The most horrible thing happened to me today. It creeps me out just thinking about it. Today we were putting the Sunday school rooms back together, now that the renovations are done downstairs. My new class for my junior highers is the old prayer room. I was taking down stuff and letting the prayer ladies either take it home or use it for our new prayer room. Well, I went to take down a wreath and I noticed something fuzzy like a giant dustball stuck inside the loop of the ribbon. So, I pulled it out. Let's just say I was wrong. It was a dead mouse. It had somehow crawled inside the wreath and died. It was completely disgusting. You could tell it was there for a long time because it was practicaly falling apart and you could see its skeleton. I ran screaming out of the room to tell my mom. At first she didn't believe me, but when she saw it, she was grossed out too. I had to run and wash my hands, because I had touched it. BLAHHH!!!
When I told the intercessors about it they said that they thought they could smell something dead in that room, but they couldn't figure it out. Well, I was the "lucky" one who found the little creature. Not something I want to repeat again.
But, a lot of times we go through life like that. We hold on to something that is not good and it eventually rots and stinks. It may take years to figure out what it is. It is time to do some cleaning up and find out what is in your life. If it shouldn't be there, then get it out. Don't allow it to stay. If you don't get rid of it now, it will be worse later. So, think about this story today as you search through your heart and life.
"I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. " Amos 4:10b
"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses." 1Ti. 6:12
