I've been doing a lot of reading and a lot of praying lately. More so than normal.
Monday I woke up refreshed and content. Now you must understand, I view Monday mornings with the same enthusiasm as I would view getting a root canal.
But today. Today, I am grateful and at peace. I am exactly where God wants me to be.
So, what has changed?
Me. I know God has a plan for me. I know I must trust Him. The more I try to figure it out myself, the less I know. God wants us to rely on him. Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding."
That being said, I am still taking baby steps toward my goals. Last weekend, we cleaned out the boys' room. One bag of trash (random toy parts) and two bags of clothes (that don't fit) later, we left feeling good about our progress. I took pictures of the recliner we want to sell. I just need to post it; and I'll continue to take inventory of things we just don't need , which we will sell to pay off our debt. Feels good!
Side bar. I follow Joshua Becker's blog, Becoming Minimalist. He gives great advice, he's not extreme, and I like the way he writes. For the next 10 days, he is selling his book, Simplify for just $0.99. I think it's worth your time and your dime to check it out.
Now let me ask you, what steps are you taking to move toward your goals or passion?
If you're not stepping, what's holding you back?
