Who would have thought?

Today is my anniversary of 4 years working at Uniting College. Originally a decision to move to a less stressful job, providing me with head space to discern God's call on my life...

Now a learning community that I love being fully  immersed in as employee and student as I follow God's call to ministry. 

Four years ago who would have thought this is where I'd be!

Time to declutter

I needed to find something in my handbag this morning...

The only way I could find it was to empty the contents of my bag. 

Oh dear! How did it get so full of junk? And it's so heavy! 

I found what I needed but now it's time to put everything back in my bag. ....Or should I?

Maybe today is the day to let go of some of these things that have become something of a safety net for me. To re prioritise what I really need to carry with me everyday.

I am reminded of a bible verse:

12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, ² fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 

(Hebrews 12-1-2)

What clutter do you need to let go of today?
