Life After Loss

Think in the past 24 hours, I came to the conclusion... a part of "you" dies too.  

Not sure if there IS a "recovering," or coming back.  At least, the way you "were".  It's like transformation happens, and a NEW you morphs into being.  It's not necessarily a "bad" thing.

This morning reflecting, I thought of: 

- A woman carrying a child

- Butterflies in their cocoons

- An egg hatching

- A potter making a clay sculpture

- Sun after the rain; or, the smell before and after a good storm

- The view on top of a mountain, when you finish your climb

- Running a distance race, and working through controlling your breathing, until the second wind catches in...

Each thing, the process, takes time and is challenging, looks a certain way, feels weird, or hurts... 

Endurance, perceverance, character, strength, etc., is built or created... 

I stand on the Word of God in THIS moment, "God will use ALL things for good"... even this.
