I love this analogy...
It came to me this morning, while drinking my morning coffee. Im in the midst of the biggest remodeling project of my life! Big parts of the life I built together with my wife no longer fit. Ive got to figure out what I can retain as is, what I need to let go, and what I need to remodel. Im going to have to tear down some walls, rip up some carpet, and throw away some outdated, now useless furniture. But Ive got to do it in such a way that I do not tear down anything that holds my life together. Then Ive got to remodel my life to suit new purposes and goals.
