As some of you may know I am moving. So my last week has consisted of going through everything and packing for our move. I had decided that I was not going to take anything with me that I did not need, or had not looked at in the last couple of years, and so I started. I found things in storage that I forgot I even had, I found clothes that no longer fit, I found toys that the kids had outgrown, I found items that had memories attached to them (some good and some bad), and I found DUST! I decided that anything that was not needed or wanted was not moving with us, we were going to make a fresh, clean start!
As I sat here going through everything I started thinking about how I needed to have a “Moving Day” within myself, I need to go through the memories, thoughts, attitudes and clean out things that are no longer needed, get rid of ideals that I have outgrown and leave behind memories that are not the best. I need to clean out the dusty areas in my life that I have left neglected and I need to embrace a bright, clean new future.
I Corinthians 13:11 “When I was a child, I spake as a child I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”
So many times we try to hold on to things of the past ( like a spoiled child not wanting to let go)
which really keeps us from moving ahead the way God intended us too. There is a reason those clothes don’t fit anymore, and there is a reason that Barbie doll isn’t fun to play with, you have grown. If you had not grown think of all the things you would have missed.
Lord, teach me to let go of the unnecessary things in life and hang on the things that truly matter. Teach me to grow in you daily and not let anything hold me back.
