A couple months ago I had a dream. I was walking around a house going up and down the stairs and I noticed that the floor was super dirty. It looked like it need to be swept and mopped. Before I went up the stairs a second time, I pointed at someone and asked ‘could you help clean this up? I’m really busy!’ Then in a frenzy I went up the stairs and continued in my busyness.
For me, dreams have always been God has used in my life as a metaphor, guide or warning. So when I woke up I said, Lord what was with that dirt floor?! And I felt like I heard, you need to clean up your floor plan.
Well that resonated with me because if my floor is ever full of clutter or dirty I really feel like I can’t think straight! There are studies on tidiness being linked to productivity so I don’t think it’s a weird pet peeve of mine but who knows…..
So I said, okay Lord! Help give me the inspiration for what my ‘floor plan’ should look like.
Long story short, I rearranged my whole entire house, and office; which consequently spilled over into the outside…of our arena.
(stay tuned for progress of ripping out this fence...)
Tell me there is nothing more motivating than a freshly drug arena! Well - this was on a whole new level. I felt like I moved into a complete different house and property.
The lesson in all this is that God loves to see us progress - but we can’t do that unless we get in sync with his vision for our life. Sometimes we don’t even know the potential of what we are standing right on top of! Things can become clutter because of innocent busyness and we can loose sight of our path forward.
Do you have something in your life you want to have a fresh outlook on? Come on over to my Facebook page to check out our arena progress, and drop a picture of what you are currently trying to refresh!
Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.
Habakkuk 2:3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end- it will not lie if it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come’ it will not delay.
