Another step forward....
I am really enjoying Spring Break. The weather is beautiful, and today I was able to wear capris and a t-shirt instead of windpants and a hoodie! Ah, Spring is in the air! I am so glad!
I took another step forward today in this chapter of my life. My Dad and I went out and cleaned my car from top to bottom. Really, it was more him cleaning from the top as I am shorter than he is but we both rolled up our sleeves and got to work. Not just on the outside, but we cleaned the inside as well. I tell ya, living on a dirt road for several years allows dirt to get in EVERY little place. It took about 2 hours, but it is now clean. I mean, the most clean it's been since I took it off the lot almost 3 years ago. I had forgotten how pretty my car is on the inside and outside.
I feel almost as if that is happening to me. I just exited a living environment that wasn't healthy. I knew parts of it were not healthy, but the longer I'm out, the more I see what wasn't right. What wasn't okay. I feel as if God is getting into the smallest little places and speaking to me...encouraging me...telling me that I am okay. God is so amazing because He can do that. He can bring words that noone else can and touch our hearts in such a special way. It took time to clean the car, and it will take time for Him to get to every little spot, but I know He will. I am so thankful that He can do that. And, I feel hopeful in that.
Amen.
