Life is about the journey, it is not about "being, but becoming."
becoming…adj. fit, suitable, congruous, proper, graceful, belonging to the character or adapted to circumstances…
"This life, therefore, is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness; not health, but healing; not being, but becoming; not rest, but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it. The process is not yet finished, but it is going on. This is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified."--- Martin Luther, *Defense of All the Articles*, Lazareth transl., as found in Grace Brame, *Receptive Prayer* (Chalice Press, 1985) p.119(Thank you Bella Art Girl for the quote!)
The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one’s ‘own,’ or ‘real’ life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life—the life God is sending one day by day; what one calls one’s ‘real life’ is a phantom of one’s own imagination. This at least is what I see at moments of insight: but it’s hard to remember it all the time.--C. S. Lewis
The most extraordinary thing in the world is an ordinary man and an ordinary woman and their ordinary children.--G.K. Chesterton
Greenleaf Academy "Put your hand in mine and let us help one another to see things better." ~Monet
It is some times challenging to determine what is "school" and what is just life. And that is one of the reasons we educate as we do, because all of life is full of lessons to learn-sometimes from a textbook, sometimes not.
