Today is Tuesday and of all things I contacted the Columbus Running Club and was to meet for an evening run tonight. This is not going to happen-I actually don't know what I was thinking. I run (don't be too impressed-it is more like a shuffle) in the early morning hours and there is a reason for this. I'm not very attractive when I run and I tend to make very strange noises as I'm trying to breathe. I like the darkness around me with just the occasional rabbit looking at me in disbelief!
Yesterday morning the Lord revealed something to me as I was outside. I was thinking how I like to hold onto things and then it hit me. I'm like the keeper of the memories. If you were to come to my home you would feel like you have stepped back into time. I have surrounded myself with things from the past. I have crates of items from my childhood--I actually have my original Easter basket with my name on it--Vickie Wilson! I draw comfort from looking at objects that are a part of people I love.
The Lord brought this to my attention--not that I have to give things away--but in order for me to be aware that I will tend to hold on tightly to memories. And when I feel my heart tightening around something I can stop and release it to the Lord.
Need to go--the dark is slipping away!
