When something significant is being built, scaffolding is put in place to support the building process. Scaffolding is temporarily attached to what is being built to get to places you could not ordinarily reach. The structure can’t be elevated to higher levels without the scaffolding. Once the structure is ready to be revealed the temporary scaffolding is removed.

As God is “building you,” there are temporary things in your life that you must not get attached to. Sometimes we get too attached to people; we get too attached to places; we get too attached to institutions. You have to recognize what is being used as a “temporary” means to move you ahead verses a source that you are to have “permanent” reliance on. That’s why sometimes relationships fall apart. Sometimes you lose an appetite for what used to feed you. Every now and then your reliance on an institution will be disappointed. You must understand that some people, some places, some institutions, some mindsets, and some approaches have expiration dates on them.

There are times when you have to blatantly abandon “what was” in favor of “what is to be.” You can’t be so attached to the “present” that you are not willing to abandon it in favor of your “future.” If there is no more life in it, it has already left you. Do not be so attached to something that you are not willing to let it go even when it has already gone.

Do not try to make “permanent” what God has made “temporary.”

I am excited about the release of my highly touted new book called Transition—Mastering Life’s movements! It speaks more extensively on letting go of the “present” in favor of your “future,” and so much more!!

Take a look at what people are saying about the book:

-I just finished this book and (((WOW))) what a great book that really gives you the bigger picture of what we all go through in life but never see it from this perspective. I love how this book gives you some specific practical tools that you can do every day and that you can be aware of in your conscious mind. I recommend getting this book in your library now, and once you read it you will want others to have it too. This will bless many.

-I Love this book! From the time I started reading it I knew right away that what I was reading was for me! As I read the first chapter describing to me what transition was or is; it was like food for my soul. I ate the first chapter really fast, it motivated and inspired me. I tweeted about how fast I was eating the book. I have been freed up from the confusion that seemingly alluded my life.

-I can only find “two” words right now. And that’s Anointed and Brilliant! I’m still in “Awe”! Seriously – no fluff! This book has just about summarized my past and present.

If you have not had the chance to get your copy of my powerful new book, consider getting a copy right now. Several people have purchased a copy for themselves and A second copy to sow into someone else’s life.
