I have been getting really weird lately about owning things. I can't handle having all this stuff that I don't use very often. I want my guitars, longboard, laptop, sure. But that paintball gun, it's been sitting there a year. Why do I still have that hockey jersey? I don't like hockey. Why do I have all these books that I will never bother reading again. Not to mention the clothes that I don't wear. I haven't used those games in forever.
I've been reading about the disciples quite a bit and how they gave up everything to follow Christ, but it wasn't just their material possessions. They had to give up the lives they led, their families, they had to give up their uncertainty and their doubt, and most of all, their sinful ways. There's a lot that I have to give up to be able to follow God as I'm meant to, and getting rid of all this junk is kinda symbolic for me I guess. I need to start honoring God by doing things on time and being organized, and I'm hoping it'll help with that, too. TLC my bedroom, which will help clean up my mind, and then my life, hopefully.

If you think donating clothes to Goodwill brings you closer to God... go for it.
I'll stick with reading my Bible and praying.
I think that's a great realization, Kyle:) We live in Christ through our deeds in addition to the Bible and prayer. Christ gave us the disciples as examples.
Hey, man. Those parables in Matthew 25 talks about how works are important. The Bible is meant for more than just reading, so your gut is serving you well.
