Here we go, 

Lessons Learned in 2+ Years of Living in Transition:

These are in no particular order.  Most of these things I would say I "knew" prior to these past two years because I read them in the Bible but I can now say that I "experientially" know them.  There is a BIG difference.  Be encouraged today.

• God is good and has a good plan for you.
• Stretching hurts... but is good for your mind, body and soul.
• Everything God does is PURPOSEFUL.  He does NOTHING haphazardly. 
• Weeping may last for the night (or two or three or four!) but joy DOES come--even if it is not as soon as you might want.
• If you truly give your whole self to Jesus, He will lead you into places you had never imagined possible.
• The Lord will never give you any more than you can handle (even if you feel differently).
• If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS.
• You want adventure?  Jesus has one for you.
• When you step out in faith, onto what seems like thin air, God comes in all His fullness and provides a firm place to walk on.
• Jesus TRULY IS close to the brokenhearted.
• It is ok to cry.  A lot even.  :)
• God DOES hear our cries.
• God makes ALL things work together for my good.
• Staying in the presence of God as much as possible is KEY.  Otherwise, fear, doubt, and unbelief can easily creep in (not to mention all sorts of other ugly sin!).
• Our Lord is kind and tender and he deals with us COMPASSIONATELY.
• When God's timing is right, His provision comes.  Not any sooner or later.
• If God has given you a promise, pray for it and keep praying.  Knock and keep knocking, He WILL answer and bring that promise to fruition in His time--so don't give up!
• If you lack wisdom or faith, ask God to give you all you need.  He will.
• If you struggle with unbelief, ask God to help you in your unbelief.  He will.  
• God is more faithful to us than we can imagine.
• God knows us better than we know ourselves.  Spend some good quality time with Him, He always has good & encouraging things to say to you.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you were encouraged today.

Blessings,
