I know this title may scare some of you away but think about it. I have been challenged this week through different books I am reading "Don't Waste Your Life," "Sacred Singleness," and "Becoming the Woman God Wants You to Be" to start really thinking about the possessions I have and if they are useful to me or if someone else can use them better. In the last book, it encourages to take a box around your house or in my case apartment, and go through anything and everything and see what I truly need and what is just there to take up space. I realized in my little apartment that I have more than I have ever needed, just in my current living space; let alone what I have at home that I don't use 9 months out of the year. I have been challenged to go through my house and empty out my stuff and just give it away. I have been selling my dvd's and luckily with that I have been able to pay off some debt. It has not hurt in the slightest to sell those and so why would it hurt to just give things away that other people need more than me. I guess I could encourage you as well to look through your items ask the "is this glorifying God?" question or "can i use this to help someone else glorify Him?" Women, the little things that you could give away like the extra nail polish or jewelry you may wear once a year could actually help those women who are less fortunate be able to do what they need to do in order to serve God better. Those who are less fortunate may need to look presentable for a job interview and those little things could help them do that. Just think about it. I am definitely going to go through my stuff this weekend and seriously think about what I can do to help others become better disciples of God. What can you give away to do the same?
