Rose, Christine and either Damaris or Grace are still coming on Saturdays at least twice a month to help me do housework. I have always found it hard to throw things away. I guess a hold-over from my childhood and my parents “we might need that someday” mentality. Over the past month the ladies have been helping me clean out and de-clutter all of my closets, cupboards and trunks. On the surface, things may not look much different but I have gotten rid of boxes and big plastic bags of stuff (clothes, fabric, dishes etc.) and I feel somehow emotionally lighter. Also, getting the 2016 books finished and sent for audit lifted a heavy cloud.
Jesus Calling today talked about “...there is no randomness about your life. Here and Now comprise the coordinates of your daily life. Most people let their moments slip through their fingers, half-lived…. they forget their Creator, who walks with them only in the present...”
Today I want to start over, asking God to refresh my heart and renew my spirit. Not so that I have something to teach…but so that I am once again aware of, connected to and walking in the light of, His Presence.
I was never much of a “feelings” person. In fact, growing up I really prided myself on being a strong, stoic, pioneer woman. Now I seem to be talking about how I “feel” quite a bit; which leaves me uncomfortable. On the other hand, once again feeling those Everlasting Arms would be a wonderful thing. On a remote level I know His arms are there, but I don’t want to be satisfied with remote any longer.
