Spring Cleaning

In my newfound spiritual "cleanliness," I have found myself wanting to clean. My desk, the house, the laundry, the yard. Today, it was the garage. I am generally not someone who cleans anything. I hate cleaning. Yet over the past couple weeks, I seem to have this desire to clean things. I am guessing that the Lord is using it as a symbol for me and my life (I can't justify it any other way).

In the past, while claiming to be a Christian, I was unclean. I was full of unrepented sin, guilt, anger, and all the baggage that comes along with not being right with God. I am working really hard these days to walk the right path...I guess that's why I want to clean up the areas I walk in!

...it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations, that you may distinguish between holy and unholy, and between clean and unclean. Lev 10:9-10

And he set the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the LORD, so that no one who was in any way unclean should enter. 2 Chronicles 23:19

Tonight, Bob and I attended "date night" at church, where we talked about marriage. What a great place to start cleaning! A strong marriage based around faith in God is the rock for a solid family. For well structured children, and for as good of a life here on Earth that one can have. I look forward to strengthening our marriage through Him, and I know that we are already on the path to get there!

We joke with the church leaders that we are just going to pitch a tent at VCC because we've been there so much lately... I am so glad that we found VCC! Valley Creek and its leaders have been instrumental (through the Holy Spirit, of course) in getting Bob and I where we are today, and I can't wait for Thursday night when we can walk into the house of our Lord again!
