In 2004, when I lost my job, my world changed, and I prayed all the time.  I was so hurt and devasted that I had been fired!  There was no comfort in the fact that the new boss was firing all the old administrators and bringing in his own people.  There was no comfort in the fact that I was no longer happy where I was and that I was constantly praying for the Lord to show me what he wanted me to do next.  He allowed me to be removed from the situation, but it was certainly not what I was expecting!

I told the Lord that I felt Humpty Dumpty who fell off the wall and shattered into a bunch of pieces.   

The answer I received was that we can be like clear panes of glass, or we can let Him put us back together every time we break, piece by piece into a beautiful Stained Glass Window.  The more we break, the more intricate He can make the Stained Glass Window of our life.

Once again, I knew that he was in control and in charge of my life.  He is molding me every day into what He wants me to be, not into what I think it should be.
