The mini-yearbook theme that my group in class has (finally) chosen is "constant"- the steady consistency of the Lord throughout mankind's ever-so-repetitive history. Not only is this an applicable theme to a yearbook and an astute observation of human nature, it's surprisingly become increasingly applicable in my own life.
People who you would never expect to turn to worldly things for solace, do so.
People who you would never expect to make a faulty decision and harm you, do so.
People who you believe you can trust, who you think would never break it, do so.
And once you believe you've learned your lesson the first time around, with the first "set" of people, and you've finally reached a place of healing and comfort, history repeats itself and people let you down all over again.
I realize that as the writer, I am being quite vague as to the pertaining situations in my life. I apologize. Sometimes, it helps to spill my thoughts on clean paper- or rather, clean text boxes?- to clear my head. Organization happens after I see what the contents of my head are, exactly.
At this point, I'm just not sure of most things.
Except one, and that is that God is a constant in my life- despite the fact that people let me down repeatedly, He never will. He is the only consistency, the only unfailing Being present in my life- past, present, and future. When people fail me, He is the Solid Rock that will prop me up; the Gentle Touch that will revive my heart, and the Loving Word that will offer me the strength and courage I need to press on.
