No Dumb Girls Allowed Phyllis Matthews

Butterflies experience a "complete metamorphosis", before developing into an adult. There are four distinct stages in which this evolution takes place, each stage helps develop their existence, resulting in something beautiful. In "No Dumb Girls Allowed", you witness the "spiritual metamorphosis" of someone much like a butterfly. Unlike the butterfly, this person is already by age an adult, but not by maturity. This is an actual account of my butterfly-like transformation into something more beautiful.




Butterflies also experience various stages of shedding. Well, I too, experienced stages of shedding, it was the shedding of my "old nature", as a Christian. After accepting Christ as my personal Savior, I remained detached, unstable, misled and broken. Which means, I was stagnant for many years. Regrettably, however, I did not recognize the disorder, which initiated a major personal "lightbulb moment" in my life. My lightbulb moment left me broken and in pieces. So much so, I cried uncontrollably for days. However, my awakening catapulted me into an extraordinary journey with God. Which caused me to transition through many life cycles just like the amazing butterfly.




In reality, no sober-minded individual chooses to roam around 'detached, unstable, misled and broken. Although, we live in a society where countless people are detached from reality, unstable in their day-to-day lives, misled in their thoughts, and they carry broken hearts. This is not the way to live since God has given us abundant life. God sincerely desires people to become progressive. God never intended stagnation. Stagnation is marked by a lack of spiritual maturity, growth, and development. Through this writing, my intent is that others learn through my mistakes, grow from my ignorance and ultimately, lead Godly lives. 2 Peter 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
