I just read a wonderful article on Caterpillars, Butterflies and Change at:
Below is a sample of the article
A story is told of a caterpillar named Yellow who was trying to find out what she should be doing with her life. In her wanderings she discovered another caterpillar seemingly caught in some gauzy, hairy filament. Concerned, she asked if she could help. He explained that this was all part of the process of becoming a butterfly.
When she heard the word butterfly, her whole insides leapt. “But what is a butterfly?”
The cocooned caterpillar explained: “It’s what you are meant to become.”
Yellow was intrigued but a bit defiant. “How can I believe there’s a butterfly inside you or me when all I see is a fuzzy worm?”
On further reflection she pensively asked, “How does one become a butterfly?”
And the answer? “You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.”

I am joining you in your prayer for change. I believe like a caterpillar, you are being transformed right now and God is working with and watching over you. Transformation is not an easy task. It requires overcoming fears, dealing with challenges and allowing God to be in charge. It requires faith. Continue moving forward. You are not alone and you are already changing.
