Welcome! I’m Ronald.
If you've ever watched a trapeze artist moving effortlessly from ring to ring
and bar to bar in a circus performance you know that transitions can be difficult, stressful, and even dangerous. As a spectator, your heart stops in fear for the artist as they glide through the air, powered only by their momentum, propelling them toward safety. The same could be said about life, particularly that time of our journey on this earth where we transition. We as the creators of YoungAdventists desire to be a partner to those who are navigating the in-between.
