Purging

The past few months have just flew by. Today is already St. Patty's day so we know spring is coming. Well the past few weeks our pastor has talked about stewardship. It really has been placed upon my heart that we are not good stewards of anything. In saying that we have started making a few changes. First instead of heading to the store to buy what we think we want or what we need, we head to the thrift shop. What a bargain. Well last week I went to our local GW Design (Good Will) to find some polo shirts for my son who has started his first job. I found some great shirts!! I browsed the book and behold there was a copy of "Boundaries" by Dr Henry Cloud. I have heard many times from Dave Ramsey that it was an awesome book to read. I did buy it from GW for $1. I brought it home and could not put it down. What an awesome Biblical book on how to set all kinds of boundaries!!!! I recommend it to everyone. Well between reading that, church messages and Dave Ramsey we decided to do a little purging. My son and I listed a bunch of stuff on Ebay and made some cash!! My husband and I purged our bedroom and closet. All I can say is WOW. Having all the stuff we had has to be a sin. Gluttony of junk! We did do the entire room and I dropped off 14 bags of stuff to the GW collection center and gave all my scrapbooking stuff to a friend at work. What a difference it makes! I felt like I had a weight lifted from just one room. So tomorrow I plan to purge the spare bedroom, then this weekend my son's room. We are getting back to the basics and not cluttering anymore. Thank God!
