Oh, How I love You my Lord and my King!
You have taken me to a place of rest
And calmed the storm inside.
How sweet is Your Word; it is Life to me!
He turned yesterday's pain and struggles into a day of hope and rejoicing with songs. By His grace, I was able to move on and live! How I love His Word, His Law, His decrees. They bring life to us...May His name be glorified, forever and ever. Amen.
Since it looks more and more like we're going to be moving at some point in the summer, I have decided to prepare our house to be shown and sold. This requires a thorough spring cleaning which is going to involve....throwing! I hate keeping things in the house that aren't being used. I'm a thrower - my husband is the keeper. Living in a small house only makes it more essential. Organization had never really been my forte but I had to decide at some point that, if I wanted to survive in this world where junk is oh too present, then I should put some boundaries and say 'enough! That's it! I can't live like that anymore.' Order, I find, give a sense of security, of control - not in a bad way...it's more like: 'I'm in charge of my environment and not the opposite'
So, practically, today, what does it involve? Well, let's see...
There's a closet in our bedroom that is full of things we don't seem to use - EVER! I guess, that could be a start:
- Boxes of smaller clothes that I hope to be able to wear again one day...
- Boxes of baby clothes that we do hope to use again...
- Boxes of wires and cables and computer stuff - I think - that I really don't know what to do with...
- Old jackets that are either too big or too small...
- Old bed sheets with a country pattern that I LOVE but can't use right now simply because they're for queen or king size beds and we have a big CalKing one...
- 4 or 5 dusty guitar cases, a play mat for infants, all our swimming attire along with the beach towels etc
Alright, that's a start! Bedroom closet; Here I come!

Hi Fabienne~
I hope you have great success cleaning out your closet! We have a garage that sounds like that, and will be organizing in there this weekend! Sometimes it is hard to know whether to keep something or give it away! :)
It sounds like today was a better day, and I am so glad! :)
Have a good night!
LOL, I gave up on my box of clothes I hoped to fit into one day and gave it all away. Sigh...I'll never be a size 0 again...
lol - you're right... Size O ?? That was too unfair lol that's why you had to get rid of it!! lol If I could be a size 8 again, then I'd be happy! lol
