Just Beginning!

If you have ever moved, you know it can be very challenging.  Moving from a large place to a smaller space we have done.  Now again, the Lord is challenging us to simplify even more and moving our family into 28

ft 5th wheel trailer and I am telling you, lots of prayers and speaking to the Lord has been a priority the past two days. 

 

We have fit or tried to fit a closet full of clothes & "STUFF" into a tiny space in our trailer.  Amanda is frustrated & I keep calming her down by telling her, "If it doesn't fit we can just donate it honey."

 

She keeps telling me we are trying to fit a size 18 girl into a size 5 dress.  I thinks it is funny in a weird way. 

 

Which  leads me to a verse about "treasures"  As humans we like to feel our treasures are right here.  In our possession, we can see, feel, taste & buy all the comforts of this world.  But as Followers of Christ where is our heart?  Here on earth or in heaven?

 

Christ does not want us to store up "stuff"  He wants to empty us so we can be more filled with Him. 

 

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  Matthew 6:20 

 

  

 

We are being emptied of our stuff to be filled more of Him!

 

Thank you Lord for challenging us and putting us out of our comfort zone to better serve you in you Kingdom.

 

 

Till next time, allow an open heart for the Lord to work in your life for His Glory.
