Time for Change- or- Is It Pain?

Well check out the graphic picture I discovered on Instagram again. Another gem! It was on a friend's page. Maybe he made it or maybe he didn't but the words spoke volumes.

Too loud to ignore. Too loud not to reply a comment on his photo. Too loud not to share the process also.

Each new level will require a new you!!!

Just reread that for a minute!

Absolute truth. But here is another truth that wasn't shared. That process will cause pain. It's pain involved whenever growth comes.

Remember your child teething or maybe you witnessed a small baby in the process of teething. They were enduring pain to have a few teeth finally sproat up. No method could prevent it all we could do was ease it temporarily.  You know teething rings, Orajel and the like.

And It Rings- All change will require pain!

Each new level will require a new you!!!

Remember child birth? Or maybe you witnessed or saw a video relating to childbirth. Birthing something required pain. New Life required pain. New beginnings require change. And changing definitely feels like pain.

But just like that baby who was cutting its early signs of teeth- new beginnings came. Such a new beginning that no more milk substance was needed. Time for the big boy or big girl league now.

Such a new beginning and change that solid food was now the proper food to give unto that child. No more mashed potatoes- some meaty substance was now a need.

Such a change where even their diets changed. Speech came. More developed practices ensued. Habits practiced. From laying to crawling to all of a sudden one day walking!!

So indeed, as we just studied up close- the pain is just a momentarily suffering that for surely cannot compare to the later and more everlasting glory.

It's just a thing that we must go through but good news is after the pain.....

Here Comes The New!!!

Every New Level Will Require A Different You- and let's not forget....

Every different you involves change and every change carries with it a little discomfort or pain!

But Beauty and New Awaits so Let's Continue!!

HE Speaks- Trust The Process

So while strolling through my old and ancient Instagram, I noticed this old post. At 1st glance I laughed. I made this while I was stuck at the auto mechanics for hours.

When I say hours, I mean a whole 8 hour shift!! I wanted to leave desperately.  I just wanted the mechanic to hurry and do a quick fix.  Just let me come back another day- I even requested of him.

To no avail !!! He wasn't hearing of it. So in my frustrations and in my attempt to make light of this ordeal- along came this joke.

As I reread it today though- the words then had a deeper meaning. A more spiritual meaning.  A meaning relevant for both you and me while we are walking and carrying on in life and business.

You know them times where GOD places us in sheltered protection?
Sheltered development?  Hidden almost from the world? Just resting and regaining our strength back moments? Or just sitting quietly resting before HIM?

You also know that after awhile of waiting on GOD , we also get a little impatient. We drastically and desperately just want to move from one location to the next. Go from one area to the next. Maybe leaving pain to go to joy. Maybe leaving our homes to get to a bigger and better one. Maybe one church to another. Maybe leave one job to gain another.

We all have different needs and things. But check out the message!!

Just as that mechanic said to me on that day- Not until everything is in working order. Not until the process is complete. Not until everything that needs to be done is done. Not until everything is worked out.  Not until I let you know it is time!!!

Wisdom SPEAKS!

So although we may be stuck or rather feel like we are in one phase of life wayyyyyy too long- trust the process! Trust the mechanical process involved. Trust that everything spoken over your life- shall and will come to pass.

So exhale time now- you in that season for a reason. No more fighting your way out. You can't cry or complain your way out.  Nope, you can't talk your way out of this one!

But guess what you can do - Let Go and Let GOD! And "learn" to trust the process. One Day At A Time.
