Transitioning.

This year has brought change on so many levels. Traumatic change for those who lost loved ones. Babies were born, families were split up, people ended their lives while others fell in love. Every single person can look back at 2020 and find change interwoven in the fabric of their lives.

Change is inevitable.

It doesn’t matter what happens to you, you always have a choice how you respond. We aren’t helpless feeble beings subjected to our circumstances. Except if you believe you are. But if you believe that you are a light being seated at the right hand of Yahweh in Christ under whose feet everything is subjected well….

We are constantly transitioning, moving forward not only through time but also in who we are. Change within us sometimes happens unnoticed, slowly moving us from what we were to what we are becoming. Very rarely is it an instant occurrence.

I have a habit to write down goals and plans every New Year. I’m a planner what can I say. It doesn’t mean they always pan out. But any plan is better than no plan. Life is not predictable though. To learn how to respond to the unexpected is as important as knowing how to expect more than what you’d normally do. Because your expectations frame your thinking which frames your belief which frames your outcomes.

So as we transition from one decade to another I’m extremely grateful for all the change in my life the past few years. And I know that I cannot even imagine what will happen in the coming few years. But I’m going to try to see it with my heart wide open for all the unexpected – above and beyond what Yahweh has for me.

Because it doesn’t matter what happens He remains the definition of goodness. The fullness of love. And nothing can separate us from Him not even death. The truth is that He chose us while we were lost. Loved us before we knew Him.

So as I transition into His likeness moment by moment and day by day I’m humbled by His grace. He will work out everything for our good as we trust Him with the process of our lives.
