CLEANING HOUSE
It's about this time of year that Evan and I get antsy to sort through things and get rid of extra junk laying around that we no longer use. We've been faithful the past 2 years with having a yard sale, and we're also getting pretty use to using e-bay to sell some of the larger items. One thing God is teaching me, however, is to GIVE more. A good friend of mine has really taught me a lot about giving just by knowing her and observing her lifestyle. They bless and bless and bless other people and I told God, "I want to be more like that!" I tend to stick to my flesh and think, "Hmmm, I can get $20 for that, so maybe I better just sell it..." I have to confess, I have a long way to go on this one, but I am SLOWLY learning! God also calls us to be good stewards with what we have, and yard sales and e-bay are a great way to do that. I think the key is being in tune with the Holy Spirit and when He says "GIVE!" to be obedient!

Yeah, we've been in that clean house mode around here lately as well. Todd is into the "getting rid" of stage. For me giving is just a lot more easier and convenient that trying to sell an item. I think "oh, maybe I should sell that, I could get some money for it" and then I think "well, that would mean extra work" so I opt for giving for those reasons. Kind of selfish of me... Julie
