While everyone is talking about cleaning, I'm not (not that I do very often anyway). I'm getting messy.
It feels so good to get your hands dirty...
And to wiggle your toes in the mud...
So I've decided that I'm not cleaning this spring...I'm going to let the Lord do spring cleaning around here. Let's face it, he's way better at everything, so why not?
Lately I've realized that I need some change. I've been itching for some change for a while now, but it's just been recently that He's brought to my attention that the change I'm longing for isn't a move, or a change in what I do, it's a change in how I live.
So I've started praying a little prayer. That little prayer goes something like, 'Lord, please come mess with me. Knock down all of these pieces that I've placed so carefully, and build them up your way. I'm not ready, but please have your way in me.'
That's a scary little prayer, for me anyway. I like having things just so, and I like being the one in charge of my life. But that really isn't a good idea.
Most of the time, when I think I know what I'm doing, I really don't. I'm just winging it, and it may sound good on the surface, but underneath is a raging sea of doubt and worry and questions. All of that takes a lot of energy, and honestly, I don't want to spend all of my energy on those things anymore. So I'm giving it to Him.
Cleaning up and rebuilding takes time, and it gets messy...
Are you ready to get messy?
