b'Have you ever felt stuck between two phases of life? I know I have. The \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153in-between times,\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d as I like to call them, can be really difficult to navigate. \\nMaybe you\\u2019re moving from middle to high school. Maybe your parents are splitting up and you have to live in two households. Maybe you\\u2019re moving between schools, churches, cities, or states. No matter what, times of transition are difficult and filled with many unknowns.\\nIn the middle of in-between times, I try to hurry into the next stage of life. I get too focused on the future to see what God is showing me in the present. Instead of pausing to dig into God\\u2019s Word and talk to Jesus about what I\\u2019m going through, I attempt to take control\\u2014forgetting I\\u2019m not in control of the life God has given me.\\nEvery day, I have to remind myself to \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153be still\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d and look for what God wants me to see in the in-between times (Psalm 46:10). It\\u2019s definitely a process! But when I do forget to rest in Him and His promises, the Lord reminds me to give myself the grace He has already given me.\\nAs you wait, remember: the next stage is coming\\u2026but all in His perfect timing. Jesus is working all things together for His good kingdom purposes, and He will finish the work He started (Romans 8:28; Philippians 1:6). \\u2022 Abigail Ortego\\n\\u2022 When in your life have you felt stuck in between two phases? \\n\\u2022 What did you learn about God during those in-between times? \\n\\u2022 As Christians, we\\u2019re all in an in-between time as we wait for Jesus to come back and make all things new (Revelation 21:1-5). Reread today\\u2019s Scripture passages. While we wait, what promises from God can we rest in?\\nBe still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.
