Spring Cleaning

I keep forgetting to update this blog, but consider yourselves lucky if you're reading this cause i haven't updated my Youtube page in months either.
So i recently got a new bed, which required me to do a lot of tidying up in my room.

And while cleaning i found a lot of things under my old bed that took me on a trip down memory lane,
little pieces of paper with scrawlings on, keepsakes from previous relationships. boxes containing the smell of old habits.
And  it got me reflecting on how far i really have come over the years, in some areas more than others at least.

so im planning on doing some more tidying up of my room soon, to sort out papers and documents that should probably be kept in more organized places,
which is what got me thinking about spring cleaning, which could have possibly been started by the Jews as a way of cleaning their homes in preparation for passover,
(to celebrate the Jews being led out of Egypt)

for the last 5 years, Ive been escaping my Egypt's, the things that keep me bound, the sins that im a slave to.
John 8:34 "Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin".
And every Easter i celebrate that Jesus died so that i could be set free,

But just like the Israelites of the old testament, i find myself back in slavery to old habits,  and im reminded that i have a hope, a faith and a Savior that bought me out of slavery so that i didn't have to do this "Spring cleaning".

But things get covered in dust when they're not used in a while, and Ive recently had things that have occupied my time causing my spiritual life to start gathering dust,

So as i enter this new season(both physical and metaphorical)
i want to encourage you, to join me and do some spring cleaning ready for Easter,
check for signs of dust and dont be afraid to ask for help if it seems to much for you to handle.
