my living space...

hello again...it's been a LONG time since i've blogged about anything (but trust me, there was more than enough to be said!). today, however, i am compelled to blog....

i'm in fasting today (for the first time in MONTHS!) and as i was talking to God this morning it occurred to me that there is a lot in my life that is wrong and that needs to be dealt with. at the same time, i though about my new apartment (i live by myself now, yay!) and how clean it is and i thought about how weird that is for me. usually my living space is a direct reflection of my life. if it is a mess, my life is also a mess. but this time, my living space is not only clean, but completely organized...but then the Holy Spirit reminded me of one closet that i have that is in total disarray and has been that way since i moved in. it's the storage closet and all the knickknacks that i have that don't have a proper place yet were just tossed in that closet in no particular order. suddenly, i realized that my living space IS a reflection of my life. the most visible part of my life appears to be clean and organized, but tucked away in the back...in the recesses of my soul and mind is mess...mess that has been there for quite some time, mess that i am aware of, but am reluctant to do anything about.

well, it's time to clean out the closet. hopefully, someone who is reading this knows exactly what i am talking about and will touch and agree with me in this new endeavour.
