🥰I had only planned to post on this page occasionally during the week. But I was praying this morning about simplifying my life and thought that I would share.
🫶I believe that God wants us to spend more time doing his work here on earth...walking in our purpose and His will for our lives. But sometimes we are swallowed up by our packed up calendar, overflowing closets and anxiety and stress that comes from too much going on and excess clutter.
I wanted to simplify my life, my thinking, and enhance my purpose. People and things swirl around us, competing for our attention. When we let them have our attention without being intentional, they fill up our life instead of filling up YOU. I needed help discerning what I needed...
The last few months I have been working on purging a home that held five children for 26+ years! WHOA! It's a LOT! AND...I even feel like I did a good job along the way keeping it all going.
I cannot live amongst clutter. It steals my peace for sure. So sometimes it goes in a closet or drawer or storage room where I can't see it.
As I went along this summer from drawer to closet to storage room... I would reread a few pages of this book every morning!! I read it 10 years ago but my life was nuts so not sure it sank in! LOL I think this book really helped to keep things in perspective. I am still not THERE yet...but a work in progress!!
Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less
🧐Where to start? Start SMALL!
One drawer
One section of your closet
One Childs rubbermaid tub
One room at a time
The satisfaction and feeling from accomplishing the little tasks WILL keep us motivated to keep going.
