What should I do with my life? Now that I’m retiring what’s next? I feel like I should be making a change but how do do that? Restlessness is something we face in all walks of life whether we are young and trying to figure out our calling or sensing a need for change after years in one path. This workshop will look at discerning and managing the holy restlessness that often stirs in us as we seek to live into the design God has for each person.
This workshop will be led by Debra Franke, MA Counseling, and Walter Sawatzky, Franconia Conference Minister.

Debra has eighteen years experience helping individuals assess their strengths and make career and life choices. In her career counseling business, Career Transitions, Debra makes extensive use of SIMA®, the System for Identifying Motivated Abilities, an assessment process which identifies and describes the motivated strengths of individuals. She has conducted the 2-day workshop Discovering My Design, and co-taught courses on career counseling at Biblical Seminary. Debra has a B.S. in Engineering from Northwestern University, and an M.A. in Counseling from Biblical Seminary. She attends Souderton Mennonite Church, and lives in Hatfield, Pa., with her husband John, and son.
For the past thirty years, Walter has been practicing the art of life transitions by re-locating a dozen times and serving as a social worker, service program administrator, pastor, and now, transition coach! He and his wife, Joy, are the parents of two sons, Benjamin and Alexander. Walter’s favorite quote of all time is this from Jesus: “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life…and learn the unforced rhythms of grace.”

Mosaic is a large conference, crossing ethnicities, geographies, generations, theologies, and politics. Each person can only speak for themselves; no one can represent “the conference.” May God give us the grace to hear what the Spirit is speaking to us through people with whom we disagree and the humility and courage to love one another even when those disagreements can’t be bridged.
