Finally, we had no choice but to move into the guest cottage. We put it off as long as we could, but the dust became more than we could bear. I've been ready to move for months; however, the water isn't filtered, and we don't have an indoor shower, which should be fine unless it's cold. We are very spoiled compared to the days of old. How do we become redeemed from and stripped of every encumbrance or weight holding us back from becoming what God intended us to be from the beginning? Our original selves? If our lives are so comfy that even a change of water can cause us to feel anxious, how will we feel when God removes the sludge from our minds and sets us free? We have so much built up that we don't even know the truth from lies. We must rely on scripture. It is one thing that hasn't changed and was in existence before our minds became infiltrated by propaganda. Become constant in prayer, comb through the scriptures, and familiarize yourself with the workings of the Holy Spirit, who will reveal all truth. There is no other way to clear your mind to become what God intended. 

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. John 16:13

Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
