I spent the better part of my day today decluttering and organizing. And I feel lighter. I drove to the library with grocery bags full of magazines. Then I drove to the Goodwill with a trunk full of odds and ends. Why I had two sets of plastic measuring cups is beyond me. Time to simplify. Time to live a little more free.
Less is more.
I think the same thing needs to done with my mind. Every corner is cluttered. Some corners hold my dreams and gratitude. Other corners are piled high with worries and fears. And God thoughts are somewhere among the chaos.
I want my faith to be simplified too. No more one, two, three steps. Just me and God talking over tea. Is that possible with all that the culture teaches me? I think so. But it takes work. I need to be constantly decluttering. Looking to empty the excess baggage. I believe I need to have less to-do’s is in order to have more of God.
Sounds good, right? Now for the hard part. Putting it in practice. God wants my heart, not my performance based on some to-do list. He wants my heart.
He wants yours, too.
Your tea kettle and companion are waiting:)
I sometimes miss the Air Force. The military forced us to move fairly often and thus, I uncluttered much more than I do now. It is such a light feeling when I finish and it is fun to do. Hmmm I think I better think about getting started after I finish my latest WIP. Have about 20,000 words to go!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving Tiffany from our house to yours.
Hugs
