Reconstuction in Progress

Three months since the last post is a waaayyy loonnggg time. At least that's what I think. Well, inspirations haven't been coming lately. Mainly due to the fact that I lost control. Of my life. And yet, there are other times when I get some really good inspiration to write something BUT it's too late for me to turn on the computer lest i get a severe headache the next morning.

I like to think that my life is like a house. Or maybe a building if you prefer. If we abandon a building for a long time, wild shrubs tend to grow all over the place. Vines and creepers and all sorts of wild plants grow. Some creepy creatures and small wild animals make that place their refuge. And then one day you decide to go back to that building to look for something you have left there for many years. More like a treasure buried in the middle of the building. You try to cut through the growth but it never seems to end. Too many years of not clearing has left it too thick to pass through with just a normal sickle in hand. The only way to get in is by calling the construction company to bring in their wrecking ball because if you were to cut through anyway, the house may collapse on you. You are sad because that structure had held you for many years before you left it abandoned. But to get that treasure back, you had to do it. Also, you could start anew after that. Then, when the building is finally brought down, you are able to access the treasure. AND you are able to start a fresh. Reaffirming the foundation. Giving the structure stronger beams for better support of the house. But it takes a long time. Months or even a year or two. And that was only the exterior. The interior is just another story altogether.

SO, the point of the illustration? Well, for many months my life in Christ was laid stagnant. My walk with Him seemed dead. No more nice genuine long walks, talking and listening to Him. Till I completely lost it. I felt I was going crazy. To tell you the truth, I nearly went into depression. The communion I once had with Him was like the treasure stuck in the middle of the house. Assignments and other things were like those wild plants and shrubs, growing so thick that my strength alone could not conquer. Till I couldn't take it anymore, I let God's construction company takeover. Tore my life apart. Brought my world crashing down. And now, it's being built back again. Slowly, but surely, it's reconstruction in progress. ;)
