When I first felt the Lord moving me towards a simpler life, I began small. It started behind my closet door, where I pared my wardrobe down to only my very favorite things. It was the perfect beginning to this new chapter in my book because it affirmed in me the desire for long term and deeper growth beyond my closet.
These past twenty-eight days were not intended for instruction or even motivation, although those would be wonderful byproducts. These posts were my confessional.
Not a confession to you, and not even a confession to my Lord - He already knows the maze that's my heart.
It's been my way of confronting myself and all of my junk. Over my last twenty-eight years I have accumulated all along the way and it was time to step back, evaluate, and clear out.
Things are feeling lighter. There are less distractions. I can breathe deeper.
This process of writing and editing and praying and pondering is always a mirror. It helps me see more clearly, reflecting everything back in truthful light.
Thank you for helping me hold the mirror by simply reading and providing this safe space for me to declutter in pursuit of Him.
