Transitions
Transitions are hard.
Moving, getting a new job, getting married, starting school, ending school, retiring...
Transitions are hard. It involves leaving something familiar and expected and comfortable and going to something unfamiliar, unknown, and uncomfortable. It's scary (perhaps "terrifying" is the better word). There's always the "what if's" that start running through your brain--What if this isn't what I'm supposed to do? What if I'm making a bad choice? What if I end up in a really difficult spot?
At least for me, nearly all of my “what if’s” end up in some negative outcomes. Some of you know that I have accepted an offer on my house and have begun packing, which means that this week the reality of leaving nearly everything I know hit pretty full force. It’s definitely been one of those “What was I thinking?” moments.
But what if my “what if” ends up being something positive? A few years ago I heard this song by Jenny Simmons—What Faith's About. It’s all about taking chances and the “what if’s.” The chorus says:
So after wrestling with all of the “what if’s” and trying to hold on to the ledge that I’m familiar and comfortable with, I’m going to choose to let go and trust God for my wings.
To date I have raised $700 in one-time support and $300 in monthly support. My goal (after reviewing budgetary items) is $3000 in one-time support and $800 in monthly support (and of course unlimited prayer support!). Please consider partnering with me financially! Your financial support allows you to become a part in impacting the lives of hurting teens and point them to a deeper relationship with God.

“What if I jump and I find I was always made to fly? What if the days I’m walking into are the best of my whole life? What if the things that I dream become my reality? When it looks impossible but still works out—what if that’s what faith’s about?”
