I really wasn't thinking when I procrastinated packing until the last week left. I always put off packing to the last possible minute though. I think I do it because the task is very overwhelming. This time was different though . . . I felt like I was packing up my life and squeezing it into a tiny little car. Oh wait . . . This is EXACTLY what I was doing!
If you ever move, I think you should have LOTS of space saver bags! I seriously LOVE them! Not only can I go on a trip for a whole week and take a tons of clothes in a carry on, but I was able to fit my entire closet worth of clothes into my front seat area and STILL see my mirror and the window! When I did run out of room in my car, the giant dirty clothes vacuumed together did NOT make it on the trip. I figured, why do laundry right away?
One thing that God put on my heart while I was packing is how blessed I am to have stuff. I am blessed to be clothed, have boxes of things I can pull out and remember those who have died, and to also have things which bring me happiness to look at. There's many people who are homeless and others who have nothing. God's really blessed me!
As I was packing, I also recalled memories of packing up and going to college. I took a car full and just left my little town of East Chain, never looking back. Here I was 15 years later packing up my stuff and traveling off to Texas. It hit me how monumental this action is in my life . . . it's a new season . . . a new beginning.
I'm not really packing up my life . . .
I'm driving into a new life,
a new chapter of what God has in store for me.
