Higher Than I

When I was younger, I was constantly yearning for change.

In a town that seems to be stuck in the same gray cloud and rain, I thought what I really needed is something to happen.

Right now it is raining and it's raining hard.

The rain, for me, is change.

My life is changing.

The rain hurts.  A lot.  More than I ever thought change could hurt.

I look out the window now and think, "Is this really my life?  Is this really my rain?"

But in this rain, in this world, among these people, who constantly change and move and pull and push, I have found a rock, a high place, to ground my feet on.  On the rock, it does not stop raining.

But on the rock is solid ground.

When I was younger, I wanted change so badly it bled out of every word I wrote.

Now I find that as my life changes, God does not.

I find that as the rain pours, my feet do not slip.

As it rains, my faith is not broken, merely tested.

My inspiration:
