I have so much to post. But I had to share this with anyone who even follows or reads this blog of mine. I saw this quote on a friend's blog. A friend who legitimately has something go complain about. And she doesn't. Thanks for the thought. There is always a bigger plan, even if we don't know what it is. Our Heavenly Father really is in control, and really does know what he is doing with each of our lives.
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. He intends to
come and live in it Himself.
- C.S. Lewis, excerpted from Mere Christianity
