Synopsis The Consecrated Cocoon by : Ann Thomas
Ever paid attention to a picture of a caterpillar in a cocoon? Ever wondered what's going on inside as she's changing from a crawling, not so attractive creature to one that's beautiful and soars? I'll tell you what's happening? The same thing that occurs when God draws us into a lonely place of intimate isolation to prepare us for radical and life-transforming changes. The caterpillar's internal and external features are undergoing drastic changes. She loses everything that's no longer needed when she becomes a butterfly. Among many changes is the loss of her mouth and feet, while she gains more eyes. Hanging upside down in total surrender to the process; the old things are dying off to make room for the new. And so it is with you and me when God's about to transform us into the women we desire and were created to be. We must lose our mouth (not speak against what God is doing); our feet (remain in the process), and gain eyes to see things from God's perspective. The caterpillar's old cells represent our sin and unhealthy baggage that God must remove such as, bitterness, lack of self-worth, shame, pride, and unforgiveness. These must go to make room for what the butterfly needs to soar. We initially hate and even fight the process of retreating to our spiritual cocoon, only to find an intimacy, love, and power we never knew existed. Yes, God draws us into isolation, but once we stop kicking and screaming and surrender; we realize that we yearn to be with God as much as He desires to be with us. When God has His perfect way in the process, we emerge more powerful than we could have imagined, ready to pursue our God-given purpose and destiny.

Synopsis The New Consecrated Cocoon by : Ann Thomas
Ever wondered what's going on inside of a caterpillar's cocoon as she's changing from a crawling, not so attractive creature to one that's beautiful and soars? The same thing that occurs when God draws us into our spiritual cocoon (a lonely place of intimate isolation) to prepare us for radical and life-transforming changes.The caterpillar is literally dying to her old life so her new life can come forth. She's losing everything that will no longer be a part of her identity when she becomes a butterfly. She hangs upside down in complete surrender to the process as she loses her mouth and feet and gains more eyes. In our cocoon, we too lose our feet so we can't run from the process. We lose our mouth so we can't verbally abort what God is doing. And we gain more eyes to see ourselves the way God sees us. Like the butterfly, God must rid us of anything that would hinder our ability to soar. We show up in our cocoon broken, disappointed, rejected, full of shame, and questioning our worth. And God, exchanges our pain for His purpose. He gives us His unconditional love, peace, acceptance, and worth.To embrace the new we must be willing to let go of the old. When we allow God to renew, restore, refresh and refine us - we emerge as powerful beings ready to soar into our purpose and destiny in Christ.
