when did the dance floor become so crowded? when did the 'stuff' start taking over my life....crippling me, frustrating me, getting in the way? what is exactly is all this stuff and why do i think i need it?
it's not that i want an empty dance floor. actually some of the stuff is very useful. but i think i've allowed it to take over my dependence upon Him. would i be able to walk away, if needed? would i be willing to lose it, if asked? would i give it all up in exchange for a much simpler life? i don't know the answers to those questions right now.....because i am smack dab in the middle of all this stuff.
so my prayer is this: Dear God, please grant me simplicity! i need the ability to say no and stop buying stuff. i need the desire to live with what is necessary and not think that i need everything. i want my life to truly be a reflection of the beautiful creation you are making me. but right now....i can't see that because of all the stuff.
and while i'm clearing things that are visible - i want to make sure that i'm being purified and cleaned on the inside: my heart, mind and soul.
it is not going to be easy to change my ways. it will take a lot of time to sort through everything. i'll need courage to allow the things that have been hidden for so long to come to the surface. but i know that it will be worth it. so that i can dance freely for His glory.
what is in the way of you being free to dance?
