Transition

When Rosa Parks stepped onto the bus and sat down in the front of it, she had already determined that the past of moving to the back of the bus was over. She didn't know what the future held but she determined that she would never move back to the bus again; that is called transition! By Gene Quiocho

Transition Builders:

• Are you in a place of transition?
• If you are, what steps are you taking now, that will position you in the right condition for transition?

The Process of Change

The process of change is "to". To takes you from one stage to another. It is the bridge that connects the past and the future. A walkway that leads you away from the present. The number 2 expresses an exchange of position, or a move of location. 2 opens up the change of state. To is the catalyst of transition.

Transition of Emotion

A lot of times, we do not necessarily go through things...we are taken through them. We know this because we say "The Lord is taking me through this for a reason" or we say "The Lord is the only one sustaining me"...things like that. We acknowledge and recognize that all of the emotions we experience is because we are given the priviledge to understand them. These emotions range from joy, to sorrow, to rest, to anxiety, to comfort, to happiness, to insomnia, to overjoyed, to restlessness, to settled, to distracted, to smiling, to frustrated, to focused, to flabergasted, to amazed....the list goes on and on. These different emotions do not necessarily happen to us in any particular order, they just sort of happen! One after the other! Think about it. God knows just what we can handle however, the key is staying in a place of prayer and praise. Our emotions will only run as wild as we let it...right? You have to mentally alter your thoughts and bring them to a place of surrender unto God. Psalm 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. The process of change is to mentally take yourself from one stage of thought to another. It is the bridge that connects the past and the future. It is the walkway that leads you away from the present location. It is a choice to make an exchange of position, a transition of your emotions.
