I'm in a season of in between. Actually it feels like it's been a century, but being that I tend to be a bit dramatic, I recognize that it really hasn't been that long.
The season of in between, it's something I absolutely love and completely despise at the same time.
The in between is the most hellish spot to be in, because you aren't in the new yet, and there's remnants of the old and tired - things I want to leave behind, move away from.
The in between brings me joy because it means I'm moving from the old into something new, something different. It is a place of learning. Being removed enough from what has happened to see where there was failure, where there was success, and where there's room for growth.
So here I am in the in between, looking ahead. I can see there are things on the horizon that have great promise and potential, but they are yet to be reality. The truth is they may never be reality. As I move closer I might find that they weren't what they appeared to be from a distance and may be something much greater than what I imagined. They might simply be a mirage, a dangling carrot to help move me out of the desert that is the in between. The things I hope for and long for today may not be the things I even consider tomorrow. I'm excited about what is to come - whatever it is.
Today I am thankful for the in between. It's not always comfortable or where I want to be, but in this season, I feel like I've grown and learned more than other times I was hanging out in the in between.
So until the next new shiny chapter, you can find me here in the in between.
