"How's your flow?"

Last winter, I cleaned out the gutters on our home and offices. Not my favorite thing to do, but it’s one of those “necessary” home chores.

Well, I thought that once was enough, that the gutters would be clean until next fall when the leaves fell again. But I discovered that wasn’t the case at all.

One day a heavy rain fell and I noticed from our daughter’s upstairs bedroom that the gutters were backing up and spilling over. But the water looked clear with no leaves, at least the part I could see. I decided something was clogging up the downspout.

So I got up on my ladder and looked at the downspout. And it was definitely clogged. We have lots of maple trees around our home. In the spring they shed lots and lots of seeds and those were what clogged up the downspout.

Do you sometimes think you have something in life cleaned up only to discover later you don’t? And there’s one little something that’s blocking you from doing your best to live in the flow? Ask God to give you a top-down look at how you do life so you can see what’s blocking your flow.
