Making Room for Change

One of the wonderful things about being the new person in any setting is that you have an opportunity to make different decisions about who you want to be with the people you meet. It seems like a million lifetimes ago, but I attended a different school each year from sixth grade through eleventh grade, so I understand the freedom that comes with this well. When you are the new person, no one knows your history or has prior experiences with you that color their opinion about who you are. Yet we also have a God-given desire to be known.
