Well..again it's been far too long since I've written but once again God used something normally minute to teach me another lesson. I haven't quite figured out why it is that these random things happen to me...well...they seem random that is!!
Last week as I was driving to work I rounded a corner and noticed someone's trunk on their car was open..."huh, weird..no one in sight...suppose they could be transporting things back and forth". Then as I went around the next corner, another trunk wide open...and no one in sight..."that's funny"....but what was even more funny was that around the third corner there was yet ANOTHER TRUNK OPEN....."ok must be a lesson here". So I began to think....
What do people use their trunk for? Storing a spare tire, a first aid kit, taking home groceries, or transporting other random items. So...where's the lesson? What's the lesson? I asked God...ok I know I'm supposed to learn from this...it was far too obvious so ... what am I to learn from this?
I began to think about life in general, physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally....when I compare a car with myself and consider where I store "extra things", or "transporting items" I would say that's my soul...in fact while reading an article on spirit, soul, and body it said "the body is the part of man which can be seen, and the soul is the part which is unseen." (Then it goes on about the spirit..) So..that makes sense...we don't see what's in a person's trunk unless it's parked and we open it and look in, right?! Ok...so...let's compare.
If my soul is equal to the trunk of a person's car, what have I been storing and where have I been parking with my trunk open so that people can see in, put something in it I might not want or perhaps take something out....
Maybe you don't need to clean out your trunk but after I got to thinking about this...I know I need to start working on mine!! I need to watch where I'm "parking my car", and I need to make sure I'm not leaving the trunk open, but first and foremost I need to take everything out, reorganize it, put back the things I need, and throw away the things I don't!
Here's to some late spring cleaning!!!
