Oh sweet transition time

Posted: 20. August 2021 by Ramona

If you have known me for a little bit you have probably heard me talk about the in between time, the sweet transition time. As we go through seasons in life, there will be seasons of transition.

I have been thinking about this for a while now and I already mentioned here how my life was pretty much figured out as a single. I had things under control. But I also very much remember a conversation with God a few years back where I said that if he wants to bring about change I will give up everything, my singleness that I felt so comfortable in and everything.

This has truly been the biggest blessing but as change does, it brings with it transitioning from one season to the next. Transition time is not always fun and there will be times when you want to give up but I believe that there is a beautiful blessing on the other side, sweet moments, growth and new dreams. That is why we absolutely have to keep going.

I listened to this podcast the other day and it was so funny how I was planning to write on transition time and this podcast was also talking about it. In a nutshell it said that just as you have to push out the baby during child birth right after what is called “transition time” you have to keep going during the transition time of your life because it is usually when you want to give up and not continue.

Now I do not want to give up being married. That is not my point here 🙂 Life is changing and add Covid to it; it sometimes can feel like a lot. As a type 4 in the enneagram, my tendency in seasons like this is to escape into my dream world, to shut everything off so I do not have to deal with it.

Encouragement to make it through the transition time

However, I have also learned that the transition time can be beautiful if you trust God to bring you through. You will have to put in work to grow or you might have to reassess. You might have to feel the pulse of your dreams and of you calling. It could be that you have to change some habits and be more intentional about your life. It is also important during this time (as in all seasons) to have the right people around you to help you keep going.

If anything, though, I want to encourage you today to keep going. If everything around you is changing, choose joy, choose to keep the course, choose to work on yourself and become a better person.

You might not see the end of it yet and I do not know how long your transition time will be but I guarantee you, you will come out on the other side evolving into a new beautiful and wonderful season because abundance and beauty can be found in any season of life.

Much love

Ramona
