Baggage....

Well, the countdown is on for the big move to Ava. We have begun to pack all of the belongings that we have accumulated in four short years. You don't really realize how many "things" you have until you have to try to fit them all in 21 feet of moving van space! WOW! Where did it all come from? So we are trying to downsize as much as we can in order to make the move as smooth as possible! We are already at 125 banana boxes plus furniture.

You know, each of our lives are very similar. Over the past 10, 15, 20, or even more years we have accumulated alot of baggage...haven't we? Perhaps thoughts of the past, hurt, pain, and many other things are hiding in closets and hindering our walk with YHWH. Perhaps today, is a good time to begin to take inventory in our Spiritual Lives and see what impediments there are that hold us back from fulfilling the best that YHWH has in store for us. HE tells us to:

"Mat 11:28 -30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Why don't you stop right now, and look at your life. What anger, pain, and hurt can you get rid of? What burdens are there that YHWH can lighten? Ask HIM to take these things from you and to replace them with Shalom (Nothing Missing; Nothing Broken), with Love, and with Joy! YHWH has promised that our lives can be free of these hinderances, if we will trust HIM with the outcome. And then keep your hearts free from any encumberances by keeping your focus on YHWH...

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Phil 4:8)

Have a great time packing....
All Love and Shalom....
David
