Day 44.  Closed, open.closed, open.  That's what this butterfly was doing with his wings.  Dugan noted that when his wings were closed they matched the bark on the branch he was sitting on.  So when they were closed he was very camouflaged.  When they were open he was very noticeable.  But, when he was quickly opening and closing them it was like a strobe light.  He wasn't trying to scare me, he was trying to get the attention on the other butterflies around.  Some times I stay all closed up because I don't want to draw attention to myself, and sometimes I open up.  I really don't like to be in the spotlight so I don't open up much.  It makes me feel vulnerable.  One thing about ministry that really blesses me is how the Holy Spirit opens me up and uses me.  But, it's not me that is showing off it is the Holy Spirit bringing glory to the Father.  If I show off for myself I don't shine nearly as bright as when He shows through me.  And that is alright with me.
