| Christmas in Malawi |
Christmas 2015 has passed, Christ remains. Joy to the world indeed. A joy that is not grounded in our circumstances but in the unchanging character of God. Where would we be otherwise?! Everything in and around us changes. Times, people, health, seasons, philosophies, views, emotions, friendships, churches, climate, moods etc. If I didn’t have the unchanging God hold my right hand, I would be extremely scared!
Life for our family is gonna change drastically. After ten
years living and working in Africa, we will be transitioning to the
Netherlands. We set foot on African soil Easter 2006, we will be leaving Easter
weekend 2016. Was this in our agenda? No. Was it in God’s plan? Yes. I lay my
trust in the truth of the never changing heavenly Father and am strengthened by
it. The Lord is caring and faithful, He walks with me on the hills of joy and through
the valleys of sorrow and pain. Leaving is losing, leaving is grieving.
In this season of instability and uncertainty I realize that I
don’t even know what tomorrow holds but taking comfort in the fact that I am
holding the hand of Him who does. His
word says so!
What a difference to face a new year! May you also be
encouraged, no matter what season your life is. He holds the future of those
who trust Him.
“We can embrace change
by knowing we serve an unchanging God.” David Jeremiah
