Transformed

So, I don't blog near as much as I thought I would when I started...

I have been thinking a lot lately about the idea of transformation. I have always believed that once you become a Christian, life is a transformation process. I believe that is basically what the Bible teaches. Here on Earth we are continually being transformed into the likeness of God. I often find myself praying for God to transform my heart--my life.

I think this idea of transformation could transcend to other aspects of my life. For example, my thoughts. How I feel about myself or someone else would transform over time. Basically, I think I'm saying this whole thing is a process. And it is a process that is not easy for me. Transformation does not always go in a positive direction. Once I realize I've been on the wrong track, I have to start again. Not go backwards, that's impossible. But open myself again. Allow myself to enter the transformation process. I have been blessed with a man who tells me everyday that I'm beautiful. His words are part of my process. The words I say are part of someone else's process. We really do impact the people around us. We are not only being transformed, but transforming others.

God, help me to be a light in the darkness.
