Welcome to the farm where I have come to simplify my brain.
The word organize has been on the forefront of my thoughts lately.
After leaving work I decided to stop in a Country store to see
what was new. I looked around and saw so many cute things for
the harvest and Christmas. I spent a lot of time looking.
I thought of how in the past I would buy what I wanted to bring a
little country into my home. I was always adding to my collections
I had so much country that I was teased about having my own country
store with all my collections. Country collection was becoming
country clutter. Then I was much to busy to do something about it!
When my daughter decided to become a vegetarian we started collecting piggies.
They made her happy, just like my collections did until they took over!
There was something in my head that had a void in it and needed to be filled.
I understand that now and little by little I am letting go of things. The
only thing I need to think about is this:
Now I can be honest and share with friends about the true me.
Now I can hear God speaking and telling me to Simplify. While
I was at that country store, a pillow caught my eye and what
do you think it said? SIMPLIFY! I walked out of the store
empty handed and was okay. I also have the freedom to decide
if I really want something that is unique, then okay, I may
get it, but I sure am more selective about it. I still enjoy
many of my special things like my rag dolls, some being gifts.
Now I need God's strength to help me sort through things and
let go. This includes emotional baggage along with physical things.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28, NIV
I want to have time to enjoy life. God wants me to have an abundant life
and having less will give me more for the important things in life.
Things that I enjoy like scrapping or crafting. More important,
spending time with my family, friends and mostly my God.
Grace and peace be yours in abundance through
the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
2 Peter 1:2
Time to relax in my lavender bubble bath!
