Once my in laws stuff is cleared out and its been cleaned, I can work on making it look better.

What gives life meaning? It clearly isn't the extra things we buy. Our Father knows we need things. But what gives life meaning are often purpose, passion, and personal relationships. We want to make plenty of room for that. I know in the past I would buy things to alter my mood. I'd shop to...

Cannot seem to sleep. Its 2am. The new place...? I'm not a fan. I regret moving to this ugly place.

Packing seemed to go on and on and I was a bit sad because it looked like there was still quite a lot of things left despite my purging. However, it all fit into a small part of one of the bedrooms of the new place. That made me feel good. The moving process has gone well. I'm happy.

All packed and in the midst of moving

There's a huge bookstore in my town that is apparently a huge hangout spot for young adults. Plenty of mingling and flirting going on. I witnessed to a young man there and felt really good about that conversation. I prayed for him in the parking lot and left with a book on minimalism.

Ive had shoes like that in the past but only because they were just really cheap shoes from the thrift store. Lol Minimalist shoes sounds interesting though. I wonder if they are comfortable.

Am 95 percent packed and boxes are everywhere. Good because we have to move out by Monday. I don't miss any of the things Ive donated or thrown away. In fact, I will definitely continue to downsize whenever these boxes are unpacked again. It just feels like Im closing a big chapter of life...

Praise God!

Welcome to the Forums! God bless you!

Welcome to the forums! I'm Wynona. It's nice to meet you! Hope to see you around. Father, I pray that MJ-TIC will not lean on his own understanding, but receive direction from You as he draws closer to You. Give him purpose and insight into the calling you have for Him. Give him a vision...

Not sure why it's so hard for me but Proverbs 3:5-6 is helping me. He shall direct my path. It's a promise.

I believe I shifted in my spirit in prayer today. I am asking Father for a lot of help so that I stop running ahead. I am asking for help so that I truly trust Him. His counsel is good. I just need to heed it.

"Let go of your attempts to control and plan your way out and allow God to lead." I read that in an article. Why is that so hard?

I use my smartphone to go on here so I will still have the forum. I start on Monday.

My last day as a volunteer at the pregnancy center. It was a blessing, seeing the ladies off. I just wish I knew what I was doing in life now.

I'm always trying to make stuff happen, often running ahead of God. It feels like if I don't do it, then Ill be a useless do-nothing forever. Almost like Cain, I come up with what I want to do to serve God and not what He wants. I'm afraid He won't reveal anything for me to do. I'm afraid to...

Yes. I'm right there with you. Just got off the phone with my Mom. She said it was funny I'm into minimalism now because I was quite the hoarder! Father, please help Marks to grow in having treasures in heaven. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Have just watched Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important things. I feel like learning to let go of unnecessary things is only a small part of the answer. Focusing on Jesus is the whole definitive answer. But I enjoyed the film's lesson: stuff does not equate to happiness. I want to...
