When I first read this quote, it resounded with me due to the fact that I’ve always associated clutter with physical things. However, as I thought about how my life has changed over the past few years, I realized that by me trying to bring my old lifestyle, habits, traditions, and yes things along with me - that I was cluttering up my new landscape. The more stuff that I was trying to cram in, the more smothered and suffocated I felt.
(Sigh)... it’s okay to let go and start afresh, to begin anew, to purge, simplify and re-design life. Yeah, I’ve had that picture hanging on my wall for the past 10 years and yes it signified my strength as a female, but it was as a single female and I’m no longer single, so let’s display something that signifies the strength of a Godly marriage. This is just one example for my life and you can apply whatever you will to yours.
I’m about to join the 40 club and like most of my girlfriends, we are rediscovering/redefining ourselves and embarking on new journeys in life. As we all go forth in this new season, don’t be afraid to de-clutter so that we can all together breathe a sigh of relief.
