Live Simply..screams at me...within my spirit! Put away from thyself..I hear that small still voice say. I am striving to clean house within...(myself)...,I am cleaning house without as well. That which I possess,which sometimes tries to possess me. I don't understand the need fully,but I know it is a good thing. I refer to it as weeding.....I know when it began....I do not know when it will end or if it will end. It may be something I will need to do from now on. As I said before,I find it OK to bring some things home from time to time,as long as some things continue to go out. The things that I bring home better fit my present need...the things that go out have served their purpose in my home...time to pass them on. I have not done much more to my bedroom,the overhaul I mentioned a week or more ago! It still waits for me to be in that mood again...to find that strength to move forward with my task at hand,and I shall! What is a bit puzzling to me is the fact that I have always been a simple life loving person...so why now the need to have less,when I have never truly had much to start with? God knows my needs...I trust him completely. I leave the understanding to him. I do know this is a spiritual process I am dealing with. Those of you,who are spiritual will understand what I am trying to share here.

Striving for that meek,quiet spirit....this scripture speaks of 1Peter 3:4
God's Holy Spirit speaks simplicity to my soul.
Not only in my home,my daily life,but also in my worship.
For truly whatever I do,speak..my actions.... everything is being watched,being examined! Thus,I desire that he increase and I (self) decrease. Do I fall...yes,and I get up and try again....it's truly that simple.

I think simpleness is the key to giving all to Jesus. To not have attachments to material things.
I always try to clean out things as if I was going to move, and wouldn't want to pack too much. When you have kids at home it is impossible...but it becomes easier when they move out.
I also clean out my email too...that is a bit easier! :)
And I see alot of bloggers clean out their past posts. I think I will do that later on.
love,andrea
Yes!
I have a hard times letting go of things. I feel the need to because my home is very small. I do think as we declutter our home, we also get rid of a lot of clutter in our hearts. I think that makes sense, to me anyway. :o)

Very nice Shelley. Leaving the understanding to God is a Big statement. One that I am trying to give over to Him. Thank you for sharing. Blessings.
I love your post today..I often think I need to let go of more as well...I had a huge storage and I finally got rid of most of it...I just have a small one and I'm thinking I need to rid of it completely as well...Happy Saturday with love Janice
I had a very hard time letting go of things but once I got started man oh man! Jack and I cleaned out and gave away and threw away a lot! And we got rid of even more when we moved. It felt good and the same goes with our spiritual life, it is better to let go of some things.
A simple life with "less stuff" is something I yearn for, yet I find it difficult to obtain. Sometimes, I feel very overwhelmed with stuff. I just wish I had the faith to start letting go of unnecessary temporal treasures and begin to fill myself with more of God's grace.
