Decluttering of my home is going slowly but it is moving forward...Have thrown out several bags of old things, made several donation boxes, another group of items getting ready to go into a garage sale..Other items I started listing on Ebay yesterday and some items are being packed in boxes for my kids..I totally see the prophetic picture of my house being a picture of myself...The house is way too full of too many things....some loved and some not so loved..some items totally necessary at one point in my life or during different seasons but time to let go of now..Then there are the excesses and different passing hobbies and interests...What an interesting symbolic picture of ME. When I am overly busy and stressed out my home gets messier, fuller and chaotic..an easy guage to measure and follow what is going on with me emotionally and physically....so graphic and undeniable...So I figure if God and I take one room at a time...one pound at a time...and declutter, sell off, donate unneeded things it is giving me a physical picture of myself removing things from my mind and body that are no longer needed ...This would obviously include unneeded weight..any obstacles blocking the "new" from coming forth..I've learned over the years if I want my life to change in some way, then I have to clear a space to allow that change to happen...That may be a clearing of things, people, thoughts, old patterns, weight and foods that don't make me feel good, etc...So onward I go with God by my side to lighten the load and uncover the newest adventure "weighting" on the other side...May we all be encouraged to find our greatest selves knowing that God LOVES us and desires our GREATEST GOOD!
