Having been away on an amazing retreat this weekend with 250 of my closest teenage friends, I am taking the minimal, simple approach to what could easily be a very overwhelming Monday.
Last week, I uncovered some long lost cupboard knobs buried deep in the very untidy hall closet. I decided that they will either be used or be let go of so as to bless someone else who could use them.
I had just enough drawer pulls and not enough cupboard knobs so those were ordered and happened to arrive while I was away.
My amazing husband equally amazing 12 year old man-child installed the hardware to surprise me. They look beautiful, don't you think?!
While on retreat, I experienced a gentle whisper from God. To be certain that what I am doing as I travel the path to less, I embrace all that He has to offer me. And to let go of things with the primary objective being to give Him the room and space He needs to reach me. Letting go of earthly possessions does not have to mean living with nothing. It does mean that I have let go of the emotional attachment to things so that my eyes, heart and soul can focus on Him and moreover, help my family to see Him in me.
