More on change
Change - there's that 'nasty' word again. I know, I know - you probably don't want to talk about it and you probably don't want to hear about it either but, here's the deal....Change is, in fact, a good thing....even when it seems like it isn't.
What I've found to be true is that God/the Universe (or whatever you prefer to call It) is ALWAYS (and, yes I do mean ALWAYS) working for our good. I don't mean some of the time, or when we do something right by following some crazy set of rules, or when God feels like working on our behalf - I mean God is continually working FOR us every blessed second of every blessed day - NO MATTER WHAT - and now matter HOW it may seem on the surface.
Sometimes we're in a situation or something 'happens to us' and we think, 'How can this possibly be serving me right now?' Or, 'How is it possible that this will EVER serve me in any way?' We're in so much pain that we can't even imagine how this situation might turn out for the best. But, tell me, have you ever (honestly) been in the middle of something that felt like the end of the world
but later you found out that the whole thing really was for the best? You just couldn't believe at the time that this situation could possible serve you but, somehow, it did.
So, my question is, why do we spend so much time resisting that which is really good for us? There may be many answers to this question, but the one that comes to my mind first is fear. Plain old fear. And we let it stop us all the time. We let fear influence just about every single thing we do - we worry about what people will think, how they will react, we worry about how things are going to turn out, and we constantly worry that things won't' work out. Well, the whole point here is, things do work out - for the BEST - EVERY SINGLE TIME - even when it doesn't feel like they're going to.
It's pointless to get frustrated with the things that serve us. It may make us feel better for a brief moment, but ultimately, when we get frustrated and/or angry, upset, etc. it only takes longer to get through the situation. God is going to work beautifully in our lives - whether we want Him to or not. He's working behind the scenes constantly to make sure that we learn the lessons we need to learn to become the people we were born to be. We can resist it and cause ourselves even more pain - or not. The great thing is - the choice is up to us... :-)
Have a great day!!
With love,

Update
Sorry it's been so long since I've been written. I can't exactly put into words how much has changed throughout the course of this past year. However, I can tell you this much - no matter how much my life has changed since this time last year, it's all been for the better! :-)
Change is an interesting thing - it's necessary and it happens ALL the time - whether we want it to or not. Despite how much we resist it sometimes, change is ALWAYS for the better. Now I know a lot of you might be arguing with me right now but, believe me, life always has a way of working out for the best - even if it doesn't feel like it at the time.
So anyway, this is just a quick update to let you all know that yes, I'm still alive - more alive than ever as a matter of fact! And, yes, I'm back in the studio working my little butt off. The new album should be finished sometime in February, which means that I'll be releasing it sometime in March. Stay tuned for details! :-)
In the meantime, I've posted a bunch of songs on my website: http://www.jenstackpolemusic.com Some new, some old and all for sale for only $0.69 each!! Please enjoy and I'll be in touch again soon!
I hope all is well with you in your amazing corner of the world and, as always, thank you for all your love and support!!
Love always,
