(Early) Spring Cleaning
28 January, 2016
Hey guys! Things on my end have been good. Great, actually. I'm in the midst of ridding clutter from my life. The Bible explains what we see with our eyes and hear with our ears will inevitably end up in our hearts. Is there anything in your life that's adding clutter to your heart? You are the boss of your own life; run after Jesus and don't worry about what anyone else says/thinks/does. Focus on your relationship with Christ and all else will fall into place. It's not quite spring yet, but it's never too early to start spring cleaning. In your heart, that is.

My friend sent over an article about when the Biebs accepted JC. It's sooo gooood! Read the Justin Bieber GQ article here !!!
“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.” - C.S. Lewis

I've popped open a new book called Sandcastle Kings by Rich Wilkerson Jr. (he and his wife are in the video above andddd he married Kim and Kanye, lol). It is jam packed with so many gems. Make sure you're sitting down, these are from the book:
♥ “Quit focusing on what you did in the past. Quit focusing on what you didn’t do. Quit allowing yesterday to dictate today. Quit letting the enemy tell you who you are. The devil brings up your past because he is running out of new material. Every time he brings up your past, you need to remind him of his future. You can’t change your past, but Jesus can change your future.”
♥ “Jesus wants you to stop building sandcastles and pretending that you are the king. He is the king, and he wants to help you build your life on the only foundation strong enough to withstand the storms of this life: Himself.”
To end our spring cleaning chat, here's something to ponder:
Are you building your 'house' on sand or rock?
I know a great Architect if you need one. ♡
