Clearing out clutter

Good evening all, just wanted to jump in here and chat a minute. Yes, gauging on my title, you’ve probably guessed it, or questioned what clutter I was clearing? Well, it is now, almost the end of January and here in West Michigan, our recycle company comes every other week. Well, if I was a trash or recycle hauler, I wouldn’t want to pick up next week. 😯

Anyhow, I’ve been decluttering our basement, more specifically, decluttering stuff we’re not going to use, or haven’t used in over 5yrs. I told my teenagers, and my husband last week, we were going to start going thru and purging stuff, cleaning, straightening stuff up. My husband then looked at me, and said,”we’re not the incredibles honey, I have no problem with boxes still being in the basement.” Well, ok.

I’ve been trying to be more diligent in also, clearing the negative clutter, out of my life, my heart, soul and my mind. That however, is going to be, a much longer, harder goal to accomplish than just clearing the physical clutter out. It’s been getting harder and harder to be the primary one who’s more diligent in reading my Bible, family devotions in my household.

Because I’ve set myself New years goals, I’ve slacked off and need to get myself back on a schedule to do my personal devos and praise and worship before I’ve done much else in the morning. I’ll be back on the daily Bible reading tomorrow morning, along with reading backdated books, or books I had every intention of reading and reviewing last year and, for whatever the reason, haven’t gotten to them. I’ve been listening to one audiobook I downloaded off scribd, it’s by Dee Henderson and it’s, the witness. I won’t leave spoilers, but I will say it’s a good read/listen.

Ok, that’s all folks, have a great rest of your night, and I’ll catch ya all again, soon. I’m still trying to get a bit more regular on here, between being a trucker’s wife, two teenagers who are always home now, and chronic, invisible illnesses that tends to leave me not wanting to do much, it’s sometimes a struggle to get here when I do.

I’m praying for you all tonight, safe travels for anyone who’s out and about braving snowy, icy roads and for everyone and anyone battling covid or other chronic invisible illnesses.
