One expression that has been hard for me to understand is, "It's going to get worse before it gets better".
One day in a lumber yard a customer commented to the owner the he had learned when cutting the metal band from around the lumber bundle he had to stand back as the metal band can strike out and possibly even hurt a person.
This thought projected a picture in my mind of bundles of wood being bound up. The wood bundles are needed for building and for repairs but the potential for this good has to released from the tight holding metal band. That time of release of pressure is a wild and uncertain time. Which way will the flying metal band go? A person has to stand clear and watch it happen before being able to work with the elements needed to build and accomplish what is needing to be done.
I think in life when a person is at a point when a release is needed to free and liberate that person into having a better life there can be a time of uncertainty for awhile. This is a worse time before a better time. But once that time has passed all the components are free to work with to build a better life, to repair a broken life and to enjoy the results.
