A is for Allow

I may have been the most rigid, non-flexible rule-following scheduled-to-the-minute person on the face of the planet at one point in my life.  God has used my marriage, my friends, my circles, service opportunities and really hard circumstance to change this one thing about me. I guess you could say I am a recovering control freak!

Allow a new thought or idea to come in.

Be willing to open and possibly even change your mind.  I promise this is possible. You too can survive a new and different thought!

I thought my life was going to “look” a certain way – long marriage, a house full of kids, a fulfilling career, world travels, grandkids to spoil – and instead we have no human kids and got to experience all kinds of unusual medical issues for our 23 years of marriage. Yet we are still standing!  Bring on the new ideas!!!!
