Metamorphosis

Butterfly tales

Metamorphosis: The Greek word for transformation or change.

To say that life is a journey in this case would be an understatement. You are not the same person you are at any given stage, from who you were when you started out. I like to think of life as a journey or a path, it helps puts things into perspective. You are always moving on or forward, if only simply, because of the gift of time. You’re getting older and prayerfully, wiser.

If there’s one God-created creature that puts this best as a living example, it would have to be the butterfly. Hence, when I was looking for the logo for Liz Talks Life it had to be the butterfly! Its very existence demonstrates an almost miraculous change from one thing into another, all in one lifetime. I pray the same is true for us, all to the Glory of God.

The butterfly’s life speaks of growth, development and purpose.

Each of us as women, like the butterfly, have also gone through and are going through the stages and life cycles of womanhood. From childhood to youth to womanhood.

But more importantly we are learning and growing, hopefully understanding ourselves and the world around us better.

I am grateful for the change and have learnt to be open minded and pursue a teachable spirit to be a lifelong learner, because it is not possible for one person to have all the answers to anything and everything. So, if I need to understand healthy eating, for example, I would need to re-educate myself through books, audio books and podcasts about healthy eating.

Change is a fascinating thing to me, especially if you embrace it and receive it like a new frontier or an adventure, something unfamiliar. Yes, even the good and the bad because each will contribute in shaping you into who you’re becoming according to His Will, in obedience for His Glory.
