I challenge you!

Okay, so I have a challenge for you. My challenge is that you, along with me, take one hour per day to de-clutter your homes. I say one hour and one hour only per day. The reason for this is that if you do more than one hour you will get tired of doing it after a day or two and then it would be easy to give up. Over the first week you will see enough progress to encourage you to continue. Let me suggest to you that it be the same time everyday. My time will be from 3:30 to 4:30. I will post some pictures along my journey to organization and clutter free living. I look forward to next month when, I suspect, my house will have a much different feel. Remember, even if you are “on a roll” with de-cluttering and organizing stop when your hour is up! This is extremely hard for me to do but it is worth it. My strategy is to tackle one room at a time. My first task in my home is to finish Conner's room. It should take me a few days and then on to the school room. These will be the ones that I will for sure show pictures! They will be the most drastic changes. I need those finished soon! I am in my 3rd week of school and I can't really use the school room yet. Hopefully Conner will be sleeping in his room this time next week. Let me know if you are going to join with me! The great thing about having a particular hour set aside every day is that once the de-cluttering is done you can move on to other home projects.

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength!

I recently heard a message about waiting on the Lord. This came at a good time considering the circumstances that we have found ourselves in the last few months. I am thankful that we have a God who will give us the strength to go on when the situation seems impossible.
