Change! It’s either a word we cringe at or embrace. But, no matter how you may handle change, the ultimate truth is that change is inevitable in this life. Over the past several months, I have been on a very life-changing journey. Although this journey began well before that, I have definitely seen it most clearly in recent months.

It’s a couple of weeks into the New Year. If you’re like “most people” you made a bunch of resolutions leading into 2012, but you’re probably just hanging on by a thread by now.

You might have said, That’s just a silly tradition, or I’m already doing...
