For God is not a God of confusion but of peace...
1 Cor 14:33a ESV But all things should be done decently and in order. 1 Cor 14:40 ESV Today's devotional is entitled "Clutter or Calm", and let me just say it's definitely a "twitching" moments. Butttttttt...the perspective is so simple I can actually see myself using this advice. The best part is this is nothing new. Just a gentle reminder of what I already know. Clutter goes hand in hand with chaos, confusion, and even depression. What I endear to "nesting" is really a defense mechanism I use to feel safe and secure. What starts out simple enough turns into more clutter and less security. So, today i decided to do something about it. I set my timer for 20 minutes and organized the clutter on my bed. When the timer went off the, I set it for another 20 minutes. This was more than just putting things away. I could dumped all of it in a box somewhere and be done with it in less than 5 minutes. But what's the point of decluttering if I'm not going to organize as well? After 40 minutes, I have all my patterns tucked away in a craft box, all the loose, unused yarn back in its bin, and I only have the 3 projects left that are easily moved around without getting tangled. Is my room perfect? Not by a long shot. Do I have more to organize? Ha ha ha! At this moment, I feel better, more motivated, and encouraged to continue. Onto my next 20 minute project, hopefully just as productive as the last! An Apple a Day 7 Day devotional provided by Michael Mol, Dalene Reyburn and Christian Art Publishers.
