changes come. turn my world around.




music and song often move me to write. i listened to "changes come" by OTR yesterday. it moved me to think about the word change and what it means in my life and what it means in the lives of my loved ones.

change: to become transformed or converted; a transformation or modification.

as i listened to the words i realized how much it resonated with me and my life right now. our lives, our world, our hearts are always changing. they're breaking, mending, pulling, pushing, sinning, praying, repenting, and being redeemed by our God. it's hard to see through the changes that hurt. strained relationships, brokenness within families, lack of patience, death, and sin in general... taking all our crap and turning it into something beautiful for His glory. more and more i am aware of God's mercy in helping me to change and become more like HIM, realizing he is the only thing in this world that is steadfast and unchanging. through growing relationships, through culture, though movies and books and art... through tears and joy and peace and quite... shaping us into a living example of the gospel.


..."You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end."

Hebrews 1:10-12
