Navigating Transition

October 9, 2018 By admin

I enjoy a variety of interests so it’s fairly easy for me to become involved in groups and issues. One of my latest adventures is joining an alliance of mental health providers who are interested in maternal/baby wellness. Postpartum depression and anxiety have become more recently recognized in the popular media as worthy of our attention and the need for support and possible treatment. I have had a personal interest for many years since I experienced a period of postpartum depression after the birth of our last child. Our group is just starting to figure out mission and goals but it’s really all about helping new mothers avoid postpartum mood disorders. Having a baby is a life changing event—physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. I have always maintained that a lot of those issues involve grief and loss. Births involve change or loss of the former identity; change in relationships, finances, location of home; and change in body image and health, etc. Sometimes there is even loss of a grandparent, parent, or baby around time of the birth.

After our last alliance meeting I also received a phone call from a young colleague. She has been employed as a consultant for helping professional athletes transition out of their careers into “civilian” life. She is taking on a new job with the military where she will be involved in helping soldiers with the same kinds of transitions. We talked about her concerns regarding a retiring athlete who is having adjustment problems.

I immediately remembered a former client who was a semi-pro athlete and his struggles, including the need for in-patient treatment. Later I recalled when I worked with a retired career military man who transitioned to educational employment. His military expectations didn’t always align with the way things were done in a different setting. The distinct cultures for those who have made their careers inside a particular profession can result in a difficult time for creating the “new normal.”

I am seeing some similarity between postpartum grief and life transitions grief. Don’t many of us really experience periods of “postpartum?” Word origins of postpartum can mean “bringing forth” or “to bear.” Similar issues of loss and grief can occur when people finish, leave, or retire from a position within a very distinct culture (think language, uniforms, schedules, jokes, worldview!). It calls for a new birth of reorganization of support, daily schedules, and changes to relationships when that time has been fulfilled and a new identify must emerge.

Many people look forward to a new position, completion of a project, or to retirement. In another year my spouse may enter into a career transition that will mean changes for both of us. We will soon become part of a large generation dealing with “retirement” issues. I am increasingly aware that life phases can seem fearful, daunting or discouraging for some people. Acknowledging what we have accomplished or lost often helps us to more clearly see the path and possibilities forward—along with strong social support and faith for our futures.

Questions for personal journaling or group discussion:

1. What losses and gains have you experienced in a recent life transition?

2. If you could retire tomorrow, how would you like your life to change? Do you need to wait for some of those changes?

This Looks Like the End

November 7, 2017 By admin

Photo by Pixabay

When I was a boy, both of my parents worked and I became well acquainted with daytime television. One of the shows I watched frequently was the original non-animated Batman. Many of the episodes ended with Batman and his sidekick, the Boy Wonder, in a tight spot—having been captured by some cruel villain.
 
The announcer would close these episodes with, “This look like the end!”
 
When I became a Christian, talk about the nearness of the “end” was more than frequent. I expected the credits to roll on this Pale Blue Dot at any time. In the 39 years that have since passed, I have heard many reasons for the end to be described as “near.” I have been asked more than a few times to preach on the nearness of the end as a motivator for change in church member’s lives.
 
But I am resistant.
 
My foremost reason for resisting is that people mistake knowledge about the end as preparation for the end. However, there is no correlation between information and preparation for the return of Jesus. The preparation needed for the return of Jesus is a relationship with Jesus. Accepting the grace that God offers and submitting to His leadership in your day-to-day life is the only way to be ready for Jesus to come!
 
It seems as if people have been sucked into a version of Gnosticism as it relates to the Second Coming. They believe that the information itself is needed—and, for some, that the information is all that is needed—to be saved. As in all forms of Gnosticism, here Jesus gets sidelined in the teachings even though He is the one returning.
 
So what about North Korea, hurricanes Harvey and Irma, and the massive wildfires in the Northwest? Aren’t these things fulfillments of prophecy? Sure. The Bible says that the earth will groan—that there will be wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines, and epidemics. But, I will say, to name one set of events as harbingers over others past and future is not wise.
 
Instead, may I suggest that these things remind us that we live on a fragile, old planet that will one day come to an end—and that we should prepare to meet Jesus, who is anxious to come and take His children home. Let’s read about Him, focus on behaving as He would behave today, and align ourselves with what has been revealed in Scripture.
 
Let’s be about loving our neighbors—and working for them in the hopes that they will allow us to tell them about God’s love and that amazing, joyful, exciting day when Jesus comes again.
 
It is not possible to scare people into loving Jesus. Sure, it looks, perhaps, like the end—so let’s be ready to follow Jesus home!
Walt Groth writes from Northern California.

I Love Fall

October 4, 2017 By admin

Photo by Dreamstime

Dear God: What a glorious day. The leaves just turning their beautiful colors — gold, red, yellow, burgundy. A walk in the woods with my grandsons turned into a wonderful teaching time and exploration about you and your creation. Even though close to freezing, some tiny flowers still held on adding blues and purples to brown of the fallen leaves. Green skinned black walnuts and broken shells scattered on the forest floor led to talks about how you’ve provided for all creation.

Armed with sticks, it was easy to imagine how the David the shepherd boy or David the warrior felt when he was taking care of sheep or escaping King Saul. The path along the creek reminded us of one of David’s more famous psalms: “He leads me beside peaceful streams … and even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid for you are close beside me. Your rod and staff protect and comfort me” (Psalm 23 NLT).

In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Dixie Dee Whitted writes from the eastern United States.

Members Petition Church Leaders about Sunday-Sabbath in Samoa

May 22, 2017 By admin

05/22/2017 A group of South Pacific Division Adventists are petitioning the Samoas-Tokelau Mission, Trans-Pacific Union Mission, South Pacific Division, and the General Conference to revisit the change in Seventh-day Adventists’ day of worship in Samoa when the International Date Line was changed by the Samoan government in 2011.
