Change

"Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." – Romans 12:2 (NLT)

My brother-in-law, Rick, was caught up in the government takeover of General Motors, and subsequently took the buyout.  After 30+ years, he was jobless, angry and perhaps a little bitter.  Reflecting on his bitterness, Rick says, the true source of his outrage was the loss of status that came with his career.  

I really admire Rick for what he did next:  At the age of 50, he went back to college to become a nurse. 

Today Rick does not have a job, but a life's mission – helping people in need.  His anger has given way to a fire, a passion that now burns within.  Rick's new life of serving, is now serving a much greater purpose. And everyday, he sees his reward in the eyes of those he comforts. In taking away Rick's 30-year career, God forced the extraordinary change in Rick's life. A change that he now embraces.  

I'm very proud of you bro!
