Unpack your baggage

First post to my blog and What to post about? I am never at a loss for thoughts! There are usually about a million swimming in my head! I am just going to begin with What is on my heart today...


My Pastor shared this thought with us today:
"When your memories are bigger than your dreams your beginning to die."

Marinate that thought for a minute... Profound isn't it? It got me thinking about myself and those around me. I asked myself, Do I let my memories overshadow my dreams? Am I living in past thoughts and not allowing God to show me His plans for my future? I think at times we are all caught up in that.I started to think about relationships we have with one another. How amazing that we are all so intricately designed individuals made to have relationships with other intricate souls. We all come with baggage so to speak. Some have bigger luggage than others but the amount we carry is not as important as who we allow to help us unpack. If you live in your past situations you are missing out on your present and future and really not living at all. Your creator has designed you with a purpose! That purpose is to live for Him today. That purpose is not to be stuck in what happened to you,mistakes you've made or what lies the enemy tells you.Let go,Let God! Do not sabotage relationships with others because you are stuck in the memories. You are holding yourself prisoner and allowing the enemy to hold power over you! Dream and dream big! Allow God to reveal His plan for you and allow Him to help you unpack! He has the room and definitely can lighten that load.  Ephesians 6:10-17


Hands together.Head up.Heart open.
