As with any sort of change there are things you like about something new and different and things you don't like. Here's my lists....
Top 5 Great Things About Being New
1. Brand new things to explore like restaurants, parks, museums, and wonders of nature.
2. New challenges in work & ministry with a fresh opportunity to begin anew with a people.
3. Opportunity to make new memories.
4. Chance to make new friends and meet new, amazing people.
5. The change and transition itself are an opportunity to sink deeper into love with our God in Christ,.
Top 5 Not So Great Things About Being New
2. Grieving the lost comfort of familiar friends and family.
3. New friends and acquaintances have forgotten what it feels like to be new... and therefore they are not as welcoming as they think they are being because everything for them has stayed the same.
4. Lots of effort is needed to find everything- toilet paper to vet, eye doctor to dry cleaner, and book store to mall!
5. Balancing the creation of new friends while keeping up with previous friends.
What would you put on your lists?
