The New Normal.

Life is just so weird.

One day things are great.

Life is good.

And then the next, it all comes crashing down on you. 

It's scary to think how life can change. 

And it might not necessarily be a bad change, but it's still change...and who likes that?

NOBODY.

(if you say you like change, you're a liar)

It's so hard not to resist change. 

I know I do it.

All the dang time.

I don't want things to change.

I like them the way they are. 

And then there are those times when things change and you don't even have time or energy to resist.

You just have to sit there and watch it all happen.

And you just want things to go back to the way things were before SO badly. 

But they can't.

And they never will.

And that sucks. 

It's such a scary thing to think, that things will never be the same again.

Things will never go back to "normal" because there's going to be a new "normal."

And who says the new normal is going to be bad?

Fear.

Dread.

Frustration.

Anxiety.

Satan. 

What a punk. 

I don't know why the new normal is always such a big fear for everyone. 

Okay, I do know why, I just don't like it. 

It just shows how untrusting we are. 

If I truly trusted in the Lord then what would I have to fear?

Not a blessed thing.

So why is it so hard for me to trust Him?

He's never disappointed me before.

He's never lied.

He's never left my side.

He's always been faithful. 

So what's the deal?

Why am I so skeptical?

Lord, remove my fear. 

Make me trust you.

Make me want the new normal.
