Life changes constantly. Plans are made then adjustments must be made as health, finances or other changes happen.
Change doesn’t have to be scary or disappointing because of three facts that are unchangeable.
- God never changes. God is always loving, faithful and in control. We look to God in faith and obedience as we walk and talk with Him.

28 And we know that God causes everything to work together[a] for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

He has a plan and purpose for every happening in our life and will use it for good! We depend on the Holy Spirit to be with us and lead us through each day of our lives and every change in our lives.
