Life Changes Fast.

Joan Didion reminded me that life, indeed, changes fast and in the instant. In this season of change, I cling to these verses.

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." - II Corinthians 12:9

"In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my light, my strength, my song. This cornerstone, this solid ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease. My comforter, my all in all, here in the love of Christ I stand."

"But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord endures. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness!"The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him." The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord." - Lamentations 3:21-26

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful." - Hebrews 10:23
