24 days left [lifeless]

I didn't get to make a post yesterday, because I had a very long day. I stayed up until 2:30am the night before and I had to wake up early for small group. Getting up at 8am was painful, because I was not used to staying up that late. It was okay though, because I look forward to small group. It's such an encouragement every time I meet with them. Kuya Mark was the one that led the devo though, because Ate Kristine wasn't feeling well. Us PKs are so spoiled. Every time we have small groups at the Almacens, we are provided with breakfast and sometimes even lunch. Yesterday, we had Panera bagels for breakfast, and for lunch they ordered take out Pho. Afterwards, they offered us a huge bag of assorted chocolates to choose from. Wah, I was definitely in a food coma! Then, at youth group, there was food cooked by Tito Boy. >_< I was so bloated by the time I got home.

Today, at church an announcement was made that Victory Missions International and Belair Baptist Church will no longer have a blended service. We combined services a few years a go, but starting next week we will go back to our own services. It was not for negative reasons, and there were absolutely no hard feelings. That season is simply over.

I have been having a little hard time recently, because I felt like big changes were about to take place in my life. To be honest, I'm scared. Involuntary change is always uncomfortable, because you have to let go of the things you're used to. I hate that feeling. It's like they say, "Nothing lasts forever." I always keep that saying in the back of my mind, and I recite it to myself whenever change does happens. Change is inevitable no matter how much I dread it, but I just feel so helpless thinking about it.

But I do take comfort in knowing that God is before me and He walks beside me every step of the way. No matter how much my circumstances change, God will never change. Involuntary change just makes me a little sad, because it's kind of like saying good-bye to a friend who's moving away or like your favorite's shows season finale.
