Major's Moment
During our family cleaning day, I ended up organizing our board game area. Puzzles and games were crammed in the entertainment set. Uno, Phase 10, and Bicycle cards were all mixed up. Our imitation Jenga blocks were in a shopping bag and not even it it's container. It was so unruly that we didn't even look at the games section in a long time. It was so cluttered that the area wasn't even usable anymore.
It was so satisfying getting everything organized. I could actually see what we had to play with. The cards were organized, incomplete sets thrown out, and wrapped with rubber bands. All I had to do was clear out the unnecessary items and take the time to put the items away. I have no doubt that we will enjoy playing games again from that area.
The same is so true in my life. When I declutter my worries, my conveniences, anger, unforgiveness, fear , worry, and the list goes on - I am able to see and enjoy the blessings that I have. I need to constantly ask what's most important? What do I need in my life? What about you? Is there anything cluttering your life and your walk with God? Maybe it's time for a good clean.
"Seek first God’s kingdom and what God wants. Then all your other needs will be met as well." - Matthew 6: 33

Read through the Bible this year.
A great way to begin the New Year is to start a read through the Bible in a year plan on the YouVersion App. A friend invited me to join in a reading plan. Here's a link to the plan if you'd like to check it out.
