Okay, so while we spoke at FOM in Osage Beach, Missouri, I spoke about the butterfly and how we are much like them. I spoke about how it is the time in the cocoon that is necessary for us to become all that we are to be, and that we need to be okay being in process in the cocoon, spiritually. God is always preparing us to house more and more of His essence, His glory (2 Cor. 3:18). After the conference, a beautiful young woman came up to me and shared more with me about the butterfly. She said that when they emerge from the cocoon, that they are wet and have to remain still while the blood begins to flow into the wings and other parts of the butterfly's body before it can take off and fly....to try to fly too soon will cause death. I thought that was so good. We need time each day to "be still and know that He is God" and allow His blood to cover us and protect and flow through us as we go into the day displaying His splendor, His glory. SO, I think we can both be in the cocoon while still displaying His glory and as we are in the cocoon, He continues to grow us back into more and more of our original design while we still live in His glory daily. God brought this film across my path this morning.....it is 20 minutes in length but worth every minute. Please take the time to watch this. Let your children watch this. You are special and unique and gifted in special ways to display the glory of God in you. May this change your perspective about yourself and those around you, in the name of Jesus.
