Just how does one set about eating an elephant? The (grinning) response is "One bite at a time!" It is the same with any large task, really. Taken all-at-once it may possibly be overwhelming. Once you organize it into steps, stages, and logical pieces, you're able to see how to make it happen, bit by bit. Your specific steps can each be relatively easy, something that's no big deal, which can be done. And when you've done each of the small-task steps, you gaze back and find out that now you have gotten the whole formidable-task thing done. That's exactly how it is with the way to create shed plans for life - to shape your "cottage" for Christ. Here then is how you approach the elephantine-task of creating shed plans that shape your "cottage" for Christ, in 7 easy steps.
Step 1. Remove the contents of this shed that would hinder you from being able to seek the most fulfilling aspects of existence. With this you'll want to make certain that you clean the interior walls, using bleach if necessary to remove mold and mildew. It will also be necessary for you to scrub the floors and, once cleaned, to give it some time to dry out. If you do not do that or neglect it, you will probably have the clutter in your life to distract you from your goal.
Step 2. You must replace the door to your heart. Your shed plans must include He who is described as the Way. I can recall as a child seeing a picture my mother had on the wall. It was a picture of Christ standing on the outside, knocking on the door. The thing that always fascinated me was the fact that there was no doorknob on the outside. Clearly, this represented the need to open the door from the inside if Christ were to come in to dwell. This step can be quite important because this opens your life to new possibilities and experiences.
Step 3. Make certain that you examine your structure very carefully. This means that we are often involved in things that really have a very weak foundation. Failure to establish a good foundation makes us vulnerable to every "wind of doctrine" to which we are subjected. Remember, it will be extremely important for you to replace this with a very durable material. This can additionally mean that you must choose your associations/friends with care.
Step 4. Insulate the walls of your life. Although we are often filled with fear and strife, the Bible clearly tells us that God will always be with us, irrespective of the circumstances. This may involve letting go of self-reliance and coming to grips with the fact that it is Christ and Christ alone who insulates the walls of our lives.
Step 5. Make certain that the windows of your life are cleaned and, if necessary, replaced. Among the important points to bear in mind here is that as we look through the "windows" that constitute our lives, we see through those windows utilizing our own filters. Why this might be important is that our view of life will be greatly affected by the experiences we've had in life and conclusions we've drawn therefrom. Make certain, that once you've either cleaned or replaced those windows, to caulk around those windows to ensure that nothing seeps in from the outside that can harm your dwelling.
Step 6. When you seek counsel, make certain that you seek it from someone who is qualified to provide that counsel. This is something that requires due-diligence and guidance from the Holy Spirit.
Step 7. Don't neglect the exterior of your cottage. Your shed plans should include things that would improve not only the exterior of the building, but also the landscaping around that building. Great! Now you're almost there! Don't forget, your shed plans should include ways to shape your "cottage" for a meaningful existence.
Should you stick to the steps outlined above, with time the enormous elephant of a challenge you faced is going to be "eaten up" and dealt with. You'll be successful, complete your project and enjoy your winner's rewards, the fruits and advantages of your victory! Congratulations on your victory! You took on a big challenge, conquered it and won, one step at a time!
