Moving Through Transition

Life as you know it is over.  The thought hit me like a ton of bricks.  I felt sick to my stomach. 

A career opportunity presented itself and my husband accepted a position in Chicago.  While I never imagined leaving Maryland for the Windy City, I embraced the idea.  I looked forward to the new beginning and anticipated having the opportunity to pursue some of my own personal goals.  Moreover, I knew that God was in control and had great things in store for us.  I could not turn my resignation letter in fast enough! 

However, after the last box was unpacked and the dust settled, I found myself depressed.  All of my support systems were gone.  I was in a new city.  I no longer had my family and friends.  I no longer had my job.  Plus, the weather was terrible – I could not wrap my mind around how cold it was – even the sunshine was gone. 

Lord Jesus, I gave up my job!  

I lost my sense of self.  Who am I supposed to be now?
