One thing that I realized last night that people don't ever talk about is the transition time between the big stuff.
I was having a conversation last night with a friend and I began to realize that
GOD LOVES TRANSITIONS.
I have heard many times people use the verse "going from glory to glory" and that is great. But I think that people get into this routine that "glory" means BIG, HUGE LIFE CHANGE. I think that is a huge error.
We love thinking that we know what is going on and that we have control of our lives.
I want everyone who reads this blog to do something for me right now.
STOP READING AND THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU WANNA BE IN 5 YEARS.
I know that people ask that question alot and if we think about it. How does it usually sound.
FINANCIAL SECURITY, FAMILY, GOOD JOB, NICE HOUSE, LIVING MY DREAM.
It is not a question that only applies to kids and teens. It is something that we all think about.
But rarely will you hear someone answer that question like this.
I want a 6 month period where I don't have a job. I want to know what what is going on in my life. I want to get into a huge fight with my wife and agree to not agree.
I doubt it.
Because we don't like transitions. We don't.
WHY?
Because we want to get right into the next thing. We want to have no down time. We hate sitting around.
But I think that God loves the transitions of our lives because it makes us sweat a little. We hate down time. Some people say the love it but You know they dont. U think that you don't get anything accomplished with down time.
Lets use the example of a Broadway show.
If you were watching a great show, paid lots of money to sit where your sitting . and after every scene, they stopped. Dead silence. and right into the next thing. No music, no dropping of the curtain. U just watched everything stop. I would hate to go from a hugely emotional scene where everyone dies but 2 people and then 2 seconds late be in a huge festival all loud and everything.
No one wants that.
God Gives us transitions for a reason. To get us to slow down. To take some time to get ourselves together. Pay off bills, work.
Cherish the transitions in Life. Just make sure you get something out of it and dont just get by waiting for the next
GLORY
