Change

So much chaos comes along with change.  It is disconcerting at best, and terrifying at its worst.  Change creeps up on us, surprising us.  It throws us upside down sometimes and we're left hanging there, looking at our world from a perspective that is confusing.  Then it tosses us to the ground where we find ourselves gasping for air and wondering how in the world we let ourselves get into this situation.  Then the earth moves and threatens to swallow us up, or the waters from a left over hurricane have the rivers overflowing their banks and rising to our doorsteps or filling our basements.  Or a raging fire chases us out of our homes, carrying only the necessities with us.  We are vulnerable human beings, our lives subject to change.  Some would love things to remain the same for a lifetime.  But many of us are grateful for changes which come along...often times looking backwards on it, seeing the blessing it brings with it.

Breathe deeply friends.  Hold onto that which is unchangeable.  We are not alone in the midst of the chaos.  There is one who speaks peace to our hearts.
