Day One – Removing Clutter

Tuesday, September 12, 2023

He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.

I’d been standing in the same section of stuff trying to make unwanted unsure decisions because I know clutter is a sign of indecisiveness. And procrastination only keeps people in the dark holes of life. So! To make a small difference in my life I grabbed four boxes of men’s shoes that went unsold. I placed them on an empty bin and stood there paralyzed. It was clear I wasn’t ready to make a chain of choices since how to get rid of the shoes made me perplexed.  However, the one thing I understood and understand is that change is needed if I want to get back in the game of life. Therefore, I need to be equally kind to myself as I have and always am with others. So I give myself permission on this decluttering journey to take 15 minutes for private meltdowns. In doing so, making small life changing choices when it comes to clearing physical clutter may come a bit easier. Mainly, because I’ve given myself a face and told my soul I matter too.  And should you find yourself in the same boat as me, I give you permission to be kind to yourself for charity truly starts at home.  Blessing to you and yours from me and mine.  Let’s pray!

PRAYER

Father God, lift our souls from the depths of despair.  Amen

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

James 1:2-8

Prayer

Father God, I’ve been struggling with producing words to say to you and you alone. I’m not sure what is happening but I ask that you help me and other that are struggling like me until you can help. Amen
