I am not usually big on New Year's Resolutions or monthly goals, partially because I usually end up breaking them and partially because I simply end up forgetting them, but since I have been back in Charleston, there are so many thoughts and desires I have and goals I want to acomplish before my next season. Being the ENFP that I am, goals and schedules make me anxious; however, at a time like now, when my brain is going crazy, I know a little planning and organization won't hurt me.
Lara Casey's blog has inspired me to #ClearOctober. She talks about being "LIGHT, BRIGHT, FREE, OPEN, and READY" for change in whatever way the Lord wants to do it. More than any other month's themes, I resonated with this one. Before I even knew the theme, and the day after I returned home from Michigan, I completely purged my closet. Y'all, you should really see how many bags of clothes and shoes I am consigning and giving away. I thought it would be hard, but the minute I started, I just couldn't stop. Jesus has been opening my eyes to His lifting of heaviness and burdens He desires for my life and yours. We don't have to live in darkness, trapped, and incapable of seeing Him move. So let's #ClearOctober, you and me, to allow the Lord to gently and graciously change our lives for His Kingdom and for our Joy!
