Open Tea

Writer's picture: T’s TruthT’s Truth

How open are you to changes in life? When things don’t go as planned or when people don’t get the memo they are supposed to be playing a certain role in your life, how do you respond? I’m sure I’m not the first to tell you that life an absolutely suck… just when you have it all planned out; all your plans go left, right, up, down… every way except the way that you expected. Are you open to life’s changes mid-stream?

I had my life all planned out… I wanted to have graduated college, be married, and have my first baby by 25. I planned to work as a recruiter for a large company where I would travel a few times a month and have friends at work with whom I would go to happy hours with weekly. Life was going to be great! It was a given (in my mind) that I would have the perfect marriage, to the perfect man, who knew how to love me perfectly. I would have the preverbal “perfect life”. Girl bye…. What a joke right?

Now don’t get me wrong, my life has been amazing. I did obtain both an undergraduate and graduate degree, I experienced an amazing love filled marriage, I have two beautiful healthy children, not only do I recruit, but I’m pretty much a one-woman HR department working for my family business. Things may not have gone exactly the way I planned, but I was open to the changes that came along in life and for that some aspects have turned out better than I could’ve planned for.

My life and the lives of the people in my family have been rocked by the decisions that my husband I have made throughout the course of our marriage. There have been times when it seemed impossible to restore or reconcile our union. Now whether it will or not still remains to be seen but being open to change is the first step. We have a long way to go, but we are both open to figuring out how to make it work.

Now being open doesn’t mean that you go with any and everything. What is does mean though, is that you recognize that sometimes the plans you have aren’t those that the Lord has for you. You have to be discerning in what direction you move in and be open to change if necessary. Life isn’t a fairytale, there is no guidebook to which way we should move in every area of our lives. We have to know when to stick to our guns and when to be open to a change in our plans.

I’ve heard time and time again that the one constant in life is change. Yeah it sucks when things don’t go the way you planned, but what if your plan wasn’t the right plan, the plan that God has for you? Being open to the changes in life is the best thing that you can do. Learning how to be open to what God has for you, understanding that he’s there just waiting for you to move can create all kinds of possibilities that wouldn’t otherwise be possible without you being open to taking that first step.


Its up to you sis.... are you open to change?
