"Nothing stays the same, but change."
...Didn't I say that at the beginning of the summer? Well, that is because it is true. Here I am with one week left of summer. In one week I will be, beginning my junior year of college. I will be living in an apartment with three other girls and hopefully having a job (very much needed). It's just crazy that the summer went by SO fast. It was nothing like I thought it would look like, but it was so good.
Here are some verses and a song that have spoken to me this summer:
Isaiah 41:14b-16:
I am the Lord, your Redeemer.
I am the Holy One of Israel.’
15 You will be a new threshing instrument
with many sharp teeth.
You will tear your enemies apart,
making chaff of mountains.
16 You will toss them into the air,
and the wind will blow them all away;
a whirlwind will scatter them.
Then you will rejoice in the Lord.
You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.
I am the Holy One of Israel.’
15 You will be a new threshing instrument
with many sharp teeth.
You will tear your enemies apart,
making chaff of mountains.
16 You will toss them into the air,
and the wind will blow them all away;
a whirlwind will scatter them.
Then you will rejoice in the Lord.
You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 45:2:
2 This is what the Lord says:
“I will go before you, Cyrus,
and level the mountains.[a]
I will smash down gates of bronze
and cut through bars of iron.
3 And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness—
secret riches.
I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord,
the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.
Psalms 138:8
8 The Lord will work out his plans for my life—
for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.
Don’t abandon me, for you made me.
for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.
Don’t abandon me, for you made me.
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant through the trial and the change
One thing remains
One thing remains
Your love never fails it never gives up it never runs out on me
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jesus_culture/one_thing_remains.html ]
On and one and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never ever have to be afraid
One thing remains
In death and in life I'm confident and covered by the power of your great love
My debt is paid there's nothing that can separate my heart from your great love
-One thing Remains by Jesus Culture
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant through the trial and the change
One thing remains
One thing remains
Your love never fails it never gives up it never runs out on me

On and one and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
