Changes

This is gonna be a year of changes, I can feel it.  I'm gonna be moved (well, probably more like pushed, shoved, and probably dragged) right out of my happy little comfort zone.  I know that it will be for my good, but oh man, it's rough while it's happening....

There's excitement too, though, thinking about the future, and what it holds.  I know from past experiences that when I finally move, great things happen. 

I think I have finally started on my pathway to finding freedom.  I've been wanting to start this path for oh so long, but have been scared, or not sure how or where to start.  But I think I've found it.  It's gonna happen this time. 

One of my favorite songs right now is Gungor's "Beautiful Things".  This is my story.  I don't feel beautiful right now, but I know that God can turn my mess & my ashes in beauty.

"Beautiful Things"
All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

Some of us are blessed to already see the beauty in you and it is radiant. I think maybe it's harder for us to see ourselves as we are and to see the changes as God brings them. Seems like we have to get past it a little bit -- kind of like looking in a rear view mirror.

Been watching your metamorphosis for a while now and it's exciting to see it kicked into high gear. As beautiful as you are now, inside and out, I can't wait to see what you're going to be like when this period of refining settles down!
