Transition...

The dictionary defines transition like this:

• passage: the act of passing from one state or place to the next
• conversion: an event that results in a transformation
• a change from one place or state or subject or stage to another

This is a season of great transition for me... I am transitioning into a new position at work, my department at work is transitioning (big time!), and at the same time I am preparing to transition out of this place entirely and into the next season...

What's funny is that my heart has never been more tightly knit to a group of people than it is in this moment. I absolutely love the people I am partnering in ministry with and the girls I work with. I don't know why, but it's like my heart has been opened in greater measure to love those I am partnering with. It's inexpressible.

I'll confess that a part of me wants to close my heart off a bit because I know I'll be leaving soon. Leaving Tulsa was one of the hardest things I've ever done and I know that I will miss this place and people even more than that. But I can't be shut off. My heart has been torn open and I'm just oozing out all over.

It's good, I know. Jesus is ever faithful to put His heart in me. I trust His wisdom. I trust His love.

Anyway, that's my musing... transition. It's a good word.
