The journey began, I was on the way to the circus. I'm quite certain I've been to the circus before, I remember going I just can't seem to recall when.
After we parked we sneaked a peak at the animals below, there were the camels, elephants, and tigers. Just a glimpse set my heart pounding.
We lined up with all the others who came and patiently waited for the doors to open. Once we entered we made our way to the floor where there was precircus activities happening. Clowns, costumes, weight lifters...they were there waiting to help us enjoy our experience.
Then finally the moment we waited for, "welcome to the greatest show on earth." The craziness began. Everyone made there way out and marched around the arena. The elephants paraded around, the clowns made us laugh, performers danced and wowed us.
Transformation then took place. While our attention was focused on a performance, the crew quickly and quietly changed another part of the arena. Over and over the scenes changed, the performances changed and I was amazed.
As I sat there taking it all in, I realized our life can be a lot like the circus. Craziness begins, different scenes are changing quickly and quietly while we are paying attention to another area of our life. Sometimes we like the change other times we are unprepared and don't exactly know how to deal with it.
Looking back, I realize how much change has taken place. Somehow before my eyes each of my children have grown into adults, some of those we love have gone on to be with the Lord, children in my day care have had to retire, and I'm a published author.
When allowed God can come in and change us into something better, I'm so glad I've given Him the opportunity to change me.
