I ran across a new word, or term — "liminal space." I read up on it and learned it means the space between beginning and ending; a threshold between who you were and who you're becoming.

That intrigued me because I often feel like I'm in a spiritual liminal space. What I love most about walking with Christ is how He brings me to places I've never been. He never allows me to take up residence in complacency; I'm always on the threshold — between who I was and who I'm becoming, what I know and what I don't, who I think I am and who I really am.

A spiritual liminal space is the sacred threshold where one life has ended, another has not yet begun, and the soul must learn to stand in the uncertainty between them. It's often an uncomfortable place because we naturally want clarity and resolution. Yet it can also be a place where old illusions fall away, faith deepens, and a person learns to trust God without yet knowing where the path will lead.
