Sometimes desired, sometimes not,...Ahh yes, change. Sometimes desired, sometimes not, though generally marching on along with time throughout our lives while we hold to the Rock that does not move. Sometimes predicted, sometimes sudden, but always we know it is for good if we are seeking the Lord's best! Fall came suddenly up here also - 2 weeks ago it was summer, now it's fall - and we're loving it!

I've never been good at change, and often have a tough time dealing with this unstable world around me. Just the other day, I realized why I have been so discouraged and miserable. I've been living every day just trying to get through. I was telling myself "if I can get through this season, I'll be fine. I just need to get to the next." I am convicted that I have been trying to get out of and rush this season of difficulty, instead of letting God work. He has a purpose for this, so I need to let go of what I think this time is supposed to be. Comparison is truly the thief of joy. I can be happy in this ever-growing, ever-changing time. It has a beauty all of its own; not beautiful like my bestfriend or that sweet mom at church, but beautiful for me. So many times we strive for perfection, instead of finding beauty in the thorns. God uses both the mountaintop experiences and the valley ones for His glory and our good. I'm beginning to realize all over again that I need to let my expectations go, and just let Him change and grow me.<br />Thank you so much for sharing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13436633452180943193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818238385257061482.post-46223630872415327882016-09-29T18:53:21.202-07:002016-09-29T18:53:21.202-07:00This was music to my torn spirit tonight!
