On my Facebook I have written under the "about me" section, "transition, transition, transition...what can I say?". That feels like the story of my life. I have gone from transition to transition. I can count 15 different houses I've lived in, in 7 different states and 2 countries. And minus KY, I have not lived in any one place more than 3 years.
Growing up, most of this was due to my family moving for church reasons...my father was a pastor.
Transition!
When we arrived in KY, where I spent most of my life, there was still a lot of transition. I was finishing high school, and headed off to boot camp with the USMC, and then I went to university. I was married while achieving my undergrad degree. And started a family and career. I moved 3 different times for my job with the airlines. And was unemployed 2 different times within an 11 month period. Whew...I forgot to tell you to take a breath...sorry.
Transition!
So this really is a theme of my life. Like a thread weaved in a tapestry, all these changes have been actively moving me to where I am now. For me...the word transition has been easily defined as a "verb". But I believe that is about to change...lol, another transition.
I believe that I am in a season of understanding this powerful force as a “noun”...as an event that results in transformation!
On Friday 11-11-11, my family went to an event at the Century II Center, that really delved into the prophetic and the positioning of the church. Dare I say it? The entire theme of this meeting was...yup, you guessed it. Transition! I would struggle to even begin to describe all that came out of this meeting. But I was convinced that I was not the only one in transition.
I believe that God is establishing a constance within the body. The HS has shown me at times how flaky I've been and how at times I've been off the charts with lows and highs. I believe my walk with the Lord has at times resembled the stock market, which lately has resembled a roller coaster.
And now the HS draws near and speaks to me, "Prepare a way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for your God. Every valley shall be lifted up and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”. Isa40.3. (paraphrased me). We are called out to prepare our hearts for the Lord, to remove all obstacles and see the glory of the Lord revealed as we are moved into the glory realms of understanding and living full lives.
The great truth?!? It’s all about Him...it’s for His glory...it’s “Christ in me” and “when I am weak, then I am strong”. The power and mystery of his grace in transition.
