It's amazing how often we can allow ourselves to become surrounded by stuff we really don't want or need. Yet we hold on to it and spend precious time caring for it. Over the last year I?ve been simplifying and minimizing our household.
It all started when we were going to move. I read all of the ?how to sell your house fast? information and the one thing all the experts agreed upon was that if you wanted to make your home more appealing to buyers you needed to get rid of the clutter. I didn?t realize how silly that statement was until I had done it.?
I made myself comfortable on the sofa and just took in my surroundings. I wasn?t really prepared for how I felt. As I laid back, enjoying my home, free of burdensome, dust-ridden knick-knacks and stuff I?d probably never use, an overwhelming peace come over me. I was enjoying my home. I had not done that in a while. That?s probably when it hit me. The fact that I was only content in my home when I?d prepared it for someone else. And, if I was able to live without this stuff for the duration of our home being on the market then did I really need it? If getting rid of all of that made my home more appealing to others? and me?then why keep it? Choose to surround yourself with things that you really love. Keeping the home simple saves time, energy, and space.
? If you've ever wanted to tear the 31st chapter of Proverbs out of your bible this book is for you. She is a wife, mom, business owner, seamstress, she serves the needy, speaks life and wisdom, and seems to be quite the major overachiever, perfectionist type. Except that...she's not.?
Come along and journey with Amy and take a look at the real woman of Proverbs 31. She isn't as perfect as she seems. In fact, I think she is a lot like you and me.
