Simplicity

I have been cleaning out closets, drawers and hidden spaces for weeks now. The job seems to grow more than diminish. I am finding that I have a mountain of paper to conquer. Just like any mountain it takes one step at a time to reach the top!

The more I delve into my task, the more I crave simplicity. I want to minimize the clutter. I want to throw away that which serves no useful purpose. I want to live smaller. I do not want to give up the richness of the written word, nor do I want to close myself off from the beauty that enriches my soul. but I do want to make it possible to really see the beauty and richness of life's blessings. I cannot do it when there is so much, and it becomes hidden under trivial things.

So, I plod my way through all the mess. I sort, organize, throw away and minimize. I have a long, long way to go. My road to simplicity is lined with litter from my past desires to hold on to what I thought was good. It is paved with good intentions. It is traveled slowly and one step at a time.

Father in Heaven, I imagine Your home in heaven to be simple beauty. I want that here as best I can. There is much for me to do to get where I want to be. I want Your strength, Your grace, and Your wisdom to guide me in this pursuit! Thank You for Your Spirit that draws me closer to heaven and calls me to simplicity!

Simple Faith

I believe Creator God is good all the time and sacrifices Himself to give me a chance to live in heaven with Him for eternity.

My simple faith.
