...no one can help you with the biggest challenge—the challenge of letting go of the old before you can grab hold of the new. That’s the scary part of making any change, and it is yours alone to do. It’s usually the point where we beat a hasty retreat back to what “is,” thinking that the certainty of misery is better than the misery of uncertainty. At some point we have to step into, and be suspended in, the void between releasing the old and embracing the new. The proverbial “leap of faith” has to be taken.

A Change Will Do You Good
I found a nice little article on change yesterday at MSN.com. I can't attribute it to anyone since there was no byline, but I thought it was worth thinking about and, therefore, worth passing along to my part of the internet void. And, since it's almost a new year (and since after the week I've had, I'm considering changing my career to goat herder), I thought everyone might benefit.

I like to think that God lets us stand on his finger tip durring these times. I wish i could insert the very strong visual that is in my mind right now. Because when we are balancing on the finger tip of God we are actually the most secure than when we are holding on to anything else.
oh yeah, and my big lesson of last year stems from what i believe is false in this article, "and it is yours alone to do."
I can't do anything alone. I need help.
I need the ground to walk on, I need the tree to lean against.
