Seasons come and seasons go. In relationships, careers, churches and families we can count on one thing... things change. It is a constant in life that things do not remain the same. They grow. They develop. People come. People go. Children grow up. Companies close. Seasons change.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. ~ Ecclesiastes 3:1
As women we often define ourselves by things that change. Those changing relationships, careers, children become our identity and when change comes (as it always will) it can seem that our whole world is shifted. That we do not know who we are because the things that defined our existence have changed. We find ourselves no longer a career women, children grown, without him and we are lost. Wondering.
So what can we do when change comes?
Our only defense is to begin to define ourselves by the one thing that remains. Our only defense is Christ. His work. His unchanging love. His mark on our lives.
So, as you find yourself stuck right in the middle of change, REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE. You are a woman who is fiercely loved, saved by grace and made whole in Him. Allow yourself to become completely defined by Christ in you. Then, in the midst of change you will find yourself immoveable. Steadfast because on this solid rock you stand. You will find yourself made whole in the God who is unchanging. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. And because of His work in your life you are becoming a woman steadfast in the mist of change.
Yes. This.
