Every wave.
Every fingerprint. Every snowflake.

Every moment.

Have you ever wondered why life always seems to be a moving target?

You just get the car you want and it feels like you need another one. Or you finally get your schedule situated around your kids’ naptime, and then their naptimes change!

This creative force of life, ever evolving, moving onto the next thing provides opportunities for learning and adjusting. These moving targets exist because we’re made in the image of a creative God. In his nature is creativity, and that nature has been implanted into us.

What does this mean for you?

3 tips to make uncertainty work for you:

Plan for change. Rather than planning for a lifestyle that you want to settle into (which you’d be bored with once you got there anyway), plan to handle change well. Search for strategies and skills to manage people and things coming in and out of your life.
Use it as an opportunity for healing. Change means that growth can happen. Trauma can be discarded. New life can take its place. We never need to be stuck in what was. We always have the opportunity to go somewhere new—and that can be beautiful.
Walk with God. Uncertainty is an opportunity to build a stronger relationship with God. Develop a habit of listening prayer to navigate turbulence with victory.

The truths of God and who he is, teach us how to bring heaven to earth and make life better and better. There’s always hope going forward—cling to that, press on, and grow into it. You’ve got this.

God said,

“Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.”

Isaiah 43:18,19
