Change is scary.
At this point in life, change is constantly surrounding us. Your home is changing, your goals are changing, people are changing. As a child, and honestly still today, change is one of my biggest fears. I love having a routine with the same people, doing the same things, and being the same person. I feel like all of these changes are taking my place in my life and I'm not totally sure what to do with them.
Yet, things change for a reason. I am such a firm believer that everything does happen for a reason. Your "home" changes because as cliche as this, home is truly where your heart is. While you may have a physical house that has been your living situation for your entire life, like me, my home is here in Lexington with the people that love me for myself. Your goals change because you realize that you thought might be best for you maybe actually isn't in your best interest. People change and relationships distance so others can have the opportunity to experience the love you once did.
And while change is terrifying, there is one thing that remains constant. Your relationship with God and your reliance on Him will never change. He will be there, through the ups and downs, good and bad, highs and lows. He is why you feel comfort, even through the terror.
"Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever."
-Hebrews 13:8
"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples."
