been thinking about scrap-booking.
pasting little pieces of the year past
onto pages [multi-colored]
before they disappear into a vague memory.

mom has a scrapbook.
pages full of drawings and clippings and such.
i love to look at it.
will my [perhaps future] children
enjoy looking at my life-
just as i enjoy looking at hers?

scrapbooks often make me sad.
their pages full of change.
jobs change.
relationships change.
families change.
[fashions change]...
i don't particularly fancy change....

but through this thinking
i'm reminded of one very important truth:
God will never change.
it may sound hokie...
perhaps even a little preachy
and you've heard it before...
but over these last few months in my life
i've experienced a lot of change...
and i'm thinking it's just God's way
of getting my attention
to show me...
[showing me through inconsistencies]
that He is faithful and true.
that He loves me.
that He deserves my full attention...
and that HE will never change.

amen and hallelujah.

oh sweet bed, take me away!
