I'm cleaning up my blog as if anyone actually reads this thing anyways.  But not only am I cleaning up my blog, I'm cleaning up my life!

What do you usually do when you clean?  

Answer: Throw away trash and things you don't ever use and/or put away everything your not using at the present moment into storage places where you can't see it.

So I was thinking...

How would one clean up his/her life?

If you were to throw away all your garbage and/or trash; like addictions, grudges, evil thoughts, selfishness, greed, and then your actual materialistic things like all those things you never use anymore or could really just go without.  Or, like one of our youth parents always says, "do you really need it, or do you really just want it?"

Now for putting away everything your not using.  Well if you have to put things away, maybe we should all take a look at the things that sit in the back of our closets or even on our entertainment centers, etc... and what are some of those things.  Are they things that we really needed or are they for the most part things we really "wanted"?  

So I guess, what do you really need in this life?

The bible says the first and greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart, mind and soul.  (Matt. 22:37 NIV) 

Well if your doing that, what are things.  Do you really need things to love God with all your heart, mind and soul.  And I guess the thing that gets me the most is most of the things I have are more of a hindrance to loving God then to loving God with my whole heart, mind and soul.

Anyways, these are just some thoughts.  If you share a similar view maybe we could hold each other accountable with our "wants" and "needs".  

May God Bless each and everyone of us!!!
