change and immutability

One thing I have been thinking about these past few days is the mystery called "change". This is one thing I just don't think I will ever get used to, I am not really supposed to either, that would defeat it's name. I am so puzzled by this thing "Change" that plagues our lives. I mean if you think about what the word means, it's making something different then it would be if it were left alone.
We have all been victims of change. Some we would say are for good, others more depressing, and still others we would in fact like to "change". I try to imagine my life without it. If I was just a baby for the rest of my life left alone, in one constant state. I would never die, eat, sleep, or laugh. So we see change is mandatory even for rocks and things not living, they too experience change. Either by erosion or man's destruction.
Looking at this impossible thought more practically, there are more recognizable changes that happen to us, ones that we think upon that we are either thankful for or ones we curse. I have come to appreciate change, even in the most frustrating terms. These sort of shiftings and imbalances that redirect my path only make me more aware of that which is greater then me. This God that never changes, this immutable King that is my foundation and my firm rock that I can hold onto while everything around me changes. I am thankful, even for the changes that set me in a more sorrowful or empty direction. I am thankful for the changes that set me towards happiness and opportunity, for they all only seek to make me more aware of that stillness in my Lord.
Yet still this is a thought that will keep my mind meddling. It is insane!!
