Braving the Storm of Unexpected Change

By Melanie Redd

God's Brave Women - Melanie's Story


It turns out I like a pretty steady routine without a whole lot of change. Of course, the change in the seasons is nice. I also like to mix up what I fix for dinner or what we watch on television. For the most part, however, I’m a person of habit.


Maybe you are too?


For example, I live by a regular schedule. My days start with prayer and devotions, coffee, and a walk outside. Then, I work for several hours, fix dinner, and hang out with my family and friends at night. Most of the time, my days are pretty ordinary. Weekends may vary a little, but our lives are rather predictable. However, over the past few months, a storm blew into our lives.


It was the unexpected storm of change!
