a time of transition

you know what I'm talking about ...

that place where you're neither here nor there.

that place where things aren't quite the same as they used to be, but they're not all that different.

transition.

a change.

a movement.

a passage.

...........................................

{transition} seems to have become a way of life - not just for some, but for many.

from one holiday to the next.

from one grading period or semester to another.

from the mountains to home.

from pasture to corn stalks.

from month to month.

from paycheck to paycheck.

we're living a life of {transition}.


.............................................

I've spent the past few weeks transitioning my class from one trimester to another. There have been tests, final drafts, scheduling, placements, and a little fun in the middle. We're practicing Christmas songs, writing what we're thankful for, and somehow managing to continue to learn our math facts. Transition has become our middle name.

Now doesn't that just have a great ring to it?!

School has been so hard this year, but so great at the same time. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. There are so many good things happening and changing, but the amount of energy, stamina, patience and understanding it has required has taken its toll. Not just on me, but on many of my co-workers as well. We're a dedicated and highly motivated staff, so we have survived, but there have been a few battle wounds along the way.

We're transitioning & we're doing it with grace. Not on our own strength, but with His.

.............................................

I've also spent the past several weeks in preparation of our upcoming move. Yes, we're moving. I've hesitated to share much about this simply because there are still so many unknowns, and we have not signed any papers yet, but after the land survey is sent in, things should be moving forward. God is teaching me so much about myself and my faith as this process has been a long one, and I continue to look up for the strength and security that only He can give.

I can't wait to give you a glimpse of the future we have ahead of us in the next several weeks. The view is spectacular. The home will be {ours}. The testimony of God's faithfulness will be written on the walls. Please continue to pray that this {transition} will be just what God has had in mind for us!

..............................................

a life with deep sighs and mixed emotions.



transition.

It's everywhere.

what are you {transitioning} through?

Maybe it's a new job.

Maybe it's unemployment.

Maybe it's a health concern.

Maybe it's a change in the size of your family.

Maybe it's college.

Maybe it's just getting from November to December.

Whatever it is, know that you're not alone.

Transition is life.

and I pray that God gives you the strength and endurance He's given us through whatever it is you're facing.
............................................

He's right there with you at every corner, speed bump, and intersection.

Have you seen Him lately?

I'd love to know how I can be praying for you - so leave a comment with your {transition} and I will pray!

Blessings ~
