| Seattle reminded me of beauty amidst gloom. |
Tonight at church, before taking communion we were reminded that before accepting the bread and blood of Christ we should have clean hearts. The goosebumps came, the tears started rolling, and I realized that my heart is in the crummiest of all crummy places. Asking for forgiveness has not been on the forefront of my mind, and boy oh boy has it been showing in my actions.
Toxicity in my life has been consuming the way I think - and my choices in faith have not remained steadfast in prayer or petition. I'm not vouching for an overnight change, I know that where I am at now is a result of choices - and that choices will bring me back to the dependency and reliance on God that I long for.
These tough choices I see at as my kryptonite, the toxic things that have defeated me. I vote for change and for me change is starting with purging and ridding my life of those things that choose the world and hinder me from craving God. The things I couldn't physically put in a trash can, I wrote on paper and threw away (I would burn them, but forest fires happen frequently around here).
Toxic choices, toxic relationships, toxic words, toxic influences, toxic religions, etc....
Considering I had the pleasure of seeing 6 rainbows this spring break, I am praying and hoping that I will continued to be reminded of the promises that God has given us. I am praying that I will make choices that remove toxicity and focus on being contaminated by the love and peace of Jesus.
Food for Thought.
