As I was in and out of church today, I managed to hear this quote...I think it was meant for me to hear...
"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 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, adding on courtyards. You thought you were being made into a descent little cottage: but He is building a palace."
-C.S. Lewis

Thank you for sharing. I needed that. It seems that we are too hard on ourselves and if we knew ourselves like Heavenly Father does we would learn and love a lot quicker. love you
I loved that as well. We always think we know what's best for us and then we find out we really have absolutely no idea.
Beautiful reminder that we are not incharge of the grand plan. Thanks for sharing.
