cleansing

Ive been cleaning this house for about a week now. Lots has been accomplished and its starting to feel like home. we just got a new couch and i got a dresser for my room. now all my close can be put away(instead of laying on the floor). The best thing about this week has been a chance to cleanse. There is something redemptive about the power to cleanse. Wiping away the old, and making it a clean...a new face...restored. We basically gave it a new face, or a clean slate.
the thing ive been dealing with is that it is clean. there is nothing written on it. Its hard to establish a home with nothing. God's shown me today that i need to claim this house as his and let his will be done. a lot of things are going to happen through this house. cleansing was part of the process and now its time to claim it. I want to challenge you all to claim it. claim his truth in your life in areas that need it. If he's spoken clear to you then just listen, it makes it easier. I trust in what he is doing here, and i'm excited to see what else is going to happen.

one big thing is friends. So far i feel i am being pulled in two different groups. The church, and my neighbor. Both are completely different. basically the tax collectors and the disciples. I feel so strong about what im doing here and im excited to see these relationships form. I dont think i could just choose one and not have the other. this makes life complete. Real people are very refreshing, i hope that you are able to experience that.

ah ya.. i have an interview tomorrow at2:30.... things are looking good. its at a deli right down the street. this is a huge praise.

with love
