Process
Someone said our remodel was a picture of our spiritual lives: always in progress. Not sure that was a comfort; I do see the truth in it. I've threatened to write a retreat series based on our last 7 years: "Remodeling 101- Walking in the Spirit" - if I live through it, that is.
I'm fine with rough edged cabinets and non-texturized walls. I do get annoyed with digging for utensils and crooked drawers. I know, I know. It's nothing in the grand scheme of Spiritual Renovation - but irritations prove renovation is still needed.
God must be chuckling. Internal progress is ongoing, but there's hope! Paul wrote: "I have confidence that He Who began this work in me will continue it until the day of the Lord Jesus." (Philippians 1:6)
Once saved, we're all in process--and that's a good thing. My dear friend, Terri, finished her process around one this morning. She's enjoying a finished remodel in Glory, but we're sure going to miss her.
Here's the point: you need to get into the process. Once in, the remodeling is only for your good and God's glory. Lots more exciting than new kitchen cabinets. And the results are eternal.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Sue. Will be praying for comfort for family and friends of your dear friend, Terri. Thanks, again, for helping us to keep our eyes "fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our race..."
