trashed and recycled
have you ever thrown something away and just let it sit outside. have you ever noticed how something will weather and start to detererate as time passes by. tomorrow morning is trash day. this is a new day for this house. before, we've not had trash service yet but have pilled it all up onto the back porch. on saturday night, it was moved. it was moved to ground next to the porch to clear out an area so a few of us guys could hang out on the porch. since then, it has rained. not just drizzled, but poured. this afternoon, my roommate and i moved the trash to the front of the house for the trash-guys to pick it up in the morning. as i moved a cardboard box full of trash, i noticed how the sides and bottom of it began to give away as i carried it. i made it to the trash pile with the box still intact. i just know the trash-guys aren't going to be too happy with me when they go to pick that box up. i can already see how all of the trash will just fall straight out of the bottom of it when picked up.
this is how i'm feeling right now. i am that cardboard box. i am outside in the unexpected conditions of the weather. the dampness of the ground, sun, wind, and rain have all beaten me to where i am all soggy and weak. the rain has weakened me to the point that when i am picked up, i will fall apart. i can see God as the trash-guy. He comes and picks up everything that is tossed to the curb. no matter how bad we fall apart, he helps put us back together. here i can see myself as being recycled. throughout our lives we have parts of others put into us to make us whole again. God is the one who picks the pieces and molds it all together. a recycled product will never be the same as the original, it has new pieces in it.
i feel like i've been trashed and recycled.
today, God has made me whole again and made me new.
even when your hope is gone, move along, move along, like i know you would
my hope was gone, God has moved me along, because He is faithful
be ready for a huge announcement to be made on Wednesday, March 15th, 2006!!!
