Repositioned for Transition

It's Sunday and bishop's word was about changing your circumstances. He spoke from the story of Jesus changing water to wine. Bishop took it from the perspective that when Jesus asked for the water to be brought to the wedding spot he was setting it up for transitioning. Just the water was set up for transition so are we.

God places us in unfamiliar situations so that we can learn a lesson in preparation for what he has for us next in our life. What I took from this is that I should consider my trials and tribulations or tough situations as a repositioning readying me for transition.

So I'm trying to think about what's going on in my life at this moment.

1. I have joined the Young Leaders Council which in my opinion is out of my league and a step in committed growth and outreach which I wholeheartedly signed up for and it was on my list of goals for 2009 so, I consider that success. Is that repositioning for transition? Yes, I think so.

2. The director has asked me to head up an evaluation of the program she is responsible for implementing. The evaluation is at least a 1-2 year evaluation. The first for me in what I hope to be a long line of significant program evaluations. Is this reposition for transition? Yes. My direct in-house supervisor only saw fit to give me work that I consider tedious and monotonous.

3. I currently for the 1st time have no prospective gentlemen callers and I'm okay with that. I wouldn't say totally okay but I am more okay than I have ever been in the past. Would I consider this repositioning for transistion? Yes. I'm coming to realize that I need to do better. I deserve better and I can do better. I have been settling for too long and it's only caused severe damage to my emotions, will, and desire.

There are other repositioning situations that have happened this year but for the most part, there's only one that really matters and sets the tone for all the rest. It's my way of seeing things. My way of looking at situations. My way of accepting who I am, who I need to be, and what I need to do to make changes. Destiny is my soul purpose for being. If I'm not focused on my destiny then I'm headed in the wrong direction.

As God works transition in my life the only thing I can do is ready myself for the respositioning, be a willing participant, grasp the lessons I'm suppose to learn, and allow God full rein over my life. Follow his steps and lead by example.

What's your respositioning mantra? Where are you going? Where have you been? What have you learned? Have you been transformed in a way that you recognize only God could do? What's your destiny? What's your purpose? Who do you serve? Where are you going?

Blue Moon

Feelin a little blue today. Every 28 days it kinda haphazardly gets that way.
I'm extra tired for no reason at all.
Especially when I have so much work I need to do.
It seems I get this feeling of eerie misty blue.
I'm sad, mad, irritated, and depressed.
Not really in the mood to do anything. I just leave everything a mess.
I'm thirsty, grumpy, moody, and stiff.
There's no helping me through this from God above it's only a gift.
Ibuprofen tries to dim my pain
but if its not taken early I'm so way going totally insane!
The drama is so unbearable it would be be nice to sleep in bed allllll week.
The blood in my entire body is being sapped right out of me like a rushing creak!
OH GOD! OH GOD! YYYYYYY FROM THAT TREE DID YOU LET EVE EAT?
Guess its not his fault. We have freedom of choice.
But I really wish he had a spoke up just a little louder so Eve could hear his voice.
That old satan, he can't be the blame.
He was just doing what he can to lay claim to his name and fame.
Adam is the one that should have been there and stood watch.
Leaving Eve uncovered like that.
Onward and forward to our destruction she did march.
HA!
What a crime we have committed ourselves to.
To be the one who carries the meaning of life for two.
There is a softer more subtle and delightful side to this.
Making love and having babies is sometimes welcomed and comforting total bliss.

But at this moment! This Moment Right HERE!
DAMN TO HELL ADAM AND EVE for the crap we have to now go through!
I dont know about you, but I'd rather not have these moments of
unapologetic, gastrological, back aching, ball-up-in-a-fetus-and-beg-for-mercy bouts of being blue!

Couldn't Adam just have chilled out wit Eve and kept her in his sight?
But we can't fully blame the dude
Eve was a girl and she should have known what not to do and what was right.
The devil never could tempt Jesus off the mountain to give into what he knew was not true.
Why couldn't have Eve and saved us from a life of misery, subdue, and feeling blue?
