Paradigm Shifts

Romans 12:1-2
I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.


In my life I am feeling the need to make a change. Changing is difficult but necessary in seasons of life. It began with my divorce and continued in my reading of T.D.Jakes new book Repositioning Yourself. According to a website, one should think about a paradigm shift "as a change from one way of thinking to another. It's a revolution, a transformation, a sort of metamorphosis. It just does not happen, but rather it is driven by agents of change" (Kuhn, 1962). These agents of change create an atmosphere where by it is not a matter of how but when. For myself, I feel a pull in my heart to put away "childish things" and mature to a higher level in God. God can and will set the stage of change. It is up to each of us to take on more of Him and less of ourselves. I honestly feel a need to shift. I cannot go on the same way.
