Cocoon

For Adrianne

I wonder what you become when you emerge from the cocoon a second time?  Another new creature?  A better creature?  Cocooning is a time of contemplation, restoration, anticipation and preparation.  The acronym for those nouns is C.R.A.P  I didn't want to use that word, but it actually defines the feeling of cocooning quite well.  It doesn't have to be miserable, though, especially if you recognize it happens for a specific purpose.  I would have liked it better if I knew that, before I went into the cocoon. However, I am deeply grateful now, that the Lord hid me for awhile.  It was for His purpose.


2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

Mystery

The Mystery

Oh Lord, you are so wonderful to me.   My heart is full of adoration for you.   I've always had so many questions.  I still have so many questions.  And, that's what is so incredible about you; you give me the answers I need exactly when I need them.

Today I'm thankful for the questions.  I'm glad you reserve some of the answers for your timing, Father.  I'm glad you are full of mystery, and yet you are so present and real.  How beautiful!  I love you Lord!


Colossians 1:27  To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
