Steadfastness in Times of Change

When change arrives, it always brings with it a life lesson. It forces us to make a choice -- we can pivot in trust toward hope or turn in fear toward bitterness. Trust will teach us the lesson and usher us into a new level of strength. Fear will blind us to the truth and force us to repeat the lesson again and again. In a world that is becoming more and more time-starved, high-pressured, and completely impersonal, we can be a steadfast, but gentle resistance against the cultural grain and help others in times of struggle, change, and pain.
