- one of the things about simplicity is that it is not easy to start
- but I know:
- it has to start in the heart and I do believe
- that what I/we may think of as simplicity is not what God
- is wanting to work in my heart.....
- I did think it would be easy
- just eat less and use less and buy less and do less
- but that is not quite how it is turning out for me
- yes, I do turn out the lights when I leave a room
- and I try to be ''green''. and many other so on...
- but I see too that God wants me to start sharing
- the things that I do have--
- and not the typical ''drop off of old clothes'' at the
- thrift store- sigh- I knew it was not going to be
- that easy-
- but what then is it that I am to do?
- I am not sure yet but I know it is cutting into
- my selfish heart
- it is so easy to get caught up in what I have
- and keep it to myself-
- after all - it is mine- isn't it ?
- and I did work for it etc etc etc. and
- some of it holding a memory too ......
- alas I have to say that I do not know
- what God is going to ask me to do
- but I do know that I am going to
- have to become ''still'' and know
- that He is God----and He owns the stuff
- pray with me as I sort this out in my life
- sigh
- and I thought a cup of simplicity was going to be simple
