Take Out The Trash!

Its funny how alot of times we feel so weighed down in life that it immobilizes us and we can't figure out why. I know I have done that. The truth is, we carry alot of baggage around with us~baggage that is over the limit, unnecessary baggage, baggage that does not belong and is not meant to go on the journey with us!! I'm talking about emotional baggage. You know, the junk we carry around in our hearts and in our minds that sometimes keeps us from even getting on the right road much less being able to travel that road! Is it that this stuff is familiar? Is it like a ratty old blanket that we don't want to get rid of because it USED TO contain happy memories? Maybe thats it....we have good memories attached to the baggage even though the baggage is now poisonous and toxic to our system. But thats the point. It is now toxic to our system and we need to get rid of it. Drop it at the curb. Take it to the dump. Throw it off a cliff...the baggage, not you. lol You (and I) were made for things so much greater than what that baggage represents. And when you get rid of that baggage~and I mean get RID of the baggage...don't save it for later so you can pick it back up again~but when you get rid of it, you will feel a freedom that will give you the ability to RUN the race with agility. You will no longer be dragging the toxic waste, but will be free. The journey is worth it. No matter what has brought us to this place in time~the good, the bad, the ugly, the mistakes, whatever has happened in life~God takes all those things and creates an even better plan for you. His grace is sufficient for me and for you.
