i'm slowly learning writing could possibly be my get away. which could be a good thing or a bad thing. all i know is words are the only thing that remain the same. in a crazy and hectic world. that's always changing. His Word is the only thing that eternally stays the same. just like it says in Isaiah 40:8 the grass whithers and the flowers fade but the Word of our Lord stands forever.
my life is changing in multiple ways right now. school is done, for a while. i'm no longer an RA as of today. my last girl has left and checked out. i'm leaving a staff of wonderful men and women on SoMo, and now in approximately one week i will be driving down to South Carolina to disciple three girls for a summer. i told my friend anna two days ago.

"i feel like my life is some quirky indie movie and it's on fast forward"
she said
"thats ok, it's an exciting movie and the ending is amazing"

true.

in all of this changing He remains the same. His Word remains the same when our words fail. He's faithful when we're faithless. He's loving when we're wayward. He's so strong when we are so weak. so i'm going to rest in His unchanging grace. it really doesn't matter if i was an amazing RA or fail at discipling these girls. either way it's Him who reveals His grace for them. my works are filthy rags and He's already paid it all. all i know is i get to spend the rest of my life loving and being loved by my Savior. and honestly, that's more than ok with me...

“there existed no love but the love of Jesus equal to the work of salvation.

Love less divine, less strong, less gentle, could never have won your heart, uprooted your enmity, tore you from your idols; enthroning Christ, all of Christ, Christ only, Christ supremely, Christ forever!

Beloved, nothing shall take the love of Christ from you, or separate you from it. It does not ebb with the ebbing of your feelings; it does not chill with the chill of your affections; it does not change with the changing scenes and circumstances of your life.”
