Metamorphosis

I totally love Butterflies. I know bring on the I’m such a girl comments. I really can’t believe that I just wrote in on a web page that will exist for awhile that I actually love Butterflies. I always have. The incredible color, patterns, behavior. The fact that they eat sugar water (Who hasn’t dreamed of that?!)

But I learned something pretty cool this weekend that I just have to share with you.

Romans 12:2 “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (NIV)

That word transform actually means metamorphosis-a profound change in form from one stage to the next in the life history of an organism, as from the caterpillar to the pupa and from the pupa to the adult butterfly.

A complete state change… incredible. Maybe we don’t understand how drastic the change is that occurs by the renewing of your mind. Maybe we just think transforming is like a subtle change. But by renewing your mind you totally undergo a complete stage metamorphosis.

Pretty awesome. Anyway this ends my butterfly geekage. Back into obscurity
