When difficult or unwanted change enters our lives, it can cause
fear, anxiety, and anger to bubble up from within. We want to quiet
that simmering stress, but how do we do that, especially when we
know our circumstances aren't going to calm down any time soon? By
regularly meeting with God and exchanging our worries and fears for
his assurances that he is using our difficult change for us, not
against us. Easier said than done? Not if you have Kristen Strong
alongside you as your understanding guide. Offering thoughtful,
humorous anecdotes and powerful prayers to recite, Strong invites
you to think and feel differently about change on the inside so you
can live and love differently on the outside. As the tender
companion she is, Kristen will show you how not to get over
difficult change but rather to get through it. She'll help you
acknowledge your change, give your anxieties over to God, and abide
well in the days to come--no matter what transitions life brings.
At one time or another, shifting seasons in family, friendships,
employment, and communities will bring each of us face-to-face with
the feeling of being on the outside looking in. Because we are made
for connection, this will often lead us down one of two roads.
Either we will hop on the popular but crowded highway that asks us
to do whatever it takes to get noticed, or we'll stand still,
paralyzed by the fear that we're not important, loveable, or worth
other people's time and attention. But what if there is another
way? With an understanding voice that will speak into your own
circumstances, Kristen Strong walks beside you along the less
traveled but more satisfying third way--the back road way--to
belonging: remaining in Christ and relaxing into the unique role
God has for you. Along the way, you will learn simple, doable
actions that not only will help you feel and know that you belong
but will welcome others in as well.
Whether chosen and celebrated--like going off to college or
welcoming your first baby--or unexpected and anxiety-inducing--like
losing a job or grappling with a broken trust--all change brings
stress. Kristen Strong knows about change--especially the kind you
didn't choose or expect. What she's fought hard to learn over the
years is that change is not something to be feared but something to
be received as a blessing from a God who, more often than not,
works through change, not in spite of it. Strong has learned to see
change not as a grievance but as a grace. In this hope-filled book,
she shows women how when we follow God's will, we receive blessings
of contentment, purpose, and renewed strength. She encourages women
to see change not as the end of their story but as the scenery for
this part of life's journey. And she offers practical advice for
coping with change in every part of life. Anyone who has struggled
to adjust to life's transitions will welcome this warm and personal
perspective.
