To everything there is a season, and a
time to every purpose under heaven.

Change is inevitable. And whenever it comes, I've no choice but to deal with it...
time to every purpose under heaven.

And change is coming for the church here at Sullivan Correctional Facility. This is sure. The writing is on the wall.
Of course, change does not always have to be a bad thing. Being that most people prefer structure to their lives, we generally do not like change. But it will happen nonetheless, and this is especially true in the prison environment, where people so often come and go. Even the facility's staff move on through transfers, promotions or retirement.
Yet I know that God is in control and nothing happens without His knowing about it. So my role as a Christian is to keep trusting in the Lord. I must always keep my eyes on Jesus Himself, and not on circumstances. Then, through God's grace, I have to handle whatever comes while never losing hope or allowing discouragement to take root in my heart and mind.
As the popular saying goes, I have to "Go with the flow." Hopefully, however, this 'flow' is headed heavenward, and not downward.
