Changes

Have things ever changed in your life so quickly that it's overwhelming?

That's how I'm feeling right now. Everything is changing. Nothing is how it used to be, including myself.

I've been thinking a lot about the beginning of the year and who I was back then, and I never want to go back. I've also been thinking a lot about my view on my possessions and what I was doing with my life, and I am so glad that all of that is changing. But at the same time, I am so completely overwhelmed. Everything is moving so fast, and I feel as if I can barely keep up with it all. But in the midst of all this chaos, my Lover is whispering to me, "I'll see to it that everything works out for the best" (Isaiah 54:17, the Message). My God is right by my side telling me that everything is going to be okay. Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." I can rest assured that my Savior is going to take care of me because that is what He has promised in His Word. And God keeps His promises.

Anyway, I'm glad that everything is changing and that God is taking me out of my comfort zone. He's wanting to stretch me and make me new. I am a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), and I intend to live that way.

Through the chaos and changes, I have a peace about everything. It's pretty crazy. And I know that this peace is coming straight from my heavenly Father! :)
