Never-Changing

Life is...Never-Changing

What an untrue statement – life is always changing. Whether we want it to or not. 

I have been praying so hard for others lately, really saddened by things happening, and it has consumed my thoughts. It really doesn’t matter what it is; we have all been there. 

Change is hard. 
I realized when I say someone or something changed, it probably did, but just as probable is that I changed. 
That is a combination of the 2. 

I was praying for circumstances and people and listening to the worship portion from a service a few weeks ago while putting dishes in the dishwasher. They sang the song Tremble by Mosaic MSC, and I just started bawling. 

Peace, bringing it all to peace

The storm surrounding me

Let it break at Your name

Still, call the sea to still

The rage in me to still

Every wave at Your name

Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble

Jesus, Jesus, You silence fear

Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble

Jesus, Jesus

Your name is a light that the shadows can't deny

Your name cannot be overcome

Your name is alive forever lifted high

Your name cannot be overcome

I cried and cried and cried. Arms lifted high. Surrendering. Once again.

Things will change, people will change, the world will change, I will change, but God never will! 

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

Hebrews 13:8 NIV

I FOUND PEACE!

Life is...Where Are My Keys?!

Life is...Where Are My Keys?!

Right now I feel so overwhelmed by everything. Like every little thing is a big thing. I know I need to get away when I can’t find my car keys. That’s not a big deal, everyone does that, but it is a big deal when I drive in the bank drive-thru, turned off my car, but obviously I drove it into the drive-thru lane, and didn’t get out. Then the transaction is done, and…I can’t find my keys!!! 

Well, that happens to me a lot. I put them in different places no matter how many times I tell myself I will only put them in one spot! But I LOOKED + LOOKED, went through my purse 3 times, really went through it, even opened up my wallet to see if it was in there. I looked through the trash, checked my pockets 4 times. Checked the dash, checked the floor, opened up the car door to see if they had somehow fallen out, even though I had just rolled down the window. 

Finally the teller came back to see if I needed anything. I had to tell her I couldn’t find my keys and asked if they were by chance in the thing you put your checks into (yes, great wording). She showed me they weren’t and asked when I lost them. 

How embarrassing!!!

I lost them in the last 5 minutes!

Another look around the car, and I have gone from frustration to panic. Seriously, how am I going to get out of this drive-thru lane? Put the car in neutral and push? 

David asks, “Mommy, are you going crazy?!” 

Yes, yes I am! 

I finally enlist my son, and ask him to unbuckle and come to the front and start searching. I look everywhere again, and then finally look further under my seat. 

THERE THEY ARE! 

How did they get there? How could they get so jammed under my seat within a few minutes and never moving? 

Since my husband works for this credit union I’m sure he’ll hear about his crazy wife! 

I need a vacation!!!!!

“Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”

Psalms 61:1-2 NKJV
