Okay so this upcoming week is transfers... I always get really nervous at transfer time because transfers equal change... Everything that you know is changed if you get transferred. All the people you see every day are replaced with new people. The home you live in is changed... yeah your whole life is different. But change is good. It brings growth, new opportunities, and many new challenges. Change is good in every aspect of life... even in missionary work. I love this quote by C.S. Lewis, he's talking about how change can hurt sometimes, but God will always make us into something great:
“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 sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that 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, making courtyards. You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace.”
I pray that we can let God mold our life and build us into the person He has planned for us.
