Last night we went to look at a new house to rent. We are currently downsizing. So we are going from a 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 story house that is just huge... Going to a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, little house.
What is wrong with this? The guy was trying to talk us out of it. He kept asking if we understood how hard it was to cut our living space by way over half... My question to him should have been... well shouldn't everyone be cutting their living space down? Our home is really not here... So why do I and everyone I know keep thinking that it is?
Why must we hold on to the items that tie us down? I get a feeling of being free when I think about all of the stuff that I can get rid of. If I look at all I have and really see just what it is that I need I could cut out almost everything.
I need Jesus. That is really all that I need. I want my family, I want a house, I want food, and I want something to drink. I also want my dogs. I really want my Bible. Everything else can go. It really can go. I just want it to go.
So here you are with my on this journey to make it go. I will keep you updated on the stuff that just goes and what I end up keeping. I have to let it go in order to find out what it is that God wants me to do. I feel buried below all of this stuff. I need to dig my way out.
