We all need encouragement from time to time. A story that lifts our spirit, a smile our way when we are having a rough day, flowers just because...my blog tonight is encouragement for anyone out there who is holding onto somethings that God is whispering to you to release.
Some of you know I was led to move back to Wisconsin (home) for a time a few months ago. I arranged to have my friend move into my place or should I say, God arranged her to move in, and even before I started packing I felt God say "leave all that you can Miranda, leave your furniture, dishes, a bed, dresser, television...etc." Okay Lord. I just knew I was supposed to bless her with a fully furnished condo. My family back home thought I was nuts moving home with next to nothing, but I had what I needed, my clothes and my bed (she had hers). It was freeing to me leaving my "stuff" behind, after all it is just stuff, and she needed it more than I. I am not going to lie, living at home again after 12 years being on my own has been harder than I thought, but I just kept thanking God for my new place and things to fill it with. Last week out of the blue I found a perfect place for my daughter and I. Two days ago, my uncle called me up and said someone is paying me to empty this house out, come and have your pick of everything you need. Praise the Lord!!! I still am in awe of the 2 beds, dressers, desk, entertainment center, 2 televisions, lamps, stands, all kitchen ware...and so much more. God is so good and so faithful!
If God has brought anything to your heart as you were reading my story that you may be holding onto too tightly, release it to Him and watch as He gives it back to you, good measure, pressed down, and shaken together!
