Uncluttered

Am here confessing that I am one of my own biggest obstacles to living as an uncluttered woman. I know that I should depend solely on God for direction and strength, but the simple fact is I often don’t. Would be difficult to admit it.

It is hard to sift through all that is thrown at us each day. Clutter happens and it challenges all of us. I’m in the trenches and readily admit that navigating this silly-dizzy world is difficult. There are ten bazillion things that compete for our attention and clutter our faith: emotions, materialism, negative thinking, overbooked schedules, doubts, legalism, laziness, self-reliance, our past pains and failures, technology, work, our need to control things, finances, debt, stress, addictions, discontentment and relationships. And I’m just getting started! This list could go on forever. It is how women are wired- woman not men... 

The Bible instructs us to direct our silly-dizzy days toward God. “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” (Proverbs 16:3, NIV)

In His presence, God gives order to both our thoughts and our to-do lists. Everything changes when we seek Him first and commit our plans to Him. The journey to becoming an uncluttered woman is all about personal contact with Jesus. Having an experience greater peace and deeper faith as we determine to respond to His constant invitation to come.

When we position ourselves in the presence of the Peace-giver and ask Him to lead and prioritize our heart matters, the uncluttering begins.

Let. It. Begin.
