This is a place I find myself coming back to time and time again. I often feel as if I am on the cusp of something great or some new revelation, so it can be frustrating to not know what the next step is or how to take it. One thing I have learned is that you do have to be willing to let go of your old self or your old life in order to embrace what is next. You’ve got this, my friend. I can’t wait to see what’s next for you!

I’m the same! I always want to know what’s coming next but I had to learn how to surrender. It was the toughest thing I had to do in my life. Gotta have Faith!

Well… All I can say is that there’s so much I would like to share, but I can say that I can relate. The few times I shared my story with anyone I found myself giving them tissue and reassuring them that it’s alright than I did telling the story of how I like to say, “How I got over” as a nod to the hymn, but I like how you framed it, “How to survive the between.”

Surviving the between for me has been a walk of faith and learning to not be govern by sight. Accepting reality that those I’ve helped them ‘survive the between’, encouraged or supported do not have or know how to do the same for me. That was probably my hardest lesson. Anyway, the post isn’t about me lol.

How to survive the between? Learning to trust the process. I’ll stop here, before I get started, but I truly appreciate what you had to share in your post.

You make a great point! And I’m so happy that this issue resonated with you so well. Everyone has their own version of what being in the “between” means for them. Thanks for sharing yours!
