To start off with, the hubby and I are expecting our first mini us. This is a huge change. though a welcome one. We are starting to adjust our habits and plan for a future little mouth to feed and clean. As a result I'm frantically trying to get things done before the little one comes. I'm trying to get Christmas presents done and finish my novel and get rid of things that will harm the baby. I'm a busy person it would seem.
Then, on top of that, the contract for the company I was working for was up. As a result I had to find a new job, to which I start on Monday. That means meeting new people, learning new things, dealing with new stress. All of which while I'm pregnant. To say the least, this was not a welcome change.
Life is full of these changes and they never stop. Sometimes they are fantastic changes, things you were hoping for. Other times they are devastating and heartbreaking to think of. It's hard to deal with them but deal with them we must as life caries on no matter what.
It is at times like these when I need to remind myself that there is one thing I can always count on; one thing that will never change. That is that Jesus died for me, came back for me, and loves me. For as long as I live, for as many changes that happen, that one thing remains the same. No, God does not promise us an easier life by believing in him. He doesn't even promise that bad things won't happen to good people. But he does promise to love us always and help us through these changes. "Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me."- Psalms 23:4
So spring is here, even if we are still buried under snow. With it comes new beginnings and endings. I will strive my best to celebrate every positive beginning, hand to God my mournful endings,and know that my God loves me through these times of change.
