The Flood That Forced Me to Let Go of Over 50 Years of Memories

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever had that little whisper in your spirit telling you it’s time to let something go—and you just kept ignoring it? For months, maybe even a year, I’ve felt God telling me that I needed to purge my old life to make room for my new one. And apparently, I wasn’t listening closely enough. In this episode, I’m talking about what happened when that whisper became impossible to ignore. I share a very personal experience involving nostalgia, memories I’ve held onto for decades, an absolutely devastating flood, and the unexpected spiritual lesson I found in the middle of all of it. We’re talking about letting go of the past, listening to divine guidance, making room for a new chapter, and why sometimes the things we’re desperately holding onto may be exactly what we’re being asked to release. **Episode Highlights** \[0:02] - Why I’ve been hearing the message to purge my old life and make room for my new one. \[1:29] - Confession: I’m a saver!
