Fall in Georgia is a funny thing. Though the colors of the leaves are changing and falling in true autumn style, the weather is nowhere near what most would consider to be suitable for the season. Every day is something different: chilly, freezing, or downright toasty, the great state of Georgia does not discriminate when it comes to weather, no matter what month it is. It is always changing, every day.
In fact, a lot of things are changing for me right now. I already mentioned my major, but that was just one of many things that are currently turning my world upside-down. Obviously, my decision to change my major to English also greatly changed the direction of my career path, which affects my decision about which college I will transfer to, and when. On top of that, I am growing and changing more every day into the person that God has
chosen me to be- which, as awesome as that growth is, can be a very scary and overwhelming thing to deal with. And, as I change, I am watching the people around me change as well. Things are very different now than they were not so long ago.
Recently, God reminded me in His mysterious and awesome way that He is constant. Despite all of the scary and thrilling changes that are happening in my life, He is the always the same. Such an overwhelming sense of
peace comes with the knowledge that my God is the same loving, graceful, and righteous Lord today as He was yesterday, and will be tomorrow. He is all-powerful, and He is willing and able to give me all that I need to be exactly what is pleasing to Him.
"Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the Heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow."
-James 1:17 (NLT)
