I was chatting with someone yesterday about the similarities of our present situations. Both of us are at moments in this journey that seem utterly out of our control (though the truth of the matter is that we never have as much "control" as we believe that we do).
One of the hats that I wear in life is that of a professional organizer. So, I mentioned to my companion that the present state of affairs reminds me of the part of the process of restoring order when everything has to be removed, temporarily creating a greater sense of disorder than before. It is at this point that my client has to trust my vision, take a deep breath, and allow me to finish the work that I have started. What often looks like utter chaos is in fact, progress toward the goal of becoming completely organized.
So it is with this season. Thankfully, I have been here in the past. Because of that, I know firsthand that no matter how things appear at this juncture, The One who orders my steps is simply executing His master plan. And I am quite sure that its going to be beautiful!
