Transformation means different things in different fields, such as, mathematics, linguistics, and genetics. But, in general, it means a marked change in appearance or character - usually for the better.
On this blog, I've posted pictures of various transformations:
This last two weeks have been full of new adventures for me...rejuvenating....refreshing....possibly life-changing....but I am exhausted:
I need to pay attention, though! Tired or not...I do want to be God's woman....so maybe cranky, sharp with my tongue, snippy/snappy, grouchy are not part of the God's woman picture....anyway, today, in the airport, Steve quoted me these words from scripture...they have my attention:
Proverbs 21:99 "It is better to live in a corner of a roof, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman."

This last two weeks have been full of new adventures for me...rejuvenating....refreshing....possibly life-changing....but I am exhausted:
- I went to the Sikes' Family Reunion in Estes Park, CO without Steve for the first time ever....slept several nights on a couch in the "great room" of the lodge. (enjoyed late night teens and college kids AND very early morning breakfast chefs).
- Steve and I had our "new book" (still needs many revisions) for our How God Does Family seminar in Boulder, CO.
- Traveled to Oregon with Steve to the Structure of Intellect conference but Steve stayed in the cabin for R & R while I attended.
- Flew home from this years reunion and conference to our new home in New Jersey.
I need to pay attention, though! Tired or not...I do want to be God's woman....so maybe cranky, sharp with my tongue, snippy/snappy, grouchy are not part of the God's woman picture....anyway, today, in the airport, Steve quoted me these words from scripture...they have my attention:
Proverbs 21:99 "It is better to live in a corner of a roof, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman."
- It's more food for thought in my transformation process....
- thank you Steve....
- thank You Holy Spirit!

I like your statement "tired or not" needing to live and act like a christian. I am exhausted. Lexi and I traveled to NM where we both caught a stomach virus, had an awful flight home and them met my mother-in-law at the airport. Then two of Matthew's sister flew in, while it has been good to have family, I am exhausted from driving them all over. my naps are hugely important, since we are up several times all night and I haven't had a nap in 2 weeks. Though my MIL did do one of the night feedings and I got to sleep through one night. But I am tired now and ready to explode...that is especially when I need God to help me. Thank you Patti for writing these words today. Because of this post, we have probably avoided a big blow up where I loose my patience and say something hurtful to family members who are actually very sweet.
