Day 46: Stability


Yesterday, I blogged about worry and how I felt blessed because I didn't feel like I was worried about too much.

And then, today, it hit me...in a way.

Although I'm not constantly worried over this, I find that out of everything in my life, I seem to crave it the most:

Stability.

I find myself thinking of my future occupation, and relationships, and family (Lord willing). My time is occupied with thoughts of sending children to college, buying a house, creating a home that is both of place of rest and stability.

Growing up, stability was something I always had. I knew that I was taken care of, and I never had to worry about much.

Flash forward to my trip to Haiti, and an experience meeting people who didn't know what stability felt like. After seeing temporary homes and shelters, and watching children grow up in this way, my heart craved for stability even more.

I need to learn that there is stability in Christ. And that no matter how much my world is rocked in this life, I am rooted in something beyond myself and beyond my understanding.

Worldly stability is something that I crave, but Godly stability is something that I have through Jesus Christ. I am learning to build a foundation in that stability so that I can stand even if everything around me falls.



In Christ,


Lilia
