The amount of time spent on acquiring stuff is great.
We research, we shop, we spend.
Spend, spend, spend.
Imagine that much effort was spent in the Word!
Praying. Communing with Him. Serving Him.
Life would be different. We would be changed.
Less stuff means more time for so much more.
The real stuff. Not the false fillers. Not the temporary fulfillment.
I am so looking forward to our RV trip. Its not a time to acquire stuff but to shed it. {we only have 30 ft for 6 people!} It's not a time to chase the wind, but to stop and be still in it. Its not a time to put ourselves first, but others. {back to the 30ft thing ;)
In a world that screams bigger, better, more...and all for yourself,
I continue to whisper...smaller, less, and others first.
Sometimes I feel so out of place for those desires, yet when I write and speak others respond. Do you feel that way? Do you feel like having less stuff and more of Him? Having less *stuff* and doing more *things*?
Lord, hear my whisper and make it my life...

Karen, I feel like we're kindred spirits. We are desiring a simple life and have taken some drastic steps lately to achieve it. Like getting rid of our 1900 sq. foot house and moving in to a house just under 1000 sp. feet! I have had so many people look at me like I have horns growing out of my head; people who I love and admire trying to get me to hold on to "stuff." It's funny how others are reacting to our decision. But we are walking into an adventure that we KNOW will bring many good things to our family.
Hi Karen,
For me your posts are like water in a desert. All around me people are buying new cars to replace their one year old perfect cars - more, more, and more stuff. Having just moved 2 times in one year, I know full well the burden of accumulating STUFF. There is a HEAP of stuff in my house sorted and ready to go to the Goodwill. The pile grows by the day. For me, both reducing consumption and good organization are good for my soul. Keep posting, keep living simply, and keep seeking Him. And I will do the same.

Yes! I totally agree - in fact my post today reflects just that - getting rid of stuff! I've set up a challenge for myself to eliminate excess stuff over 8 weeks - wish me luck!
Love it.
