Metamorphosis: a change of physical form, structure, or substance especially by supernatural means; a striking alteration in appearance, character, or circumstances; a typically marked and more or less abrupt developmental change in the form or structure of an animal occurring subsequent to birth or hatching.
Yesterday, I was teaching about fetal bone formation, and I heard myself say, "Change happens from the inside out." I stopped right then and pondered what I had said. That was profound. I was still "chewing" on it last night while Christopher and I were driving home. In my spirit I heard the word metamorphosis.
I'm in a strange place in my life. God is doing deep things in me. Sometimes I feel shaken and insecure because I am changing and I don't fully understand. But, I am becoming the Dawn Marie Karr that God created me to be. His supernatural power is changing me from the inside out.
I want to see and understand the amazing things that happen inside a chrysalis when a caterpillar becomes a monarch butterfly. I want to see inside myself and know what exactly God is doing and how I will look when the metamorphosis is finished. IMPOSSIBLE on both accounts! God's ways and His thoughts are higher than mine. Who am I to question Him?
I feel hidden in my chrysalis; safe and secure like the caterpillar. I am not the completely transparent person that I once was. I find myself torn between the comfort of my chrysalis and the longing to spread my beautiful wings and fly. I choose to trust my Father and know that His work in me is GOOD! He will faithfully complete it and I will emerge from my metamorphosis as His glorious creation!
