When Life Gives You Lemons

Sometimes life hands you lemons. And sometimes those lemons make freaking chocolate cake. You know what I mean? Like, maybe the most bitter circumstances can create the most beautiful beginnings. Or something that was too hard or too heavy or too much transforms into that one lesson that significantly changes everything. I saw this quote and it just felt right. It was one of those thoughts that makes your bones tingle.

For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction. 

-Cynthia Occelli

I feel like a bit of a construction zone these days. I am just grateful that despite every lemon and all the cracks, He is there. He is there to give us glimmers of hope and to bind us up when that beautiful beginning is nowhere in site.
