You’ve been here
awhile and it’s time to move on
The darkness has lifted
Adventure wakes with the dawn
Ready or not
Hold your breath for the plunge
A new chapter awaits
As you celebrate victories won
Beauty from ashes and healing through pain
He’s been so faithful
Abundant life – you’ve gained!
Every journey is unique
So, I don’t know what it’s like for you
But if this page turning is hard
I hope this encourages
I hope it rings true
You might be amazed and awestruck
As your Savior restores
Those places in your heart, forgotten and ignored
Bittersweet lingers on your tongue
Savor, don’t fight it
You’re not at an end
You’ve only just begun
Let the love saturate
It’s a precious season
Today – this day, you’ll never live it again
Take time to laugh
Take time to cry
Take time to let Jesus wipe the tears from your eyes
Everything familiar, everything learned
Brace yourself – your world’s about to turn
Transition is hard
Change often hurts
It’s humbling to stumble and fall in the dirt
The schedule, the people, the comfort of home
It’s about to shift to the new and unlearned
Don’t fear, sweet sister
There’s good things ahead of you
No matter what happens, no matter what comes
You might feel unsteady,
But, you won’t come undone
You can tremble and quake
Fall apart at His feet
You can shout out for joy
And laugh until you weep
You can be nervous, excited, or a mix of the two
You can be nothing at all
Just be true, BE YOU!
You’ve got this
I know, because He’s got you!
You’re world may be shaken
But He remains steady, unchanging, and true
Every detail and concern – it matters
He loves you!
The same God who met you
He’ll meet you again
And again and again
He understands, when no one else can
He’s walked with you so far
He won’t abandon ship now
Let Him calm your fears
Let Him hold you steady
Everything else may change
You might be stripped of familiarity
But run back to the One
Who’s got your back for eternity
Don’t forget those sweet things He’s whispered in your ear
Don’t forget the truth you’ve learned about Him here
When you walk out those doors
The lies will come
Just remember this, He doesn’t change
He is steady, He is love
His heartbeat is consistent
His touch is familiar
You have priority access to be held
In the safety of His arms
His voice still rings out, above the noise all around
This world gives way
But He won’t let you down
When you feel far away
When you feel all alone
Hold onto His hand
As He leads the way through the storm
Peace and joy met you here
But it was His master plan
He’s the Abba who formed you
Your name is written on His hand
Steady now, beautiful one
His presence is in store
This one thing He’ll prove
Steady as His heartbeat
His hand will steady you
The darkness has lifted
Adventure wakes with the dawn
Ready or not
Hold your breath for the plunge
A new chapter awaits
