a bug's life

A story is being told of two caterpillars who were strolling around in the garden one morning. The two friends spotted a butterfly in flight when one remarked: ' you will never catch me in one of those, not even if you paid me'

It has been about a month since my last post and in that month so much have changed. the life cycle of a bug has taken place once again - the chrysalis process of seaming death and rebirth; of transformation; of pain-and-hope; and ultimately of new beginnings! There has been the odd occasion where i heard myself say: 'you will not catch me in youth ministry, not again' . I have mentioned in one of my previous posts that i firmly believe God has a sense of humor and so guess what i am doing ... Yip, i am back in youth ministry (well, mainly youth ministry) and the scariest part is that i am actually enjoying it.

So here i am, the same bug with different (perhaps more funky) spots. i am certain that this is where i have to be for now, and tho the process was painful, the growth that lies in this process has been significant. i am curious to see what the ultimate plan and destination is, but for now - i am enjoying the journey.

I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU HAVE POSTED AGAIN, i thought you left us...

i am glad that you are enjoying this journey you are on, like you said, God has a funny sense of humour, and He has, and it is always a very good thing to embrace His actions and dreams for your life, that will just make the growing process alot less painful and easier :)

Our Lord only wants the best for us, and its so nice that WE want the best for ourselves too, its then when i believe you will be a couple of steps closer to your destiny.

the motto i live by; We all have a destiny, we dont all travell the predestined path but we will reach it in the end.

our lives are a long journey and we need to embrace it, bumps, holes, bends and all, it gotta be fun if you riding a 4x4, which mindset are you on, today i am a 4x4.

Bugs thank you for sharing, it was really something that i needed - the lesson is so relevant in my life at the moment.


cheers,
