Days

Each day brings new meaning.
Each day has it's own sunrise, sunset and high noon.
Each day is a gift from God.

The end of each day, for me, is a time to ponder the events of the day. The words said. The thoughts had, and the memories made. It is a time to reflect, to intercede and refocus.

I miss home. I've gotten to that point that I miss calling my mom everyday to talk about how my day went. I miss seeing my sister and brother and having witty banter with my dad. I miss going into work and seeing my pastors and fellow staff. I miss having my own car. I miss having a cell phone that I can use. I miss my mentor. I miss my friends. I miss home.

I was reading this book today about change. It talks about how change is inevitable. It happens all the time and you can always count on things changing. Whether it's the big things or the small things. For 2 1/2 more weeks, my world is changed. Then for a week and half after that...I'll be in the states but not home. Right now, change is temporary. I knew it was coming and it has been great. But as change comes, we cling to hold onto something that is constant. My constant is Jesus. He is all I need. He is who I turn to every night. Even when I am missing home, He is my strength.

Change is inevitable. 
What defines us is how we deal with the change. 
Will you run to Him?
