stuff gets in the way

Last night’s sunset peeking through the trees…

all these things

get in the way

blocking my clear vision

stuff that I’ve stuffed

here and there

distracts me from my mission

too much stuff

makes me feel stuffy 

every breath becomes a chore

with all this stuff 

stuffed everywhere

I can’t take it anymore!

I often complain about the view from my house.  I can’t see the sunset very clearly due to all the trees around us. I know-it’s a really insignificant problem to have, but I long to be out in the open air where I can gaze at the stars and see the sky for miles and miles.

Lately I have been feeling the same way about my home. I LONG to see open space in my rooms.  I can’t find anything, and I can’t see anything clearly because of all the STUFF that is stuffed everywhere.  We aren’t “hoarders” or anything, but we definitely have way too much stuff.  And all this stuff is consuming me- consuming my time, my thoughts, my energy…and it’s zapping me of my JOY!!

I am spending way too much time trying to find places for things, and way too much time looking for things I have miss-placed!

Having too many things leads to me having to make too many decisions…NO GOOD for a girl who already suffers from being indecisive!

So I am on a mission to GET RID OF STUFF and to restore order to my chaotic home.

less is more–

more time to clearly see and enjoy the things and people I LOVE!

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy,and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:19-21
