Friends, are you dealing with a big change in your life, that you feel is preventing you from doing what you love? Don’t be afraid of change, as it could actually free you up to do the things in life that matter the most.

Inspired by “change”

I remember when Paul and I first were married, how I prayed that my life would be open to more hospitality. Little did I know …

I often think about how scary it was for me, after working in dialysis for 27 years, to have my job come to an end. This is truly what pushed me into the blogging world full time.

But it’s true: Change is one of God’s greatest gifts, and most useful tools. If it weren’t for the downsizing that took place in my job, over 10 years ago, I’d never be where I am today. God knew.

This change impacted me, and my family, in great ways: To be in the kitchen more, cooking, trying new recipes, inviting people over to dinner, sharing my heart on hospitality, living it, breathing it … eventually moving, traveling, and sharing my gifts with others. I never would have dreamt…..

Change can pave the way …

Change can pave the way to many blessings, but we have to have an open heart. It can be painful at first, but in the end it brings us to where we are supposed to be.

Always inspired by Shauna Niequist: “This is what I’ve come to believe about change: it’s good, in the way that childbirth is good, and heartbreak is good, and failure is good. By that I mean that it’s incredibly painful, exponentially more so if you fight it, and also that it has the potential to open you up, to open life up, to deliver you right into the palm of God’s hand, which is where you wanted to be all long, except that you were too busy pushing and pulling your life into exactly what you thought it should be.”

If you want to practice hospitality more, like I did, start small.

Get in the kitchen and try new recipes

Get in the kitchen and start cooking. Maybe it’s soup, or bread for the neighbors, or you say “yes” to bringing meals through a meal train.

Try new recipes on your family if you are reluctant to actually invite people in.

Get comfortable in your own skin, with easy recipes that you feel confident about.

Delicious and easy, I’d love to hear about any change that is happening in your life, and how it’s affected you, or inspired you to do what you really love?
