What A Difference 2 Months Makes...

Two months gone by and life is completely different. I have a new car because the old one was stolen. I have a new job because people have left. I am engaged and will be married in less than two months.

I feel completely different than I did two months ago. It's hard to believe that such a short time has elapsed. The title of this post is loosely based on that ole' cliche, "What a difference a day makes." Well, not loosely based at all. I have found this is true when I really slow down and approach each day with the respect it deserves.

Lamentations 3:22-23 says,

"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.

They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."

This is just another reason for me to be thankful that I am a child of God. I am so different than I was a year ago. I'd like to say that I worked really hard to improve my emotional stability and physical fitness, but the truth of the matter is that I could have worked harder. I don't know that it would have mattered. The God that lives inside of me has changed me and continues to change me in spite of myself. I am seeing things differently more and more. The things I once loved pale in comparison to what I have now and will even more as time goes on. The person I was is repulsive to me and will eventually fade into a distant memory.


The only condition as far as I see it is that I continue to wake up and remember that it's "because of the Lord's great love that I am not consumed". What a difference 2 months makes!! Who knows what will happen next. I think that I am simply responsible for remembering who is behind it all.
