anchors

Whenever I am sorting thru some of my stuff - I wonder where it all comes from. You'd think that I would know... I am the reason why it is there. I have a hard time throwing things away. Why do I keep so much meaningless amounts of paperwork? I have bank statements and bill stubs and invoices and receipts from years ago. What I am I supposed to do with all of that? I need to eliminate and simplify and shred....

So, at church tonight we were talking about the things in our lives that act like an anchor holding us down and distracting us from being the person that God wants us to be. Clutter... Things that are not important that we spend too much time on.... thinking about.... dreaming about..... What do I think I am holding onto that I need to let go of? More important than that - what does God think I need to let go of?

    Aren't we being thought provocing things? WOW...Making me think, and I will hear that message this AM in church, too. Thanks for the heads up helping me to prepare to deal with stuff in my world that falls in that same category. Just go down in the basement, for instance. What are in all those boxes anyway??! It is my prayer to be an effective believer and example every day, and if that means eliminating junk ~ so be it!
