Change

One thing I have been learning about myself so far in this internship is that I am fairly resistive to change. I really like my routines and a familiar environment. It does take me a while to get used to a new situation. I think it takes me longer to get used to things then I realize, but I can put those thoughts to the back of mind not too badly and get on with what needs doing. Fortunately I don't seem to be someone who stays in the zone of not being happy with the new situation. I do adapt and do get used to the new environment, to the point of almost total comfort with it. Though the first little bit of the change is really hard for me. I guess this is something that I will have to continually deal with if I choose this life. I think I have never really had to deal with it too much before because I get involved in things that are long term and I have lived in the same place for a really long time. I'm going into a period of my life that is going to be full of changes, so I won't really be able to escape this part of myself, so I guess it'll be a great time to grow. Though whenever this happens I never get too bad, because in the end, I always know that God has gone before me and is with me currently, all of these periods are just great times to remember the protection and guidance that I receive from Him.

Hey Matt,

I can really relate to this. The first few moments are usually the toughest and then it gets easier. And I grew up with almost constant change but still find it a challenge. This internhsip has especially made that obvious.
