Life in Boxes


Now, I know all of you reading aren't in the process of moving from one town to another; but I've put a lot of silly little thoughts into it, and came up with the wacky idea that each box I unload into my new bedroom, is a step taken in life.
I haven't taken the second to count how many boxes I have, but as I've cut the tape from each one and revealed what I had packed away for a month and a half, I see a whole new opening in life. Each box representing where I've been, where I'll go and who I'll become. I am the type to look back on things, and I'm quite the sentimental type, so it's hard for me to do this all.
I haven't even quite hit the fact that I will never be sleeping in my old bedroom ever again, and that's hard enough. I opened a box of books today, and put them onto my old black shelf, I love reading and that box to me, represented continuation. I can move on, continue forward, and start my new beginning- just like you start a book, but a good book never truly ends..
I opened a second box, and it represented blessings. I know that's so beyond broad, but it showed to me that this new home, this new start and all these boxes.. are a blessing in the rough, a blessing in the loss of 30 pounds from lifting, and the amount of muscles I've gained in the past 24 hours.

 Each day is a new day to start fresh from, unload another step, and move another mountain.
Although you may not be unloading boxes, what're the life steps you're unloading or the blessings you have in your life? What do you need to remind yourself of today, and how has God giving you grace and love today?
Life is always going to be a pile of boxes, we just have to remember which ones are worth looking through. (if that made any metaphorical sense) Which memories are worth keeping and what we need to let go of.

It's been a busy few days for me, so I apologize if it was too short, or not enough inspiration. But thanks for reading, leave a comment below, let me know what you think and keep smiling! :)
