He Is Constant
Life is change and growth is optional: One thing I
noticed when my husband and I were looking for a larger house because his
13-year old daughter came to live with us full time and we needed more room, is
that my children were not wanting to change junior high schools even though
they would end up with their friends in high school. Later, they told us that
they wished they attended a different junior high.
I've worked so many temp jobs when my son was growing
up and between jobs, they are too numerous to count. In technology, I've used
so many different software programs and different versions, switched from DOS
to Windows, changed in programming to object-oriented programming, changed from
working on CRTs to word processors to PCs. In my current positions, I've seen
managers and deans at our university come and go, and I've been moved around on
my job and been reassigned. Before that, I went through two jobs that were
riffed because of downsizing or the
stockholders sold a 25-year company to a competitor, and then other jobs that I
left for one reason or another. For seven years I traveled from city to city in
evangelism efforts, but one thing I find like my children I am resistant to
change.
My children were resistant to change and my
attending single things, but I lost all my social structure when I lost my
husband, his friends and all the many myriad things we did together. Just
waking up and giving a person a kiss, "Have a good day Hun." I find
in life it's constant change.
There is one constant in life and that is God. It's
like a constant in a computer program, and it can't be changed or altered like
other variables and our lives.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming
down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting
shadows. James 1:17
