It's pick up day - -Take the trash out!

It's funny how when the trash can gets full, we automatically know it needs to be emptied. The only way we can continue to use it is if we "took out the trash". However we forget to apply this same concept to our lives. No one makes it a point to gather up junk in their lives. Gathering goes hand in hand with life's journey. We tend to pick up stuff we need now or  on a rainy day...we just gather. While sometimes we may pick up important items which may come in handy, we also tend to pick up items which will only harm us(bad habits and scars from friends and ex boyfriends). We sometimes get so afraid of being alone that we constantly fill up our lives with hobbies, church activities and people. But as we pile things up and go through life, we become overloaded and begin to overflow. It becomes too much to handle so we loose control and break down. We ask God for change, we tell Him we just want something new, but the issue is; we have no space for what He has in store. WE NEED TO MAKE ROOM! I emptying the trash! I am beginning to understand the beauty of being alone. What it means to be satisfied with God. Finding out who i really am, not from anyone else's perspective but from God's. Who He says i am! I'm emptying it all out, all the hurt, vein things i hold on to and every piece of junk i may have gathered along this journey. I'm giving Him space to work in me without the clutter. I'm finally getting rid of the fear of being alone and learning to love my own company.
