Organize ~ Simplify

I have adopted two keywords for this year - Organize and Simplify. If there are two things I need to work on, it is getting organized and simplifying my life. There is so much clutter in my world and I sometimes feel overwhelmed, and that I am doing too much. I find myself hanging onto too much STUFF! It's almost as if the Paper Monster exploded in my house! Junk mail, old lists, and all those magazines - I mean, really, how long do I need to save back issues of these magazines. I was able to simplify and organize my family room after Christmas - I even dusted the knick-knacks (trust me - that was an accomplishment). And it made me feel like there was a little part of my house I could retreat to that didn't have me overwhelmed! As I pray for God's guidance in my life, I hope to simplify my life to give His plan more presence in my life.
