Giving Back..

So i know this is my travel blog, but since I don't have any travels planned I thought that I would use it to post this!

Lately I have been convicted about the passage in Luke that talks about selling all you have and giving to the poor.
When I started this project, I thought that giving all my stuff away was what was going to make me less dependent on it, but looking back on Luke 12:22-34 it is not about the stuff at all. I worry day in and day out about things that I cannot control and have anxiety constantly because I don't think that I will get what I want out of life. God is showing me that He has better plans for me, and although I'm still in the beginning process of learning how to let go of my illusive control, I am learning to trust.

I am writing today to continue this project of getting rid of my "stuff" even though I'm not quite sure what the cause. I am overwhelmed with how much stuff I have accumulated over the years and want to "de-clutter" my life and be able to give back. Below are pictures of things that I am selling and going to use the profits to give back in some way. I am still unaware of where God is calling me to give (whether it be in time, money, or both) but am going to continue this project regardless.

If you would like any of the items please email me at katrina.d.thomas@biola.edu with a price. The money is going to be donated so I do not want to put prices on the items and have them not sell so email me and if it is reasonable and there are no higher offers then I will find a way of getting it to you.

Thank you for partnering with me as I am on this journey.
