Think of a time in your life when an "old era" ended and something quite new began: a move, a marriage, a new job or perhaps an experience with God. What made this change difficult? What made it joyful? How was God involved?

I will talk about the time that I moved here to Pennsylvania.  I moved here from Wisconsin at the end of my second grade year.  What made this change difficult was that I had to leave any friends I made behind, however, the joyful part was that I got to make new friends.  The way that God was involved in this experience was that he was providing my dad with a new job that he liked.
