Life change

Change is unsettling, but it can be managed positively.

There are things that I can control and probably a lot more that I cannot. For things that I can, I need to put in the effort to prepare them the best I can.

For things that I cannot, I want to know the signs or data points that tell me how things will progress. And then I need to figure out how to deal with them. If A, then B. If X, then Y. That sort of thing.

Of course, unplanned and unexpected situation can arise and ruin all my preparations. That is expected. For these kind of situations, I try to remind myself: What is the worst thing that can happen?

Most of the time, it is not so bad as I fear. And whatever that worst thing is, it is important that I remember: God has forgiven my sins through Jesus and I am good with God.
