I have decided that there are only two things that I can think of in this world that look and feel better once they've been broken...
Geodes... and my soul.
I like breaking stuff... especially when it makes pretty stuff happen. Ever since I was seven years old I have gone marauding into the woods behind my parents house in search of the ugly bumpy boulders that when broken (with a hammer or by means of just throwing them over and over again) reveal their true inner beauty.
A combination of chemicals and pressure turn the insides of these otherwise ugly stones into a beautiful crystallized landscape. Sometimes you find purple ones, yellow ones or pure white ones, more often than not you find dead ones that reveal a sickly brown murky inside. I had a revelation today that God does quite the same with people, allowing us to experience immense pressure and stress in order to turn us into something beautiful.
I imagine that God is doing that to me right now. He is allowing me to experience some of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with in life in order to turn my heart and soul into beautiful treasures to glorify Him.
That, despite my other agendas is my ONLY true purpose on this earth. I am here to glorify God.
