Preparing for change and transition is a process that most would like to avoid if at all possible, but it is a commonality that we all share. As long as there is life, there will be change and transition; some more difficult than others but necessary for growth and progression. Could your struggles connote a fight against the process of change? Could God be leading you down the path of righteousness for His name's sake while you decide on constant detours that lead to remaining the same? Reexamine. Reassess and stop fighting the process.

Processing is not olnly preparing for change and transition (which to be honest I had not looked at it like that before and actually makes it a lot easier becuase you know that something is coming out of this)...but it hurts for most of us, especially the purging part of the process.
When the fire gets hot and we begin to be stretched beyond what we know are comfortable with we tend to become bent out of shape.
We dont like the process becuase it calls us out of our comfort zone, a zone that so many us like to stay in.
I saw a post on Facebook that said mediocrity is the mundane life that people who are careful live. When I saw that I was like "wow, that is so true"; lately I have been feeling like I was taking too many chances, having "too much" faith, giving those as reasons as to why my struggles right now existed. But then I realized; yeah they were the reason, not in a bad way, but in a way that God is streching me out of my comfort zone. I had become comfortable with the way my business was being operated, I had beome content with the money I was making, I knew I needed more, but I didnt have a strong flesh feeling, yearning, I mean a REAL yearning to do so much more or the Kingdom.
Being complacent in our comfort zone and not willing to go through the process to get to promotion is dangerous becuase the Kingdom needs us to do and go so much farther than we are right now. God is so much bigger than this!!!!
I admonish us to go through the process, we may not like it nor does it feel good. I'm sure if the rocks that starts off being purged and processed before becoming diamonds and gold could talk, they would say I didn't like it either, but it is so worth it in the end.
