Still the One

Lately life has been a series of ups and downs. There is good news.  There is hard news. There is happy news. There is sad news.  This is just the way of life.  What I've learned is the importance of keeping with the One who is always the same, so that no matter the current emotion I have a rock to lean on.  God is the only consistent part of my life.  My family is definitely there for me and that is another solid help.  God is the only one though who is not affected by the ups and downs of my life.  He is prepared for them.  He is already working ahead of me to prepare the way for and make my paths even.  There are moments when the emotion of life is too much and I just have to let it out.  Very quickly, I am filled with an overwhelming peace and God reminds me that He's got it. He is still present.  He is still working on my behalf.  He is still the One.  I have been reminded of that several times this week.
