Refining.
I was helping my dad make some acrylic display dispensers at his shop.
I was cleaning, and he was using a torch to refine them. I was watching him, and it was so amazing to watch him expose the flame to the acrylic because as soon as he did it became so shiny and clear. We were talking and then all the sudden he says, “It’s crazy how someone came up with putting a flame to this to make it look so much better; It’s just so weird.”
Actually it’s pretty ridiculous. I mean, someone just randomly put a flame to the acrylic to see what it would do? How the acrylic would react? It’s kind of silly.
Just like God uses the “silly” things of this world to teach the wise. He uses those things to break us, so he can build us back up; He can build us the right way, the way we were supposed to be in the beginning.
Then after he has cleaned us all up and gotten rid of the big stains (like I was doing to the acrylic), He can take the flame and refine us (like my dad was doing). It was crazy how the flame could take away the little imperfections that were still left, and make it so much better and purer than it was before.
The difference between the acrylic and us though, is that the acrylic eventually becomes a finished product. We don’t. God is so amazing that he can keep refining us until the day we die.
So, God broke me, he’s rebuilding me, and he’s starting to refine me. I’ve already changed more in these past 6 months than I ever thought necessary, and I’m realizing everything God is up to. It’s pretty cool to say the least :)

Open Doors
Let go, for greater things lie ahead.
I cannot keep lingering on the past.
By closing this door, we open numbers more.
Everything we were is now nothing, just thorns,
Thorns that stab when thoughts of you appear.
Let go, for greater things lie ahead.
Believing you were the sun in my rainy day,
I was blinded by the brilliant glare.
By closing this door, we open numbers more.
As the moon affects the tide, you affected me.
But the ocean is strong, for it controls itself.
Let go, for greater things lie ahead.
After time, battle wounds are healed.
Time is a healer. It cures me of you.
By closing this door, we open numbers more.
An earthquake cannot destroy a strong foundation.
And every failure is a blessing in disguise.
Let go, for greater things lie ahead.
By closing this door, we open numbers more.

I Told You So.
Clinging to the words that I know I should have obeyed,
Sulking in my room because this all could have been prevented.
Still you will stay with me, and this time I will listen.
I was as a firefly attracted to the beautiful light, obliviously headed for destruction.
Offended by your allegedly needless concern, I hurled your instructions aside. Now I sit,
Clinging to the words that I know I should have obeyed.
Sorrowfully observing from the sidelines was all you could do as the light zapped me,
But catching me as I fell was the move that saved my life.
Still you will stay with me, and this time I will listen.
Spending my nights staining your shirt with tears, tears that should not have been shed.
Even though upset that I did not listen, you were there to comfort me. That is why I sat,
Clinging to the words that I know I should have obeyed.
Telling me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted, because you love me,
Being there for me even though I did not deserve it, lead me to love you.
Still you will stay with me, and this time I will listen.
At any time, you could have mocked me saying, “I told you so”
Instead, you took me under your wing, and said, “I love you so”.
Clinging to the words that I know I should have obeyed,
Still you will stay with me, and this time I will listen.

Persistent Sun.
The crying clouds consume, swirling round and round they take control. Even if not seen, the sun stills shines. Casting a shadow over the brilliant day, Storms seep in slowly to take away. The crying clouds consume. The sunrays are trapped, as they are blocked by the storm. Even if not seen, the sun stills shines. The hills that once shone so bright, Now shudder in the darkness. The crying clouds consume. Slightest movements in the clouds Allows the sun to show itself. Even if not seen, the sun stills shines. As the sun shines through the gloomy days disappear. The crying clouds consume. Even if not seen, the sun stills shines. - CGlover
