Changed

This project is on the whole, a collage of my thoughts and inspirations from Spiritual Formation. I have tried to concentrate on the weakest aspects of my formation, yet unexpectedly, the weakest parts were mixed in with the strong parts, to renew the weak.

The first slide shows all the different Spiritual Formation elements with the Trinity at the centre as I see that as central to everything for forms my spirituality. I have used a picture of Ephesus for the representation of wind. It was in Turkey where my inspiration empowerment was strongly initiated and was driven into my soul. Therefore it was appropriate to use that picture.

Next slide, we see the chrysalis. I have felt my life spiritually changing over the past year like the chrysalis changes. The element of water has changed around me over the past year. I had felt like a caterpillar, trapped in its' chrysalis and it took a huge leap of faith to break out of it... Quotes and messages from fellow students have been such as blessing and encouragement on my journey.

Next, I commented on earth. Sometimes, that has been the weakest part of my spiritual formation. Yet, aspects of what had been previously weak, were used to make me strong.. As explained in my postings, the sharing of the Lord's Supper in my 'water' community, sparked off something new and gave me a fresh vision of sharing something intimate with my most intimate community...

Water - this is about community but I have commented it on as the physical element too, that when it rushes around me, I will not let it drown me but learn to ride through it and 'dance in the rain'. Someone prophesied over me a few months ago and kept mentioning the word 'butterfly' and 'release' so to see this in my studies has been like a revelation coming true.

My desire is to fully live out the dreams of my life in butterfly form...living life spiritually free, formed into the likeness of Christ.
