Growing up is the oddest experience I've ever had to undergo.
Just the other day I saw an old friend in a store. We barely spoke as we didn't really know what to say.
Years ago I thought that she would still be in my life in some way or another; but time changed that.
Time changes a lot of things. Relationships, body type, desires, fears, favorites, friends, music taste, style choices, jobs.
Everything is so uncertain in this temporary and fleeting life.
You never know when someone will suddenly grow up.
Or move away.
Or change.
You never know when you'll grow up and change.
Today I found myself looking back at the last few years of my short, short life and just sitting in awe.
Everything has changed.
Changes happened yesterday, today and will continue to happen tomorrow.
As much as this excites me this also terrifies me to the core of my being.
I dislike letting go of things or people I love.
Very much so have I always thought everyone who was most important to me would always be in one place, together, living and happy.
Unfortunately, this was an extremely naive expectation for life.
Things happen. People change. They move or die. Babies grow up, adults grow old.
To my utmost joy and relief there is One Thing in life that will always stay the same.
One Being.
He is my constant.
He will always be there.
He will never move far away or die.
He is the Beginning and the End.
It's not that this means I lock myself away from everyone else, but this does mean I have hope to face another day. I have hope because although life hurts, He will always be the Rock I stand on.
Stupid me, I
So today I am reminding myself that although life is continually changing around me the One who holds me close does not.
And that gives me hope.
