My Hut is Burning

I know this to be true.
But I have learned that this is a very good thing.
what?
yes, really.
I have come to see
and expect
that God is leveling my life
to make room
for something much much better.

MY HUT IS BURNING
in other words;
all my security,
all my 'stuff'',
my safety is going up in flames.

Currently, I am letting go,
and expectantly waiting for what is next.

Sort of feels like the lottery.
naw, that's cheesy.
Feels like...
childbirth? Great analogy, but way overdone.

You know that feeling? Right?
The one in your soul;
the stirring you get when you KNOW something great
is coming up in your life.
Like; wedding day, moving day, graduation day...
all are open to possibilities and excitement
The promise of something NEW, DIFFERENT, BETTER.

Change is hard and sometimes uncomfortable
but it ALWAYS brings something better.
If not right away, then later
through the painful process.
IF I am looking for the lesson.

Yep, my hut is burning.
Others are watching
and coming to my aide.
Encouragement, support, love, hugs,
groceries on my doorstep, and my favorite;
perspective.
These people have helped build the scaffolding of my faith
my new found dig-my-feet-in-the-ground kind of faith.
I am truly experiencing the peace that passes all understanding
the peace that ONLY comes from God.
What a journey this has been,
what a lesson;
humbling, scary,
but just like the guy stranded on the island, who thought he lost everything,
the burning of that hut is the smoke signal to my rescue!
