Cluttered Table. Cluttered Calendar. Cluttered Mind. Diary of a 14 Day DEJUNK-A-THON.

I need a gigantic vacuum cleaner. A giant's vacuum to come along and suck everything out of my house, church and office.

Mostly books. Books, articles, resources, paper and pens. To do lists on top of to do list. I just put two more boxes of book in my shed. Books I really really want to read.

I'm going through my home box of books-these are the books I'm reading and deciding how to downsize it. Now I have a pile of books to take to the church library. I have a stack of books for the college classes stacked on one corner.

Receipts, bills, paper, calendars and ....you guessed it, another "To Do" list.

Ssssssiiiiiigggggghhhhhh.......

What is a girl to do?

Shut off my calendar. Turn off the news. Doing what is in front of me to do.

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON!

"Mother Earth News" sits in front of me. GASP. I can't throw THIS a way. I will save the turnips article. What about the "Space saving designs?" GULP I threw it a way. Turnips and all.

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON

Next, "Enrichment" magazines stares at me. I flip through the colorful pages. "The Jesus-Hearted Woman: Ten leadership qualities for enduring and endearing influence," by Jodi Detrick opens up. Then Dr. Wood's "Believing God for Greater Things."

This goes beside my reading chair.

NEXT?!

A notebook filled with this and that. Numbers and notes from a class. I type what is relevant on the other notes on my desktop.

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON.

Starting a Journey

September 3, 2010 Originally posted How to Begin a Journey 1. Pick a destination or simply start. 2. Plan a detailed itinerary or just take the first step. 3. Pack everything or travel lightly. I am choosing to just begin. To leave behind the baggage, pick up a day pack, and go. Several nights before we moved to Ogallala, I was praying about the transition when I heard that still, small voice of God. In that moment, I knew He heard my Heart's Cry. He hears every whispered plea, every unspoken longing. If I truly sit with that truth, it humbles me. What courage, boldness, passion, and decisiveness I have when I remember: He never leaves or forsakes me. He provides for my every need according to His riches in glory. My hope is to encourage you He hears your Heart's Cry too.

Picking up Rocks and Riding in Boats

I took a walk with a three year old young man today. His mama was frazzled and he was bored. "Grab your shoes," I told him. He ran to his Mom to get his shoes on and ran to the door. After fixing the shoestrings and the coat was on the way he wanted and I showed him the edge of the sidewalk and where we would walk...we were off. A dried piece of weed draped across an edge of the sidewalk, and I bent down to check it out. He followed my lead and bent in half beside me. I broke a piece off and gave him half and continued on our way. Have you ever took a walk with a toddler? And looked at things the way they do? The broken sticks in the gutter, the ice and the small patch of snowing clinging to life are all gold to these little explorers. A little encouragement is all they need to sift for treasure along the way. A smooth stone sat contentedly on the driveway of a house. I stopped to admire...
