Less

I think I am in the process of simplifying. For one thing, I have a whole lot that I don't use and it is clutter and excess, so I am also in the process of selling. I probably should just have a yard sale...it might come to that. A lot of what I have might just need to go to Goodwill or something, but I have this sense that I need to purge. Because in a way I am starting this new life. A new and exciting life of a missionary..whatever that even means.

I am intent on becoming new all over, inside and out (mostly on the inside). I intend to find joy and contentment in most any situation. I intend to love more and attempt to be more selfless. I intend on having more patience. I am intending on a lot of things..but you know what they say about good intentions. I guess to use the old adage "the proof is in the pudding." It is simply an era of life that allows me to prepare my life for what might come ahead without fully understanding what the outcome will be.

In my short existence I have heard the saying less of me and more of Him. Or if you want to get Biblical.."I decrease so that Christ might increase." This is the simplicity of faith. I wish that I could take a big ice cream scooper and scoop out all the gook that hinders the Holy Spirit, or better yet hinders my heart from receiving guidance from the Spirit. But I have no such apparatus to scoop spiritual muck out and away. So I go back to the simplicity of faith....

Less of me, more of Him.

So my life is starting to simplify. I am making a lot of adjustments. I'm a bundle of different emotions and...well....here goes..(!)

All to God
