Waiting to Hatch
I know that the name of this blog may not make a whole lot of sense, but I'm going to put forth an effort to explain it. I'm a big fan of C. S. Lewis. He was a brilliant man that spent many years comtemplating and wrestling with some of life's biggest and most complex questions. Not only that, he had a pretty decent sense of humor which is always appreciated. He had a wonderful gift of taking complicated ideas and putting them into metaphors that made more sense. That being said, here's the quote that I got my idea from:"It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad."
Many many times, I find myself trying to "fly" in certain areas of my life in which I haven't "hatched" yet. In this lifestyle, it seems encouraged to take shortcuts and skip steps and as a result our goal is less fulfilling, less meaningful, and all around just not as good as it could be. I want to fly. Not just hop off the ground a little bit. Therefore I'm an egg, waiting to hatch.
