Not Change, It's Transition


It has been several weeks since my last blog.
I have had so many words swirling through my mind......
Many emotions running through my heart....
But every time I sat to write, all I could do was stare at a blank page.
I couldn't figure out where to start....
My words seemed to just ramble on and on, without any sense or connection. 

I haven't been able to understand nor grasp all my emotions.....
There have been just too many.
When I look back over the last few years of my life, I see growth.
I see change.
But.......
I feel like I am on the side lines, standing and  watching so many move forward ;happily I cheer them on.

I ask my daddy God if He would just tell when is it my time?
Just like a small child, I tell him I don't understand this process of change. 
I sit.....
I stand.....
I wait....
I wonder.

I hold on to His promises.
I cling to His word.....
I remind myself daily of all He has told me.
"When is it my turn " I ask again. 
"I really want all the pieces to connect now Lord" I tell him.
My ramblings begin to flow full force.

 "It's not change "I am told.
And then in His sweet loving way I am lead to this........

 Transition is not the same as change. Change is external, such as a death, a promotion, a move etc...Transition is something that happens internally. Three phases of transition were discussed: an ending...something dies in our life, a neutral phase, in which we are in a "wilderness type" season, and a new beginning, in which we learn a new normal. The Lord's purpose will prevail. God allows transition. Transition prepares us inwardly for what He has for us outwardly. Don't hurry the process. Don't abort the promise He has for you...what He wants to do in your life. Surround yourself with the right people, ask questions, develop good habits, and you will see the birth of His promises in your life. 
(via- Jana Alcorn)
Not change......
Transition!!
I am now having a Ah-Ha moment.
 I see the 'changes" that have occurred in my life and realize "transition" is  the season I now walk.

My daddy God continues to mold and shape me into the woman He has called me to be. 
I see Him raising up an army for His kingdom, a new generation of Godly warriors. 
For us all to be who He has called us to be, there must be transition.....
There must be a shift!!

 Another lesson for me.....
I am not to hurry the process.....
I am not to abort the promises He has for me....

As I continue my walk of transition, I will ask questions,develop good habits,surround myself with those who will encourage me.
 I  will witness the birth of of His promises in my life. ( For His word never returns void)

 I want to encourage you, to look for your transition season.
Embrace it.....
Find joy in it......
Praise Him......
And walk it like a boss!!!

    Hmmm, I never thought of it that way, Stacey. There IS a difference between transition and change. God's in control of both, mercifully, and He walks with us through the season of transition. There's so much comfort in that knowledge!

    Transition is so difficult, but often necessary. If we fully understand that transition is a bridge that connects the old with the new, then we can begin to encourage ourselves during the tough times. Because "weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning"!

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago  (4/8/12) on  "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts.  **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes.....  As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh

Sifting Before the Shifting

I have been hearing the Lord say " shift" for the last year.  Shift in the atmosphere, shift in our nation, shift in the church, and a shift in me.  When I think about the word shift, I see a grand swope of the hand of God moving all into a direction of peace and wholeness.I believe without a doubt He is doing so, however I never once entertained the though He'd have to do some sifting.... sifting in me. Sifting is a process, a two part process, when sifting wheat. First comes the threshing, the beating of the grain using a flail. Second part is the winnowing, throwing the mixture in the air allowing the wind to blow away the lighter chaffs and the heavier grains to fall back down for recovery.  I take a closer look at this process and begin to meditate on how it applies to my life. The threshing  is the process of removal; removing those things which will cause me to stumble.When God begins to remove, He does so with the intent of replacing; replacing with those

Getting My Hinds Feet

Several months ago I received a word from my daddy God telling me He was giving me hinds feet! I became so excited and thrilled not realizing what I was to go through to receive these promised hinds feet. In my mind, I saw it happening all at once.... No more would I struggle to get to the places I was called to go.... I would go leaping and bounding across all the boulders in my path.... There would no longer be traps and snares in my path.... I was climbing my mountain with my new hinds feet!!! But wait....... I now face more trials..... Heavier loads..... More stress..... More obstacles..... Loneliness that is unexplainable..... I look down and I do not see "hinds feet". I see crippled, hurting feet. ~sigh~ I do not understand.... I can't comprehend this journey.... I was promised hinds feet and I now appear to be stumbling my way over these now larger boulders in my path. I want my promised "hinds feet"......
