"All We Know is Falling . . ."

Why is change such a huge part of life?  I look around, and I see the way things are now.  They're so different to how life was in days gone by.  Society changes, people change, ideas conform and mold to the times. Things that I took as solid, that I always "knew" would stay the same, have faded.  People that I looked to as a guide or encouragement, have fallen or compromised.  I know that God is the rock that never changes. . . but even He seems so distant at times. . . . especially times like these.  What is there to hold on to, and in reality. . . am I as solid as I think I am? Or have I fallen as well. If you really think about it . . . Jesus said its a narrow road, and only a few find it. If only a few people can find this narrow road, that tells me that its a VERY narrow road . . . almost like a deer path kind of road. Something off the  beaten path, twisting and winding away from the rest of the noise and traffic.  The thing about those kind of trails though, is that they're easy to lose. Its easy to get distracted. To stop concentrating on tracking the prize. Is that the story of my life? Am I fooling myself sometimes? Have I really been chasing my tail, and getting nowhere? Have I simply let myself become a plaything of circumstance, to be tossed around with no rhyme or reason? Its often on nights like these that I get a serious reality check.  No its true, I'm not where I used to be, and Im not where I want to be. But I must always take account of where I am in the moment . . . cause its so easy to be pulled away and not even realize it.
