Thank You for your teaching on transition. Change -major change has come into my life and changes are to still come, I have been transition for the last year or more. Seems as if we foreran what others are about to enter into or just recently entered into. We personally have a way yet to go til we get to where we are to be.

Jan.2010 my husband had to close the business we had, laying off employees etc... leaving us with no income, I have worked for him for the last 15 yrs and the last 6 with no pay. The Lord stepped in and provided a job which came looking for him. He was looking for work elsewhere with no results. In March he was contacted by the head of a leading company and asked if he would come and work for them., but we had to move from Pa to Florida. He had to move to Florida by June and his pay wouldn't start til then. We sold what we could to live on and to get moved. He moved in June, leaving me to pack up and get rid of most of what was in our home and business. It was really hard for me, but I had a great church family that helped me, (/They helped us with our bills etc... food the last 2 yrs while our company was failing - barely making payroll. I was dealing with fear and anxiety like I never knew I had, but I kept standing on You promise to deliver me from ALL my fears Abba. I finally got moved to Florida at the end of September with a friend who drove me and our dog in the Uhaul. I have a hard time driving long distances and I am a country girl and I was not used to heavy traffic let alone such a big vehicle. My daughter took over our home, but later was not able to continue, so our home has just gone into foreclosure. :( We do have to go through bankrupcy because we are too far in debt, we tried not to, but at this time we have no choice, yet I am trusting the Lord. He told me that all our debts would be forgiven by the end of the year, He made great emphasis on "forgiven'. I am thankful for the provision of this job, we are leaving in a small apartment in comparison to a large home on a half acre of ground in the mountains of Pa., yet I know that God has a plan for us here and this is where He has relocated us. I keep telling myself this is the place of His Provision. My husband does have a very good job with benefits which we never had before. We are living still in transition, in a transition home. My perspective in life has changed drastically, I hear the word 'simplify', we don't even want to own another home ... we are in our 50's and as we grow older maintaining a home eventually may be too much for us, so this move has made it easier on me to make that transition for I really did love the home God gave me. I do like our apt and where we are living. The church we are attending is in transition themselves and I have to seriously consider finding a job that would support me esp if something would happen to my husband. Hate to say that but I believe it something I do have to consider. I would have to go back to school to be trained for a position where I could possibly make an income that would support me. I never had to do this in the past, but the Lord is challenging me not only to learn to drive in the traffic here, but to seriously consider education and a new career. So you can see why your teaching has been such a God send to me. My husband, Dale only goes to church on Sunday and he really isn 't walking in the Kingdom principles, but I am believing in time he would be more opened to do so. At times I do become fearful concerning Dale's lack of intimate relationship with the Lord and His Word, so this is a big area I am working on overcoming. I choose to trust the Lord to work in my husband's life for him to make the right lifestyle choices for us and if not, to trust in the Lord's provision and protection in spite of it. Change me Abba and help me rest.
Thank You once again and God bless you many times over. We are blessed.
