This week I got rid of 2 HUGE boxes of clothes. Well actually, they're full but I haven't gotten rid of them yet. I'm actually going to thrift my items in one box. The items that are hardly or never worn. The other box I'm giving to a thrift shop called Morningstar. This shop is owned by the church Morningstar in La Habra. Items include, vests, jackets, coats, sweaters, long sleeves, short sleeves, tanks, and a ton of pants. My closet has downsized a lot! It's going to be perfect for my new moving situation.
What I'm about to share is more important and is my thoughts and my heart, as well as the things I'm learning throughout my shedding experience:
I was reading through an old journal and came across this gem: Heb. 13:5 "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'never will I leave you, never will I forsake you." This really hits home for me as I was looking over my finances Tuesday. I realized once I move I will have way less money than I do now. At first the worries of how I will survive have crossed my mind, but then i read that verse and realize that the ultimate provider is with me, and with that i have everything and so much more. Really, the money that I'm "losing" is actually not harming me. It is causing me to budget and spend only where needed. It's helping me grow and focus better on whats important. Even in those tight moments He will provide. My prayer is I will always want more of Christ, and less of money/material things. In all of this I can say, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want" (Psalm 23:1)
