Moving On

These past few months have been incredibly busy in our home . The large desk calendar filling up pretty fast with activities , but the social scene is not the only change . Inner changes are happening in every crook and crevice leaving behind all things that are unwanted and ugly . Beauty becomes exposed . Some changes are necessary .

Ahh , those changes . It all began with Emily cleaning out some old boxes filled with her childhood momentos . Those things we like to hold on to for no other reason except not wanting to let go  . . . maturing . . .growing . . changing .

After all these years , she threw them out without any hesitation . Then came the chest of drawers , the closet , the knick knacks .....things were sifted through and discarded . Some tears were spilled .

I stood and looked at the pile discarded , getting bigger  and bigger , completely amazed . Then I looked inside my room  . . . the hoarders room . Why am I holding on to clothes that will never fit me again ? Shoes that are way too tight for my big feet ? That handbag that will never come back in style again ? Why can't I let go like Emily ?

We need to let go of the old to get on with the new .

We have such a hard time letting go of things , but they are just things . Emily has always had a tough time with change , yet here she was letting go . Why ?  Jesus has entered her heart and she knows she can't go backwards , only move forward .

We need to let go of the old to get on with the new .

It's time . Have a Blessed day everyone .
