Transitions

Some things do change overnight.  My wife and I moved from California to Oregon,  and from San Francisco to Portland.  We are in the middle of looking for a local expression of the church, I have started at a new school and both of us are in new job scenarios that are, at the moment, temporary.  I feel like I'm in high school again!  Anyways, the point is that this life transition happened overnight.  However, the preparation and research took almost a year.  This isn't supposed to be profound, just real and ongoing.  I sense that many believers (by believers I mean followers of Christ) are almost always in a sense of transition from one thing to another.  This isn't necessarily about big moves and nasty situations.  I am thinking about a daily one.  Where believers are constantly being challenged to transition from "glory to glory ( 2 Cor. 3:18)."  Whether we feel settled, or just had a major life change this internal, underground (if you will) current of truth is always moving us closer and closer to God himself.

    A lot in this life seems to be about learning to trust God and not attempting to control our own lives ;-).
