As I sit on my chaise I can't help but think about about where my life is. 9 years ago I couldn't imagine crawling out of the ashes. I felt like I was drowning in the evil. I was sure that God had stolen my child and abandoned me. I was a better reflection of Edvard Munch's " The Scream"
Yet, here I am. Yes I am incredibly achy. Yes, I am tired of this schedule we have where I basically only see my husband late night as we are getting ready for bed. I know though that this is just momentary.
As I look over the last 9 years I see that time marches on and circumstances change. I turn on the news and that fact is shoved in my face. No matter where we are in this life, no matter what circumstances we encounter today, or what may happen tomorrow we can rest assured that while change is inevitable, God won't change. God is the only constant, the only thing that never changes.
While God doesn't change, He does change us, if we let Him. God will help us grow, and will give us what we need for the day. If we need love, God will give us love. If we need comfort, God will give us comfort. If we need a swift kick in the pants, God can do that too.
God is so amazing. His constant-ness is one of the things that most amazes me. It is comforting to know that God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. I can't wait to get to Heaven and be in His presence. To spend eternity with Him. When circumstances have me down I just remember, "when I get to Heaven this will all be over!" When circumstances are good I just remember, "when I get to Heaven there will be even more joy!"
But for now I rest in the fact that while my circumstances change all the time, God doesn't. God is always the same, and He is always right beside me to give me just what I need for today. He is here with my daily bread.
