Change

The one constant in life is change.

I want to thank everyone for reading my blog since 2009. I have enjoyed sharing my life and thoughts. The Lord has shown me many things and I have learned so much in the process.

I have started a new blog at www.holdingfastblog.wordpress.com

I would be honored if you would join me on this new adventure.

I still believe that the challenges do "come to pass" and I will continue to share in that regard and remind us of that truth. But,  I also have been challenged to think a little differently about our challenges.

I am so glad that things pass and don't remain the same but what do we do while we are in the midst of the storm? Do we sit idly by and wait hoping to endure?

There is a two part equation to life- what God does and what we do. God is the one with all the strength and power and knowledge. I am the one who is weak and powerless and ignorant. Yet, we are called upon, in scripture to "hold fast". This is our part of the equation. God does what He does as only He can and while He is at work, our role, our part is to hold fast; to be courageous in the midst of the trouble, to remember the promises of God and to not let go of them.

This idea of holding fast came as a result of reading an article on the art of manliness website http://artofmanliness.com Great site. This idea of holding fast refers to a nautical idea of not letting go of the rope. The rope is and symbolizes your life. Hold on to the rope you live, let go of the rope you may die.

Holding Fast will be a new place for encouragement. A place to be reminded over and over to "hold fast". The storm will pass but as it does, we must hold fast to the word of God and never let it go.
