Purging and Cleaning of the Soul

If you happened to catch yesterday's post about my "I can't"s being revealed for the "I won't"s they really are, then today's sharing will make a lot more sense.  Well, it will at least provide perspective on where I am coming from.  If I may, I'm going to pick up where we left the conversation off yesterday.  Thank you for your patience as I ponder out loud.

Further pondering on those "I can't" perspectives has brought to light not only the fact that "I won't" was the truthful statement, but also that I frequently say I can't because I don't want to.  Just up and stating "No, I won't," with a "because I don't want to." attached as the reason is rather bold, and well, to be honest, it sounds a tad bit spoiled.  Doesn't it?  Yes, yes it does.  Mostly because it is a selfish answer coming from a spoiled woman's mouth, mostly.  

Oh, no, not only and always is it from a selfish, spoiled attitude, but often it is.  Enough that it has caught and held my attention.  Purging and cleaning of the mind and soul.  This is what these first days of the second month are turning out to be.  What a blessed gift these days are!  I am grateful!

Thanking God for Days of Soul Cleaning,

Shalom
