If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Does your mind immediately go to those physical attributes you wish were different? There's two kinds of those, of course. The kind God knit together in secret places and before time…and the kind you helped him with. I suppose both can be changed but that likely comes with a cost. Pain…money…time.
Is it worth it?
Or do you think of personality or habits or tendencies or addictions?
Maybe your first thought is "past," you wish you could change your past. Perhaps you dream about changing someone else! Isn't that something everyone is warned about before marriage–if you think you'll be able to change your partner after the wedding you're deluded?!
Or maybe you think BIG and you want to change the world. Or you think small and you want to change the color of your hair.
What is the one thing you often imagine changing?
Think about it…isn't there something you've wanted to change for years? As long as you can remember?
So, I can't help but ask you (and I'm asking myself, too). . .

Written in response to Lisa Jo's 5-Minute Friday prompt; this week's them: Change. Had I not been on a time limit this would have really been fun to explore and write well. Instead, you get a simple post with a simple question that BEGS you to answer.
Hi Robin,
I would like to change my thinking, which is what I posted about…the idea of dreams…Thanks for asking. What would you like to change?
Linked up behind you at Lisa-Jo’s …nice to meet you 🙂
SO many changes in life – and yes, so many things I wish I could change – yet so thankful God is in control of it ALL !
Thank you for sharing!
When I think about what I want to change the list goes on and on. But you know, I think I don’t do it because I’m afraid. What if I try and it doesn’t happen? After reading this though I’m thinking why not try?
Thought provoking post.
I totally went over the time limit with my post! I justify it saying it wasn’t finished 🙂 But I love your challenge here! And you’re right, we don’t have to sit around wishing we could change something about ourselves, we can step out in faith, relying on the Lord, and do it! That’s something I am learning to do even as I blog. Thanks for sharing!
Its interesting to note in the past week I have been completely fired up for change for the first time since my brother died five years ago. I didn’t realize until now how heavily his death – and my profound grief – stayed and lingered this long.
I enjoy the joy I read in your words. Great to find you today from Five Minute Friday!
