When I chose the name of my first blog, Mom in Transition, I felt like I was just that. I am a mom. (duh) I had just taken a personality/spiritual gifts test on line and did not fit into one of the four categories listed.

It said I was in transition.

I still feel that way, and I wanted to keep that in my blog title somehow when I switched over. (Plus Mom in Transition was already taken for Blogspot and Wordpress.)

I am in transition...

...as far as growing in Christ. I better be always growing in Him, or there's really no use for me here.

...as I have two boys home with me each day in school, but only for about five more years when all my kids will be graduated from high school.

...as I think I am over wanting to have any more children, and then in an instant my heart opens up and I realize I could take in another child on the spot.

...and as a wife and friend and leader in my church.

So, I am happily in transition, because it means I am growing and moving.

And the "S" is because my name starts with an "S". I thought it was pretty cute and clever (Thanks, Liz!), though it took me a while to realize that when I type it out it looks like the sin transition.

That's one transition I'd rather avoid, thanks.
