life is ever changing
the only thing that stays the same is that nothing stays the same
i know
but change
oh change has got to me lately
my son finished kindergarten monday
he is growing before my eyes
i will be blink and he will be grown
this week i went to the house i moved into
i lived there until i got married
i walked around and touched the walls
the cabinets
in this house i grew up and not as a child
but as an adult
i drank too much and stayed up too late
i became a single mother
i found Jesus waiting for me
i cooked for friends every night
i had late night snacks with my brother
and i found out what i was made of
change happened there and i am better for it
i won't always teach in the same room
my son will not stay in kindergarden forever
my daughter will not always crawl
things will change
but my God...He will not
and where ever He takes me
I will work for Him
For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. Malachi 3:6
Heartfelt writing. I love you and your honesty! <3

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, girl. I wrote about children growing up this week as well as my big girl finishes kindergarten too. It flies, does it not?

ReplyDeletesmiles...hard to believe we are at the end of another school year...and my boys are another year older and it all seems to just go faster every single year....and life does change...but yes god does not...smiles...and that is a comfort...
ReplyDeleteChange, I love you, I love you. Change, I hate you, I hate you.
ReplyDeleteI watch the same thing with my son and wonder where the time has gone. My first couple groups of students have now graduated and I see some of them out; that is when it really hits me.
ReplyDeletea tender and poignant write, karrie. i was right there with you. bless you as you cling to his steadfast love.
