Everyone
seeks meaning and purpose for their life, even if what they choose appears misguided
or foolish. What gave meaning and purpose at an earlier time can lose
significance as we are forced by age or circumstance to move to another phase
of life. Adam and Eve were forced from the Garden of Eden to a place of change
and challenge.
At some point we're forced to leave what
we construct or what was designed for us.
This most often happens in mid-life just when a career or lifestyle appears to
be secure. Consider the stay-at-home mom who out of necessity is forced to
resume a profession that had been set aside for a higher calling.
Remaining
fixated when change is demanded may blind us to present and future
opportunities. The good news is that God can do his best work with us in times
of transition. Romans 12:2 can be your confidence. "Do not be conformed to
the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete
change of your mind." What a wonderful choice!
