Change is very hard. Sometimes it seems that it happens all at once. One of my closest friends (my brother) just headed off to college, while my parents and I are training to go half way around the world. I’ve left all my friends at home and everything that has felt comfortable and normal. I’ve realized that my life will never be the same again. It can never be the same after change. That really is so depressing. I have struggled with that, but I know God has a plan. Even when it’s hard, He is still in control. I just need to trust that when He said He has our best in mind and that He will never leave us, He meant it!( Romans 8:28-
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Psalm 48:14- For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide even to the end. Philip. 1:6- Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. )
He has never failed me before. He loves me and I trust Him. Just as the psalmist said :
Psalm 116:1-
I love the LORD, because He has heard my voice and my supplications.
Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
But the losses that have come with change still hurt. I know though, that He is El Shaddai “God All Sufficient” and God Almighty. He will meet my needs, comfort my hurt, and always be there when I call on Him.
