True to the last blog post, this has been a week of CHANGE! Nothing bad, lots really good, and some just different. Knowing that change was soon coming my way, I contemplated and prepared and thought I had my emotions under control. Yet, just when I think that I am so smart to be ahead of the game, I realize that no matter how much one prepares for what is ahead the emotional upheaval will have some sort of effect on my life.
One of the things that I have always been thankful for is a sense of steadiness in my life. Since the transition I made from college to post-college life I've been the kind of girl that is not a roller coaster of feelings, I feel as if I take things in stride and even if there is a tough situation I can let things roll off my back. This is a gift straight from the Lord, and a testament to the love and support of my family, and I know it!
This weekend though, man alive, it was up and down, back and forth, but I think I really learned a lot in a very short amount of time, and to be able to see that learning while it was happening was a blessing. Moving to Milwaukee has been an exciting idea in my mind for over a year, and it still is, but at the same time it has rocked my sense of steadiness. As things are in flux, I feel as if I am standing on unsure ground.
As that last sentence came out of my fingertips, I am reminded that however unsure I am in my earthly life, I am not on unsteady ground! I rest in the love of my earthly parents and siblings, but I know that is just a dim shadow of the love that my Heavenly Father has for me! That Love is a Strong Tower, it is a Rock, it is a Shelter, it is a Mighty Fortress, it is Shelter, none of those things, none of them, are things of unsteadiness or insecurity. I am so thankful that the Lord is faithful to use things, even writing this blog, to teach me to be completely dependent upon him!
