You have to do what you have to do, even if it means leaving your comfort zone behind.

I expect that you have adapted well to many significant changes while a few were challenging to endure. By God’s grace we each transitioned into an adopted child of God and HE is sanctifying us Steven.
I pray that you and I respond quickly to the LORD’s prompting and that we obey HIS guidance unflinchingly, my brother-in-Christ 1SG Steven Imerman.
Thank you, LORD for YOUR Word. You made it clear that “Nicodemus… came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” [John 3: 2-3 NASB]
I lift each of YOUR adopted son and daughter to YOU dear God. I pray that YOU enable each one of us to adapt as quickly as possible to the changes we face and will soon face, with grace. I pray that YOU bless us with an increase in peace to endure the coming storms. I pray that YOU draw people towards YOU through our demonstrated faith in YOU.
I lift YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are in hospice, hospitalized, bed-ridden, disabled, grief-stricken and those who are contagious to YOU. I pray that YOU empower them and those caring for to adapt as quickly as possible to changes in protocol, medication and treatment.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Saturday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good Saturday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs I see we are both up early today.
The ability to adapt to change is critical for our advancement and our survival. Our environment changes so rapidly that those who cannot adapt quickly fall behind. It's an important skill and one that the military values. I find the civilian world does too but they don't have any idea of how to teach or encourage it in their employees. In the military we often put people in positions that require "out of the box" thinking to push them to adapt to changing circumstances. I find myself going back to those lessons over and over again, which is why I get called a lot for situations where much is unknown or fluid.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Up early today and getting ready for the month American Legion Rider's Meeting and breakfast this morning Charlie. It's going to in the low 70's today, so getting the big Harley out of the garage and riding today. Love the quotes you rpesented today on "adapt" and your thoughts on today's service members and their ability to adapt versus the civilian world. I think lessons can be learn by both actually. Give our best to Tom and enjoy this weekend.
