"Transition is a funny place because there's no real way to hurry it. It exists as long as it wants to, as long as it has to, before the next thing begins ... There's this awkward moment where no one knows which table belongs to whom - this sort of hold-your-breath piece of time where you hope everything works out the way it should. Things just seem to hang in the balance. Transition might not be cozy, but it's necessary. It's the only way. Think about it. There is no other way to start something new." - Prodigal Magazine

In what ways are you experiencing transition? How are you handling it? Growing from it? Asking for help and support in it?
As I sit here about to publish this post, I am realizing two things. One being that the tone on this blog has changed. My life these days is full of uncertainty and unknown, and I am fighting for space in my life to actually think and pray through what's happening. My days are up and down, high and low, and I am finding it hard to stay sunshine-y positive all the time. And I think that's okay. Healthy, even. Number two? I am very intentionally taking time and space away from the internet during Lent. I am no longer active on Facebook or Twitter, and debated about removing my blog as well. But blogging can be a very useful processing tool, and I don't want to stop writing just for the sake of following a rule. I will continue to post on here as it's appropriate and as I have time, but for most of the next month, I want to carve out space to listen, think, process, and decide. How are you making space to be more intentional during Lent?
