The Consistency of Change


Seasons change

Plans fall apart
The rug gets pulled out

Hearts are broken
Sand shifts
Sudden storms occur
The unexpected happens...

And God stays the same.
Run. Run. Run.
Keep running when you're world falls apart.
He is Faithful.

"Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified." (1 Corinthians 9:24-27)

hey, thanks for the comment! I remember hearing about that ESOAL-I was at TM the summer before it happened and heard "rumors" that it was going to be the longest ESOAL yet-as much as five days!
