Realistic Expectations

You know that I am all about keeping things simple. Too much stuff (mental or material) complicates life and leads to stress overload. We get irritable, we procrastinate, the downward spiral seems unending. Rather than New Year resolutions I am trying to evaluate what has and has not worked for me this past year. Updating this blog on a monthly basis is more realistic than weekly right now. God first, family second...then everything else. Liberating indeed.

  1. Oooo! That is precisely what the Lord has put on my heart. When we try to do everything at once we end up not achieving specific goals because we're pulled into too many directions. Downsizing will help us actually do more.
    Great post!

  3. Thank you, Eren. I've talked with many who seem to be overwhelmed with way too much stuff. You are right - its ironic that by downsizing we end up with more. When we put God first, the rest justs works out somehow.
