"Asleep in a warm cocoon, we dream of lovely things. We're both gonna wake up soon, so we hope that tomorrow brings us our butterfly wings." ::Owl City::
I leave in less than 3 days for my next great journey; I begin an 8-month missionary training program. It's something I've wanted to do since I was in junior high, and as I am unattached and unemployed with an unknown future, I felt the call stronger than ever to do long term mission work. God has blessed me with this opportunity, as well as friends and family who are incredibly supportive and encouraging.
The metamorphosis of a butterfly is an image I have always felt is a metaphor for my life. Unlike a butterfly, I have gone through more than a single metamorphosis. I have been freed of myself through the grace of Christ. He renews me continually to become more like Him.
By studying and learning to live as Jesus did, a wandering servant, I pray that I may once again go through a metamorphosis. I want to bring glory to God through my life. This will be my journal of sorts on my adventure. Hope you enjoy :).

This is definitely a great adventure. I apologize for the delay in going through these posts, but I'm certain that each bit is worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteI hope and pray that your metamorphosis is going well. I'm sure your "butterfly wings" are becoming more beautiful with each passing day. :)
