PROGRESS AND CHANGE, CHANGE AND PROGRESS





And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured (CHANGED) into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18 (Amplified Bible)

To move forward we must change. In order to advance in life in any area change is necessary. How do we grow or progress? We must change! As our children grow up, they CHANGE! We document it, take pictures, and videos of each milestone. We MEASURE their physical growth, we journal their emotional and intellectual maturation. We EXPECT them to change. But as they reach adulthood our expectations degrease or completely cease.
Mark Twain once said, "Most men die at 27, we just bury them at 72." Let’s not stop growing.

Imagine a world without the Internet, no email, texting tweetering, blogging etc. Yet I have friends who live in such a world. Think about a business or a church operating in the same manner as they did in the 1950’s. Yet on any given Sunday many churches are like time machines, you walk through the doors and are transported back to another time and place. If we are to be agents of change we must not be intimidated by change in our own lives. If we are to progress we must be progressive.
God calls us to growth. We must always prepare to go forward in our endeavors. We must never want to stay the same. Refuse to remain as you are. Always press for more, to become better. Never settle!.

Perhaps too radical, in a hurry but is time, not me. Parents,Cheap Snapback Hats friends, all good, like autumn leaves total want to leave branches. One day, only know the heart is sour, tears is salty, once mundane have, now is helpless crave. And I have already grown up and start a new life, a lot of things, the choice facing.
Like a person, waiting quietly, occurs, the society is in without your days, life, is also a kind of good. Fast graduated, will those of strewn at random time draw one end, perhaps, a day of a moment, we'll see. Winter continued long, and in constant in heart for peace,Gucci Bags moist. Say goodbye to the past, I learn to a person, a person's alone.
