Mystery of Transfiguration

The words lept from the page! Yes ... they summarized that moment in my life!!

"The call rings up the curtain, always, on a mystery of transfiguration. The familiar life horizon has been outgrown; the old concepts, ideals and emotional patterns no longer fit; the time for passing the threshold is at hand." ~~ Joseph Campbell

It was time for me to step out onto the stage of a new life ... to be transfigured. I could stay in my safe, small part of my world ... or I could dare to create a new life, embark on a new adventure, allow myself to be challenged ... only if I would dare ... to step out in faith ... to discard that which would hold me back ... to let go and reach out with empty hands!

"Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus"
~~ Phil 3:13,14
