There has been so much change going on. I hate the word 'change' now that Obama was overused it. Its lost its meaning. But anyways, I was running today and thinking about everything in my life that I didn't expect to be change over time, and yet it has. People come and go, values shaken, jobs aren't stable. The world changes. People change. I've changed. But God never does. He remains the same no matter how far we run, when we forget what we stand for. He is always right there, where He has always been. I normally don't like change, it scares me. Because with change, I may fail at the new adventure and I don't know what to expect. However, I am learning to embrace each new improvement or degradation as a way to grow. Its not always fun. It can be draining and stressful, but in the end the 'change' is positive. Its all about how you see it.
What are the things in your life, that you didn't expect them to change? What was your reaction?
Life like ocean waves, come and go as it pleases.
Never exactly the same way, but it is consistent.
Don't let your life wash away. Learn from each wave.
(i saw you running downtown yesterday in the rain. love your dedication.) :]
ReplyDeletei like change. maybe i'm just accustomed to it. but it doesn't bother me much. in fact, i kind of push for it, more often than not. but most of the time, i don't have to push for it. it just happens!
there is a never a day that goes by that change isn't happening. we are constantly changing from the moment we are born, til the day we die. our body changes. our mind changes. our mood changes. our circumstances change. the weather changes. the hour, the minute, the second changes. we are surrounded by change on all sides. to hate change or be afraid of change, is to hate or be afraid of the journey of life itself.
i want to embrace change and go along for the ride. i want to be moved by the wind of the Spirit, and go where ever He takes me. the sooner we learn to stop resisting Him and stop fighting change, the better for us. in an ever changing world, He is our constant. the one thing that always remains the same. His love endures forever. and we can trust Him through it all.
good post.
