The past few months I found myself digging deep into my closets to try to get ready for a garage sale. Let me tell you, it was quite the process! I think I found enough sweaters to have an ugly sweater party for the next ten years :) I spent hours of time cleaning only to earn about $30 come garage sale time. While the monetary profit may not have been significant, the feeling of having a clean closet now is amazing :) You see, now I have room for some new things that I will use more often.
Often as we go about our normal, busy routines and accumulate different possessions, we fail to remember what we even have stashed away in those closets. Sometimes, we know there is so much inside that we shouldn’t keep, but we are too lazy to make the effort to sort through things. Well, I hate to say it but sometimes the journey of life is the same way. Just like we find different kinds of things stored away in our closets in the home, we will find things in our “closets” of life that need to be sorted through. We need to sort through some things in our lives and either organize them so that they are in line with what God wants them to be or else get rid of them (declutter) in order to make room for some new things that God wants to be there. When cleaning my closet at home, I found three different types of items inside that resemble the types of things that I have in my “closets” of life that I need to ask the Lord to help me to sort through.
