Change has always been something I've striven for since I was a young teenager. I wanted to be in college. I wanted independence. I wanted to be in a relationship. Now I'm realizing that change isn't all it's cracked up to be - I guess I've actually known that for quite awhile now, though. I'm just being reminded of the fact as I say goodbye to friends and family for another extended amount of time. I dread the thought that this could possibly be the last week that my whole family co-exists under the same roof. After my brother graduates from college, who knows where he will end up? I've picked my little plot of land to live on and no longer will do the moving around that my family does. Everything changes. I always long for change, but then I dread it when it's directly before me. I need to hold tight to Jesus - the only One who isn't going to change.
