Today I got out in the garage and was going through some old boxes. These boxes are OLD!!! We have moved at least 2 or 3 times and they have never been opened. I knew that there couldn't be anything really important in there or we would have missed it by now. I came across some papers that were over 10 years old. As I was looking over everything and then shredding it, I couldn't help but remember different events that happened over the years. Some of the memories were good and some were not so happy. As I was getting rid of all this information, I thanked God for His grace and mercy and how far He has brought me. I also realized that I had not fully let go of some emotions and feelings that were associated with some of the memories.

I decided that today was the official Spring Cleaning day, not just cleaning out all the stuff in the garage, but allowing God to sweep out all of the old cobwebs of pain, hurt, past failures and bad attitudes. I can't tell you how good I felt standing out there praying in the garage. I felt a huge weight lift off of my shoulders that I had not even realized was still there.

Can I encourage you today to check for those pesky "cobwebs" that may be lurking around? Allow the Lord to minister to you and sweep away all the dust and dirt of what you've been trying to hold onto. Thanks to everyone for your comments, I love the feedback. I can't wait to hear your thoughts!
