Picture your life as a house. Multi-levels. Upstairs, the main floor, a basement. Or perhaps a ranch style that sprawls out in several different directions, sectioned off based on function. Maybe your house has large walk-in closets, a huge kitchen with top of the line appliances, every bedroom with its own private bath. And then there’s the family room or den which doubles as a small movie theatre, big comfy chairs and a ‘state of the art’ sound system that includes strategically placed screens for viewing multiple programs at the same time. Nice! My house, of course, would have a massive library and writing room designed for maximum comfort and creativity. If you listen with your imagination, you can actually hear the soft music flowing into the rooms serving as a catalyst that inspires genius. Ah, the luxury of it all! But, with all its beauty, these houses/lives of ours — if we are honest, we would have to admit that we all have areas of our lives (secret rooms in our houses) that could stand to undergo some serious renovation. You know, those places, rooms, cells in our soul that we don’t want ‘visitors’ to see. The hidden rooms where we keep our junk. We would like to believe these places, issues, things, attitudes, etc. are ‘hidden’ – and yet, if anyone stands close enough to ‘that space’ – close enough to us, they can smell it! They can smell it, hear it crying out, feel it, see it, sense it, experience it. It’s just us that think ‘we’ve got it under control’ – that thing, that attitude — we think if we keep that door shut, no one will have to know! We deceive ourselves.
I think it’s time to do some renovating, some house-cleaning, some soul-searching – and any room we find that doesn’t pass the ‘white-glove’ test – well, get the broom and mop, some cleansers and towels and start getting rid of the junk! Call in some help! DETOX! RESET! Enlist the clean-up crew of Father, Son and Holy Spirit! They do EXCELLENT work! Yes, our houses look good from the outside (our yards are impeccable) and inside they appear REALLY NICE but there’s those hidden rooms. And THE CLEAN-UP CREW really can help us! I called them in (that’s prayer) to help me fix some places in ‘my house.’ 
First, I decided I needed a change – or I should say, I listened to Holy Spirit prompting, urging me to make a change and I simply said, “yes Lord!” Second, I realized that everything we do and say – every aspect of our lives is birthed in a ‘thought.’ Thoughts! Our thinking process, which feeds our words and actions, can be a catalyst for health or stagnation, for life or death. The good news is, The Word of God in Romans 12 and verse 2 tells us that we can actually BE TRANSFORMED into a new person by changing the way we think!! 
Let me recommend resources that I believe will help:
- A Bible! This is the healing manual of The Clean-up Crew: Father, Son and Holy Spirit
- Switch On Your Brain by Dr. Caroline Leaf (this book features the 21 Day Brain Detox Plan)
- A Journal! Write/pray/talk to God regularly on paper! Record your journey!
- Time! Take focused intentional time – for YOU!!!
Beloved, this is YOUR year to RESET! To change your THOUGHTS! Change your LIFE! RESET YOUR SOUL!!!
God Loves YOU and so do I…
