As many of you know..............we went through several months of totally remodeling our kitchen. We got it back together just in time for the holidays......
Now that the holidays are over, we are trying to slowly de-clutter our house. We are downsizing and trying to remove things that are not needed. After 38 years of marriage and 23 of those years is THIS house.....it is easy to accumulate lots of clutter. We always think....well, I may need that for something, etc........when in reality, if you do need it, chances are you will not be able to find it.
So...........we are slowly, one room at a time, attempting to de-clutter. As each area gets completed, it feels soooooooooooo good.
Got me to thinking............our "ministry" lives get cluttered over the years too. As leaders, we continue to take over duties, etc. that are expected or that we just want to do, etc. Before you know it...........your ministry life is a mess too.
It's January 2018...........so time to de-clutter.
If you are like me and a list maker.............go that route.....or do whatever works best for you.
Make a physical or mental list of things in the ministry that are important.....things that are a MUST. Put the things in order. Remember you and your spouse CAN NOT DO IT ALL.....decide WHAT you will do and let someone else do the other things, or as Elsea says....LET IT GO.
The de-clutter can also go for your "Spiritual Life" too.
Clutter is just Satan's way of discouraging us whether it is in our HOME....or our MINISTRY....or our SPIRITUAL LIFE....or whatever.
DE-CLUTTER....................Don't Allow SATAN the opportunity to drag you down.
