A Living House

You're Up, You're Down. You're Comfortable, You're Out of Place. You've got all the directions, and then you don't know where to turn. I know I have said this before, but I always make a plan in my life, and Heavenly Father steps in and rearranges everything! I know he knows better than I. I know he has directions for us. I just get suprised because sometimes it makes no sense to me, and other times I feel it is absolutely the way it is suppose to be (whether I wanted it or not). You will soon learn more about what I am taking about, once we figure it all out!

This poem is one of my favorites! I received in some where but it makes me calm when I feel they way I do. Which has been very often lately.

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 so you weren't suprised. But presently He is knocking the house in a way that hurts 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 that you thought or- 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 cottage, but He is building a palace.
