general isn’t easy to navigate.

We’re very excited about the arrival of our child but it is equally daunting embracing this change to our lives. We have to face the sleepless nights all over again for one thing!

Our daughter’s anticipation for becoming a sister is very pure, mostly because she has no concept of what this is really going to be like. We know she’ll make an excellent sister but equally she is bound to find the change in her life a challenge.

She isn’t going to solely have her parent’s attention anymore. She’s going to have to share us, her toys and lots of other things with her new sibling. Toddlers aren’t exactly renowned for finding all of that easy!

I recently spoke with someone who told me that change is one of the things they find most challenging in life. That might be the case for you too. Whilst I was looking through the track listing for Cross Rhythms

Plymouth I came across a song by Family Force 5 which was especially relevant. Its title is ‘When Everything’s Changing’.

The lyrics in the chorus speak of a way in which the songwriter copes with change;

When everything’s changing

You are my constant

I’d be lost without You

You might interpret this as being a constant person in your life who enables you to process change. A spouse, best friend or family member perhaps.

The constancy of the love and support from people in our lives is a significant support but it isn’t this to which the songwriter is referring.

The song is about how Jesus is the one who is truly constant in our lives and is able to give us the comfort and stability we need to face any change.

Friends let us down, spouses can
