Extreme Makeover: Bianca Edition




In Pursuit of True Happiness


I was over thinking some things in the construction world and I was evaluating certain processes that they have to incorporate. Well I don't know if any of you have ever seen the show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Well in that show basically, they pick special families that either went through something tragic or is an inspiration to the community etc. Basically the family is considered unique, peculiar, different in some shape or form. Keep that in mind. Now they come to the house and along with many of the community members and they break the entire house down. All of these people contribute in the breaking down process. Every time I watch the show, I see that they do this part with a nonchalant attitude. They just break the house with no care of the valuables inside or even the $40,000 shutters grandpa just put on the house. This all does not matter. Now after the house is shattered, the debris is all cleaned up and removed so that the new building could be placed there. Keep this also in mind. Now they start to rebuild the house and make sure that everything that will benefit the whole plan would be in place. These new materials, ideas, and equipment will all surpass the old things. Keep that also in mind. When the project is done, the family can now come back to regular living in their new furnished home. Well with all that said here is the spiritual aspect.... I have just experienced something in my life (once again), where it was more than I could bear. I became confused with life and my purpose. I was defeated in a sense where life had no meaning to me. Now, you may ask how the house and building story has to do with anything? Well. What i know is that in order for my soul, spirit, mind to be new and refreshed, something needs to be broken down. There was great need of destruction of things that were not pleasing to God and things that didn't concern him. In order for this "new house" to be put in place, the old needed to be removed. The people in this story serves as the enemy breaking down your thoughts, your joy, your understanding for life, But what he doesn't know is that, he is helping you right now. He has helped me by placing these obstacles in my way because I'm only learning how to fight...Look at your breaking points as your training to defeat whatever the devil throws your way...

Nice Analogy Minister Bianca Cain. Very inspirational. The breaking down process is rough and hard, but the "rebuilding", watching the new stuff God puts into your life, makes up for all that! I can't wait to see what other words of encouragement you're gonna post!
