For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. 1 Corinthians 14:33

Good day!

Yesterday, I started on my basement again, tackling just one small section. Honestly, it’s taking me longer than I expected, and yes, it’s frustrating! That’s because this little corner is my ‘stepping stone’ to reclaiming the whole basement, and every minute counts. The challenge isn’t just the stuff; it’s the mindset—especially when my wonderful husband decided we ‘need to keep’ several old doors we’ll likely never use. Sound familiar?

If you’re a fellow Type A personality who struggles with decluttering, I’m right there with you. We expect perfection and immediate results, but this process teaches us patience. My takeaway, and hopefully yours, is this: progress is messy, and setbacks are normal. It’s not about doing it perfectly the first time; it’s about the commitment to keep going.

So, I’m dusting myself off and trying again today. Join me in taking one intentional step forward. We’ve got this! Let’s pray!

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of a new day and a fresh start. I ask for a steadfast spirit as I tackle my basement once more. Guide my hands and my decisions, help me to navigate challenges with grace, and give me the endurance to see this task through to the end. Amen.
