Transitions

Transitions are always such a weird time in life; especially when it seems like an overall, overhaul of your life! I wonder sometimes why we are such gluttons for "stuff" when all it does is change us. My current transition is such that I am learning humility in a very real way. A lot of my material trappings are being stripped away and it is quite the transition! In Idaho, I had a great paying job that I loved (even if it did suck a lot of my personal life away), a GORGEOUS house virtually on the riverfront, a fun roomie, unparalleled natural beauty all around me and access to a lot of great outdoor fun.
I gave that all up for homesickness to move back to Baltimore/DC, live in a 1-bedroom apartment, still did the job I loved until I didn't love it anymore, gave that up for a slower-paced job, moved out of my apt (b/c I couldn't afford it anymore) into a friend's house, and had to learn to live with people again. The funny thing is, I have no permanent residence right now and I am content. I've always been a bit of a gypsy, but this is borderline homeless!! LOL!! And God still helps me to remain content. I am learning to be content in all circumstances!
HA! That just came to me! Phil 4:12 - "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."
HUH - God you rock!
