Over the last several weeks God has really been speaking to me about transitions. As I began to process the things in which Father was speaking to me, I began to realize that transition was happening all around me. Our family, our church, and many ways with me personally.
Our family:
My wife is due with our third child in one week from today. Our youngest has been out of diapers for a couple of years, so this will definitely be a major transitions. Diapers and formula will once again be common place in my home. This is a major transition.
Our Church:
Since October began our churches changes have kept pace with falling of leaves here in Wisconsin. Earlier this month I attended the SMI Conference Summit Ministries International Leadership Conference in Lubbock, Texas. The conference was on Preaching the Word with power and anointing. It was an amazing conference that not only confirmed several of the transitions that God has been laying on my heart, but it also ignited a fire for a new level of creativity and ingenuity.
Through processing the things I learned and gleaned from that conference our church is in the process of transitioning how we handle several processes. We are looking at how our presentation software is used in our services, how our Life Group guides are distributed and followed up on. I have been working on my preaching by transitioning my preparation process and my format/style.
There are more transitions that we are working on, and those of you who are Overflowers will get to see them in the coming weeks.
Personally:
In many ways this the hardest of the three to deal with and make sure the transition is smooth. In early October I joined a local gym and have been working our regularly for almost a month now. The working out is wonderful, and I love the refreshed feeling that I have as I head to the office.
In addition, to working out I have focused on my eating. I am by no means perfect, but the 5 fruits & vegetables in addition to watching the amount I eat. I am eating about 50% less than I did 6 to 8 weeks ago.
Those are the MAJOR transitions in my life right now, any new ones in your life?
