Decluttering for Christ: Day ... err... 13!

Progress looks slow-going right now, but I know the "behind-the-scenes" sort of work is going on.


My husband has been furiously listing items on Ebay, and we're really seeing the payoff! It's a huge blessing from God for sure. There are items that he has listed before in the past that didn't sell, that are now selling for way more than we thought they'd bring. I absolutely believe the way things have been working out to be blessings. We've continuously prayed over our situation, financial situation especially, and we have faith that God is guiding us through all of this. Medical bills, debt, financial bondage, and financial stress, prepare to meet our Master!


"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money."  --Matthew 6:24


We're organizing our house, but it's actually helping to declutter our minds and hearts. All of the chaos of belongings got in the way of what was important. A year and a half ago, we moved into this house and loved all the space. In just a few months, we were claiming we needed more space, and that we may have made a mistake in not buying a bigger (thus more expensive) house! Looking back now, I thank God we didn't buy the amount of house the bank said we could afford. Our lives couldn't afford it.
