So, get this...I'm driving into work this morning muttering over some things that have just been eating at me lately and I pulled up to a stop sign and there was a constant flow of traffic coming from my left side. I sit there and huff and puff because I have never seen this much traffic at this one particular stop sign before. I wait...and wait...and wait...and wait...
.
And then I see it! There is a garbage can strapped to a light pole. I sit there staring at this garbage can and begin to snicker at the fact that someone has secured their trash can to a light pole! Why? It's a garbage can! Who would want to make sure their garbage can stayed secure! How much trouble have they had with this garbage can?
.
And, then, the Lord just gently pressed upon my heart...that's what you do! You hold onto the garbage in your life never letting it go. You strap it down and make sure that you have it day after day and you put it out in front by the street so that everyone driving by can see it. Don't ya think it's time to let the garbage go?
.
Oh wow! I immediately began to pray and ask for forgiveness for being a garbage woman! Oh gracious how I have just walked around weighted down by my own garbage and although I throw it in the trash and give it to God I tend to strap that can down and hold on to it for some strange reason! What about you? Where's your garbage today?

"But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don't get tired, they walk and don't lag behind." Isaiah 40:31 (MSG).
