"Well, It Is What It Is"

Most of us have either said or heard the expression: “Well, it is what it is.” To be fair, we may have arrived at this mindset in an attempt to accept certain circum- stances (or people) at work or home—we learn to adjust to what we think cannot be changed. The danger is that complying with negativity and dysfunction overtime is unhealthy. If we settle for what is and never what can be, we lose hope and a part of our passion dies. We get stuck and may find ourselves doubting God’s ability to change our situation, the people around us, ourselves, or anything for that matter.
