Day Twenty Five – Removing Clutter

October 21 2023

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.

Romans 8:28

Well! Several days ago, I made it to the Salvation Army with my donations! When I opened the sliding door to the middle cavity of my van the guy said, “Wow! You got this car filled!.” Oh! Yes! I did have my car filled! And, I plan on filling it again until my home no longer has clutter. And, yes, I even donated those really nice storage bins because I’m not playing. I gotta get my home cleared, clean and remodeled.

Today I’m packing the car with items that can hopefully benefit Habitat For Humanity. All the items I’ve purchased within the last 20 years to upgrade the upstairs and or finished the basement of my home are outdated and taking up prime real estate in my garage. So! They gotta go! Including those 2 cases of red Christmas lights [tire screech]! I might want to rethink giving away the red Christmas lights! Especially since things are so expensive now! Ok! I’ll keep the cases of Christmas lights but I gotta give up something else to make space for them on a shelf. This is a Winnie the Pooh moment, think think think. I know! I can donate those ceiling fans I couldn’t sell on Facebook MarketPlace years ago. Clutter problem solved!

Side note: I haven’t posted in a couple of days because I fell off the wagon when it came to removing clutter from my home. Life happens! However, this morning I’ve dusted myself off from the fall and I’m back in the saddle! I have a house to clean and remodeling projects to complete! Let’s pray!

PRAYER

Father God, sometimes we fall and our hurt determines how long we stay down.  Today, Lord, I ask that you whisper in the ears of those that feel defeated they are loved.  Loved by you, your son, the Holy Spirit and people like me that believe in you.  Amen   

Day Eighteen – Clearing Clutter

Enemies disguise themselves with their lips, but in their hearts they harbor deceit. Though their speech is charming, do not believe them, for seven abominations fill their hearts.

Well! After having being smacked in the face with a bone chilling reality check concerning my ex is still a snake! He forwarded my phone number to my friend his landlord. I missed her call. She missed my call. And on Wednesday night she and I finally connected. She was just as surprised as me that he kept silent about knowing either of us on some type of strange level. Boy! Oh! Boy! What a freakin snake! His silence closed doors of opportunities for she and I. And, sadly, those doors were closed by someone that tell us often he’s our friend. With a friend like him, people don’t need enemies. Let’s pray!

PRAYER

Father God, give us wisdom to discern friends vs enemies. Amen

Day Fifteen – Removing Clutter

For his eyes are on the ways of a man, and he sees all his steps.

It’s bad when you find what you need when clearing clutter! The other day I found an outdoor grill still in the box tucked away on a shelf. I gave thanks to the Universe for missing out on buying a rickety grill that was new and had rusty grates. The missed opportunity saved me $50!  WooHoo!  And, for now, the primary use for the grill is to burn paperwork!   As I’m scanning, uploading documents to disks.  My current paper shredder can’t handle the load, therefore, I’m going back to the days of old!  I won’t be using a metal discarded oil can but a charcoal burning grill will do the same job!  So!  Let us thank God for unanswered prayers! 

PRAYER

Father God, thank you for seeing all and knowing all to meet all our needs.  Amen
