Transitions…

So…it’s midnight on Sunday and I am suppose to be in the bed getting some much needed sleep for a busy week I have ahead of me. But, I am still up thinking and wondering how much my life has been in transition over the last 5 years. First it was transiting from college to married life, hello wake-up call! I love married life now, but since I wasn’t the type of girl growing up that day-dreamed about it, I really didn’t know what to expect. I am happy to report that in December, Robby and I will have been married for 5 years!
Then there was the transition to working full-time at the newspaper in Troy, then the transition to working for the university, which I loved and to this day miss. But the hardest transition so far was moving to Columbus. No friends, no family, no contacts…nothing but my faith and husband. Then there was the job transition from CSU back to the university, this was a big step in responsibility for me. I have enjoyed this job, but it’s brought about more stress in my life than I care to have! There were nights I would lay awake thinking about work, not being able to shut it off. Of course, I was trusting in the Lord but I still felt the weight on my shoulders. I don’t think I could bare the thought of standing in front of Dr. Hawkins and explaining why the campus didn’t meet the goals.
Now I am transitioning to CrossPointe…and it can’t come fast enough! I am really nervous because the one thing I don’t want to do is disappoint people. This is also a big transition in lifestyle too. Robby and I no longer have separate checking accounts (we won’t need them anymore) so my spending will be monitored now. Let’s just say I have fears about this transition but as always I am trusting in something that is greater than myself!
So here’s to transitions, each time it gives us an opportunity to grow, trust and build our faith…
Now on to some much needed sleep!
