3 // Navigating the Emotions of Back to School and Hard Transition Seasons While Trusting God in Uncertainty

Hey! In today’s episode, I’ll be talking about how to navigate the hard emotions brought on by back to school and seasons of transition in a healthy way. The subject of this episode is a very personal one to me as I share my own story and current journey. I'll discuss 5 common emotions that are involved with seasons of change like this and provide scripture verses I cling to in times like this and reflection questions to guide you to God’s truth and hearing God's voice.   This morning, as I sit with my bible and coffee, I reflect on so many of the feelings this day brings... joy, sadness, excitement, fear, hope and even dread. Today, this mama feels anxious and sad. These feelings grow in intensity as I watch my son get ready for his first day of public high school. This is a huge transition for our once homeschooling family. I can’t help but wonder if my husband and I have done enough to equip our son for this new chapter. Guilt, condemnation and fear can easily creep in, but I quickly remind myself the TRUTH and where my help comes from. Parenting is hard and watching my boys grow up can be heartbreaking! But it's good... growing pains. I'm sure you can relate! Let’s dive in and meet with the Lord together in today's episode.
