Summoned: Stepping Up to Live and Lead With JesusÖrnek

Lost in Transition

Transitions are in-between times—living in the already but the not yet. A move from the familiar to the unfamiliar. A move from the way things have been to the way they will be. A move from the old to the new. They can take from as little as three months to as long as six years.

Transitions combine this weird blend of positive and negative, of helpful and painful. They try your faith and stretch your soul. You’ll be tempted to rush through them, to get out of them as quickly as possible. Instead, choose to stay with them. Let God use them to do a work in your heart, to get you what you need for the next chapter of living and leading with Jesus. Ask Jesus to meet you in the waiting and to sustain you there. His work in you will bring you through to the other side with deeper humility, stronger character and greater reliance on him.
