Things are changing. In the not so-distant future (i.e. tomorrow), life will be different. I don't know what that looks like, but I can genuinely say that I am not fearful. When I was first presented with the impending and ambiguous news to come, I wept for grief. Grief because life would not be the same. Now that I've had a few days to process and prepare, I welcome whatever will come (it's going to come anyway).
One verse that I've kept especially near to me of late is Isaiah 43: 2-3
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you pass through the rivers, they shall not sweep over you. When you go through the fire, you will not be burned. The flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...
If you've been reading my blog posts, each centers around the fact that I've been focusing a lot lately on what I've done these past seven years and wonder what the next seven will hold. I know the Lord has been preparing me for change--I've expected it.
So, today, with my spirit lifted and with full confidence in Almighty God, I am ready to face whatever lies before.
Thank you God for giving me a sense of humor, for blessing and guiding me, and for being the Constant in an ever-changing world. To You be all the glory, praise and honor.
Singing in my soul,
April
