All my trust on thee is stayed

So I guess the problem with having the mindset of "These are good days" is things change. I do well with a lot of things, like a double digit amount of kiddos at one time, to do list that could never all be done, mainly I do crazy well. I do not do well with change. And in a time in my life that I am getting ready for a big, but good change (marriage) it seems like in the Lord's good and perfect timing everything around me is changing too.

I mean three of the families I am watching are either getting ready to or just had a baby, three families are moving (one to Kansas :( and the other two locally), two families have kids starting preschool (therefore I won't see the kids as much as I would like), multiple of my good friends have moved a way and now it looks like my brother may join in the changes and move to Colorado :(

Half of me wants to freeze time and stay awhile (or at least throw my hands up and say "really", the other half is just a little sad. I suppose that the good reminder in it all is that my hope is not in these days, but in the Maker of day, the giver of my days. My end is to glorify him. As things change all around me my cornerstone remains steadfast.






Other refuge have I none,
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah! leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenseless head
with the shadow of thy wing.

Thou, O Christ, art all I want,
more than all in thee I find;
raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
false and full of sin I am;

thou art full of truth and grace.
-Wesley
