one box at a time...

I woke up this morning with less on my mind than yesterday.  It sure helps to empty the old "things I'm anxious about" box stored in your inner most being before going to sleep.  I have found if I don't, the boxes collect and clutter the space that God calls his own.  Imagine coming home one day and someone just had thousands of boxes moved into your space that are full of nothing but junk.  How upset would you be?  Every living space full of someone Else's crap?  I would be furious.  This was my thoughts as I took an honest look at my one box last night labeled, January 29th, 2009.  I knew that if I let that one box slide, there would be more coming behind it. I opened the box and took an honest look prayerfully at what was so heavy on my mind.  As I metaphorically took each item out I found some of the items to be more weighty than others.  Then I realized Biblically that these were mine to give away, not overly own and worry about.  I found God fully willing to take ownership of the box and all its contents.  I woke up this morning without a box of concerns that I owned just last night.  God is so good and so faithful as we cast all our care on him.  I found this morning that less was on my mind, which aloud Him to consume my thoughts.
