Here I go....

It is about 21 hours before I'll be at the St. Louis airport checking my bag, going through security, and kissing America goodbye as I leave for Honduras. Tonight, I decided to look up some C.S. Lewis quotes for inspiration and comfort because his quotes are the best. This one really spoke to me. It's just an awesome reminder of how far God takes you out of your comfort zone, molds you, and rebuilds you to be more like him. It's never what you expect it to be, but in the end it is always worth it.


“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 any 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 being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
