Lessons from an egg

So my friend Kara gave me two Reese's Peanut Butter Easter Eggs last night. By the time I arrived home, they had melted. So I put them in the fridge to harden up. I just finished eating them both as a late dessert after lunch. As I opened up the second egg, it was smushed looking nothing like an egg. I identified with that egg. The past few weeks, I have felt melted. Part of the problem was the elements or environment I was putting myself in. This was not God molding me, but this was Duer being a stubborn mule and deciding that I am able to handle things. So my melting did not result in a great pheonix-like revelation of coming back stronger. Instead, I allowed myself to become conform to whatever shape the package of my life was taking me. To continue my analogy, I was not longer an egg. My faith/ingredients were still there but my purpose was lost in the elements of heat. So now that I am no longer being melted I feel the need to have the "egg" back together again. But the next thought is how I can be the horseman you know...solve my own problems. Which is exactly what got me here in the first place. So what lesson have I really learned...When I do the molding, I lose purpose, but when God is in charge, my purpose is clear.

I hope you can follow the logic here. It makes sense to me but as I learned last night Duer logic is down right enigmatic. But that is something for another blog.
