A Time to Keep, A Time to Throw Away
Today’s post is based on chapter 11 of my book, Newness of Life.
I am a keeper. Not one to throw away. I’m so sentimental, it’s hard to let things go.
Yet “there is a time to throw away,” and last year I learned how to make it fun and family-oriented.
Each spring and autumn for the past 10 years, I have sold my children’s clothing at a large consignment sale. I can’t host a yard sale at my home’s remote location, so I haul everything to town and make several hundred dollars from one weekend of effort.
My in-laws live along a route known as the “100-Mile Yard Sale.” Last year, my mother-in-law urged me to sell my stuff at her house to increase my profits (the consignment sale retains 30% or more).
We conducted a plan to rid our home of all baby items and old toys, once and for all.

In my daily life right now, I’m good with the Mary part and not so great with the Martha part.
My spiritual life is pretty great, but my house is a disaster, as usual.
Most women tell me the Mary part is hard for them. They struggle to find closeness with God, time to pray, and time to read his word. But for me, the Mary part in Luke 10 has always been a breeze.
