Michele Sansanelli - Gods Eyes Mozambique I used to be one of those hang onto it just in case you need it in the future kind of gals. I carted boxes and boxes full of frivolous stuff from house to house. Move after move after move they sat in dusty attics, not opened once. Then there are little things...for example, the pair of chopsticks from a local chinese restaurant that have been sitting in a kitchen drawer for four years now. It never ceases to amaze me that I forget I have those things and never end up using them, therefore collecting additional pairs for future use of which I will forget about and add more to the drawer. How often do I eat Chinese food anyway? Maybe once every few months. In all seriousness, I have no issues throwing that kind of thing out these days. In fact, I have found that less is better. Declutter! Two moves ago I went into the attic, grabbed about thirty boxes and donated them without even opening. I figured that if I hadnt looked in them in over a year, what was inside was probably not important enough to keep. In some odd way, I slept better knowing that al of that stuff wasnt over my head at night. This kind of change doesnt upset my apple cart at all. In fact, I find it very satisfying! What does tip my cart a little is when God starts pressing me for a change in a direction that is unexpected; a direction that wasnt even on my radar. I can hear Him asking me, Do you trust Me? There are days that I want to answer Yes, but I just dont get it. I could maybe even stomp my feet (a little) and plead my case that this change is uncomfortable and I dont like it. He then asks, Do you trust Me?. I realize that after the second time of hearing the same question, I dont want to be like Peter and hear it a third. Father, I believe that You are sovereign over all things. I believe that You have what is best for me in my life. Forgive me for wavering. I trust You in writing my story and believe in You that all that You have for me is good whether I am capable of understanding it or not. Thank You for opening my eyes today to letting go to make room for something else. For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven... Ecclesiastes 3:1 As the seasons of life continue to change, You will always be constant and dependable, for You are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. I am so grateful for that security.
