the changing and unchangeable

I'm not very good at keeping up with my journal. I go through stages in which I'm very attentive and/or introspective and/or reflective. At the same time, I'm also disciplined enough to relay the thoughts onto paper. It's a great marriage (introspection + recording abilities = immortalized thoughts . . or something like that). Yet, those stages are far too infrequent.

I picked up my journal and read an entry from last July. It's always fascinating to look back on what I was doing at this exact time last year. The past several summers have been very eventful. Last summer: moved to a new city. Two summers before: moved and started my first "grown-up" job. Summer before that: moved and started the Trinity Fellows Program.

What I usually find from my walks down memory lane is God's enduring and steadfast faithfulness. My life changes. My relationships, housing, job status, health, etc. can all change. He does not.

The lesson that was such a "eureka!" moment is still a eureka moment. Truth is truth. And God still loves me just the same.
