I just finished reorganizing and cleaning my entire room closet and all. The only thing that didn't move was my desk. Everything else is flipped. I also got a some privacy cling things for my window so that I can just leave my blinds up making my room lighter. One of the window things has a stained glass pattern that is actually textured making it look fairly real if you ignore the fact that it doesn't cover all of my window. Given how much time I spend in my room the whole thing was very needed. My room actually looks bigger now.
NICE.
What just hit me though is the process of rearranging. Before I started my room was a mess, first thing I had to do was make it more messy to organize before I could move anything. So my room went from being messy to natural disaster for the last couple of days, but the entire time I was working steadily toward this new arrangement. I was struck by the thought that perhaps God has to do the same thing when he wants to take us from one stage of life to another. At first everything just keeps getting messier as things are moved around, but then as you start putting things in their new places the mess subsides finally you have a new room that shows no indication of the disaster it was just before or the room it had been. Maybe this is how God makes big changes in us, it has to get a little messy before it comes together on the other side.
I'm certainly hoping that this is the case for me, I'm just praying that I'm in the stage where things are starting to get cleaned up rather than more messy...
I guess that's my attempt to have a deep thought tonight.
