are saying is

"Change is good.  Down with stars!" :)

(I think that deserves a star!)

Recently I attended a seminar for 25 days and the summary of the seminar was the following

1. Share the Gospel

2. Appeal for a verdict when you are sharing the Gospel

3. Have a shift in your paradigm ( have a change in your view for a particular solution)

I think what mychurch team tried to do here is the same. So though I dont like to have changes, it is agreed that we must be open to new ideas and changes.

I congratulate the mychurch team for the changes and I also congratulate the users for adapting to the changes.

Great read there Mike. I am not to sure if I fully like the changes here or not, but it seems like we are going to have to learn to just deal with it so to speak, I know that it will be a pain in the rear, but what else can be done?  I sometimes wonder if change is a good thing or not, but then again I wouldn't be who I am today without the changes that I've had in my life time.  I am hoping that they will bring back the memo's or some sort of change like it, because I've noticed as I am certain that you have that people use it for non-prayer reasons, was it put there for that reason, I doubt it and am hoping that it will become something better, if you know what I mean. Longest blog comment from me to date, wow.

PS I hope that mychurch doesn't turn into a dating site, blah. 

Megan, GREAT comment! And I'm honored to have rec'd your longest comment. :-)

(and I agree, this better not become a dating site, lol!)

Hey Rag! I too applaud the adapters!

Thanks Brenda, and Marcella!  Glad you were blessed.

Mike (Norm), thanks bro! And uh, no, I happen to like stars. AND I especially like GIVING them....as you have experienced a few times. ;-)
