Change

I LOVE to organize, rearrange furniture in my house, and clean out. Every couple months I've been known to even rearrange my kitchen appliances on my counter and the cabinets. It drives my family crazy sometimes especially in the kitchen. If you come to visit us you never know what my bathroom downstairs will look like because I'm constantly rotating the shower curtains and decor. We are blessed with three full bathrooms ( I NEVER complain about that! I LOVE IT after living in a house with only one bathroom before we went into full time Pastoral ministry it's a fabulous thing! ) Even at the bank I've been known to change my desk around often. Most of the people who know me just giggle.

Here's the thing though those are all outward surface changes for this OCD woman. Nothing like a clean surface and a change of pace. Keep it neat clean and current. 

Unfortunately everything in my life (and I am confident in yours too if your reading this) isn't as tidy and willing to change so easily. Spiritual, mental and physical it's just not as easy. My prayer is that it WILL BE! I'm rearranging some things and changing things up for me. I challenge you if your reading this don't just surface clean your heart, soul and mind. Purge it and let The Lord purify it. There's nothing taking out the "trash" in you spirit! 

Be blessed this week! 

Redeemed

I have become lazy at blogging. There I said it. I have all of my thoughts in my mind and my heart but by the time I get to the post it I'm so tired I can't type another thing. It's pitiful really. I mean it's not as though I have a busy schedule. (Insert hysterical laugh). 

Really though. I am going to try to do better. This past weekend was simply amazing. We took a group of our middle and high school students to Wintetfest in Knoxville and it was so refreshing to sing and to hear the Word preached and just soak it all up. 

After arriving back last night we got to sit under the singing and ministry of a retired Pastor and his wife and it was AWESOME. Just what my spirit and mind needed. 

I'm so thankful that The Lord is faithful and present in my life. After such a powerful work and move of the Holy Spirit last night in our services I was reminded where He has brought me from since 1992/1993. 

I am redeemed!
