End of the World

3. October 2009 by Starr.

Sometimes, things happen in our lives that cause us to feel as if the end of the world is here.  Hm….let me rephrase.  Sometimes, things happen in our lives that cause us to feel as if the end of OUR world is here.  This is my first blog since August…and there’s a reason for that.  Something happened in my life that caused me to feel, in many ways, that the end of my world happened.  In many ways it did.

The good news is, is that even in the end of the world, good things can come out of that.  Think of the caterpiller.  For, what the caterpiller views as the end of his world, God sees as a butterfly.  I think this “hermitish” phase that I have been in (see my Hermit, Me? blog, if you haven’t already read it) has been, in fact, my cocoon.  Without even realizing the transformation that has happened, God wrapped me in a cocoon and has been preparing me for the end of one world, and the beginning of another.

I’m not gonna say it hasn’t been (and still is) painful in many ways.  But, I have to sit back, even with the pain, hard lessons….and even some regrets…I have to think to myself, “How awesome is that?!”

My thanks to God, for all He has done, is doing, and will do, through the end of my world.

For those of you who are going through a transformation and end of the world of your own, take heart…keep steadfast…don’t look back and don’t look down…and let God transform your world, and fly.
