Temporary Problem? Time to Set Up the Tent!!

April 15, 2012/in NACWE Lifestyle Blog/by Heather Rosson

Are you in the midst of a transition, personal or business change?   Perhaps you find yourself in an unexpected loss or stubborn relationship issue. If so, there may very well be some ‘desert crossings’ you’ll inevitably need to make in order to reach your desired oasis of resolved issues, completed transitions or positive fresh change.

The situation, transition or change you face may seem like a vast desert at times ~~ forlorn, lonely, endless and virtually uninhabited.   Yet, there you find yourself. So what’s an innovative person to do in this unwelcomed desert expanse?

Time to set up a tent, of course!

And if you are going to be a good tent-dweller, however temporary, here are a few guidelines.   Remember, tents are temporary, provide limited shelter, but work well for intermittent life ‘camping out’ experiences.

  • Know your tent-time is temporary. Since problems and change are part of your desert trip, pitch your tent, purpose to dwell and ponder well.  Ask the tough questions of yourself, of others and of God.
  • Confidently expect change.  Don’t get too cozy in the tent-dwelling mode.  Snoop around outside the tent, you may spy some other passers-by that could give some sage advice, wise counsel and much needed friendship.   Take in and absorb what you need —trusting and knowing that change is imminent.  Problems will resolve.  Relationships heal.   The winds of change always come.
  • When the winds of change come—purpose your heart to yield.   The wind gusts at times may prove a bit unsettling.   Yet trust this fresh wind to move you and your situation for the better.  Contrary to what may seem logical or feel safe, choose not to hunker down in the tent.  The wind is here!  It is time to pull up stakes, pack up the tent, load your proverbial camel and MOVE ON. You may need sand goggles and have to deal with a bit of sand grit in your teeth, but you are on the move!  Remember, the wind is in your favor!

So, as you see, when you purpose to view your tent-dwelling time as temporary, confidently expect change and yield to the wind of purposeful change,  there will be positive movement, some surprising unexpected solutions and much personal progress and satisfaction.  You may also experience a healing or two.

You will undoubtedly have some success stories, as well as sage advice of your own to share with your particular world, as you reach your much sought after oasis.  Dwell well my friend!

    During my morning reflection-prayer time, this blog came to mind again.

    For those seeking the direction, the clarity, the refinement of steps, my encouragement is to spend some power time in the ‘Tent of Meeting’ with Christ.

    In Exodus 33:7 Moses went outside the camp and PITCHED A TENT…his own Tent of Meeting with the Lord. And it goes on to say that the peoples then followed in like manner visiting this tent of meeting.

    Be willing to step outside the routine, create the needed space for communion with the God that saves you, blesses you, empowers you, equips you and surprises you with NEW fresh ideas, creative insights and protective covering.

    Today, may the God of all hope fll you with joy and peace as you rely on Him — may every entrepreneurial endeavor succeed and flourish.

    Blessings, Judyann
