Passages 

Life is full of change and transition. This truth is universally known. And yet, rather than embracing this unavoidable phenomenon, we often find ourselves swirling in the churn of tentative moments, wondering about the next step, the best path, the right option -- all the while acknowledging the prospect of being forced into an uncomfortable unknown. 

At best, we are the author of our change, boldly declaring our intent to move in a different direction.

 In this moving out, we embrace the adrenaline rush moments that shape the new future, confident in our ability to direct our days, joyful in the prospect of dreams fulfilled or achievements accomplished.


At worst, we feel the frozen awe of the helpless bystander watching life take over and dictate our moves with a force that takes our breath away, the seemingly hapless events of a day gone bad now defining our emotions and thoughts.

In those awkward moments of confusion from both planned and unexpected change, we ask ourselves and God that all consuming question, "What is the purpose?"  We long to know the meaning. Patience and endurance live within the walls of the "why?".  The foundation of this house must be solid, in order for true meaning to be found in the ups and downs of life. 

Upon what is your foundation built?

It is the very vicissitudes of life that test our foundation. May yours be found secure in Christ and Christ alone.

Seek not to understand that thou mayest believe, 

but believe that thou mayest understand.

Augustine
