Mastering the Art of Transition

Transition is an art. Unfortunately, I have not mastered it yet, and I am definitely under construction. I don’t have the answers, but I am blessed to know the One who does.

In early June 2021, my husband and I rather suddenly decided to move to a retirement community in a new town. We sorted through our belongings from fifty years of marriage, down-sized, sold our house, and moved, all in five weeks.

I was going to settle in, write my blog, and wait patiently for the remodeling of our home while living in a one-bedroom apartment. All I did was wait (and not patiently). I have written nothing in six months, and I am behind in answering two hundred comments. Please allow me to apologize to those who have been gracious enough to leave those comments.

My intentions from this point are to write and to take time to respond regularly, to take time to meet new friends and cherish the old, and to live each day with gratitude for the blessings I have received.

Each of us will encounter times of transition. You may be a young person looking to your future. You may be newly married, a harried parent, or an empty nester. You may be in the sandwich generation with needy children and/or parents squeezing your life. You may be a senior citizen wondering just what “the golden years” are.

Whatever you are facing, I can assure you that If you know Him, God is walking before you and will never leave or forsake you. He has your name written on the palm of His hand, and He has a plan for each step you make,  even when you cannot see where it leads. He is waiting patiently to guide you through your current season, and the wonderful truth is He is only a prayer away.

Life has unexpected turns, and I have to admit this transition has seemed more difficult in our golden years. However, I have no regrets,  and I am eagerly waiting to see what God has planned for us in this new season. I hope you will continue the journey with us.

There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the
