Today

I love small changes in life that liven things up a bit.  Although that may not be the best for everybody, I think it is good for me.  One of the most significant changes is having to work hand in hand with some people I was not a big fan of in the past.  This current assignment I am on has tested me in ways I couldn't have foreseen.  A good example of all this; Mom and Dad tell you that you should try a new food because you might like it, and we all told our parents "no" at one time or another.

 One of the hardest things as an adult is to admit there are points in life to improve upon, learn, or develop from.  I am having to invest my time in people whom I used to think were a waste of skin.  I won't hesitate to admit I got this one wrong in the past.  God pushes all of us to be our best, no matter what that might look like.  A journey is always worth the trip regardless of the outcome if God is the one guiding you along the path.

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”

― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
