transition times

We all go through them. What we decide in them can reveal what is important to us. They shape who we are. More importantly, they are always hard to get through. I am talking about transitions.

Transitions make deciding hard to do. Do we transition here, do this, or complete that? How can we decide? Is there an age limit on transition periods? Everyone thinks it’s the twenty-something age bracket, but what about when you get laid off in your thirties. Then you have to start all over again whether with a family or without. Transitions happen and they don’t have a time limit.

When you are in a transition you question everything because it seems you are always at an intersection, and that choice leads you on a totally new path. Do you remember those books where you had to choose different scenarios? You would choose one way and you would end up on an island, in a deep cave, or on another country. It taught us to stress early on and second-guess our decisions. We were never satisfied with our answer. We always looked at the choices we didn’t pick because our curiosity always got the better of us. It is a shame that we can’t apply that to real life. We can’t go back and read the what-ifs. We are stuck in the bed we have made. Choices are tough and big. So, don’t feel like you have it worse. Everyone has their own situations going on in their lives. However, God is always there to let us lean on Him and not worry. It is harder to do than just saying the words. If we all tried one day to live presently how would our lives change?

Decisions strengthen us and give a sense of responsibility. No one ever said they would be easy but the Lord said he would never give us more than we can bear. (1 Cor. 10:13) The Lord is bigger than every decision that may seem like the world to us. This is the magnificence of God. He desires to help make them with you. So ask his advice because that is one opinion that does matter.
