         The things we buy --- material possessions --- are a ball and chain, keeping us from freedom, enjoying a life without worry. 

         I feel like Jonah as I have been running away for some time, thinking I could serve Him on my terms.  I was wrong, and I don't want to serve Him on my terms.  I relinquish it all to follow Him and to fulfill my purpose in the earth.  Being stripped of pride, sustenance, stability --- I release my need to control and bring order to my surroundings.
