As I sit………
I’m sitting at my dining room table and its full to overflowing of things. Things to sell on Etsy. Things to price, things to measure, things to take pictures of. Things, everywhere……… things. I feel at times like I’m drowning. At times I feel overwhelmed. Things will do that to me you know. Then, I think, like I said to Doyle this morning, I just want to go through every room, every closet and every drawer and box up everything and throw it all away. And so, I start……I go through a closet, I go through a drawer and I go through drawers, and what happens? It ends up on my table…….a boatload of stuff to get rid of, throw away, send to recycle, send to thrift store, send to consignment, send somewhere…………….
I am getting the guest room/ Etsy room ready for our new house guest. Her name is Megan. She will move in on Sunday evening. She will live with us for six weeks. I want her room to be ready for her. I don’t want her to live amongst my “stuff”. I don’t want her to have to deal with my crap. So…………I work hard, and I move things around. I am making ready for a guest. Someone who God has sent to us for a time and for a season. That’s how it is with life. Things come and go. People come in and out of our lives for a time. God in His grace, sends us those we need, who need us…….I will never know all of the whys here on earth……why is he sending this person here now? The timing isn’t right, I’m too busy, I don’t have room, I will have to change how I do things…..always excuses. But………God’s timing is always perfect, always right. And HIS GRACE is always just right for the time of NOW.
