As we continue our journey into transformation and finding our highest self, full of confidence, resilience and grace, God will bring us into an isolated space of our own.

A space to really connect to our beliefs, a space to connect to our faith, our identity and our core values.

This space feels like we’re all alone; this space was meant for us to find grace and who we are in Christ.

This is a space where it’s just you, the passenger, and God, the bus driver.

As Joyce Meyer puts it; at every bus stop somebody has got to get off.

As we move from the now to the future, we will find ourselves in the space between where we may not have all the people around us as we once did.

People may not understand the journey that we’re on, they may not know how to support it, they may not want the same experiences that you want. They may not understand that you want different experiences.

As we continue we often find that we look around us and realize that we are alone and we feel disconnected to people who were once in our lives.

But God has brought us out of the old and into this in between space so that we have no security in anything or anyone else but God, because this is the type of faith, this is the type of trust, this is the type of grace, is what we need in order to move into what’s ahead of us.

It’s painful most often, because we’re not prepared for this.

It’s painful because it’s unfamiliar.

We are so hardwired to be social beings and we long for that connection that when it’s gone, when we feel disconnected from people, we often feel ashamed or guilty or doubtful that we are doing something wrong. It feels like we’re losing people in our lives when in fact we’re not losing anything, God is simply removing. In order to get to the place that he has laid out for you, complete with like minded people who love, support and encourage you, and in order to get to a place where we have deep meaningful relationships, we have to show up as our complete selves.

So God gives us a space to shake everything that is unstable in our lives, to remove everything that no longer serves us in order to prepare us, and to build up the things that we have been asking for so that we can step into our new life, our new transformation, fully armed and prepared in order to sustain and grow in the way he wants us to.

We can’t show up unprepared or as who we are today, so we need to take the space and embrace it to find who it is that we truly are.

This space uncovers your identity. It allows you to  rediscover yourself, take care of yourself, find that true faith that you say that you have, trust like you have  never trusted before.

Allow that space to be just you and God and ask him to prepare you through the pain  and trust him through the pain because this is the pain that brings you into a better place,  it is not a pain that keeps you in the same cycle and gets you nowhere.

Learn to trust him and find his grace in this space.
