"I'm DISORGANIZED!"
Ok, now that that's out of the way, you all know my biggest problem, and it is not just in one area of my life.
I have so many pans in the fire that sooner or later something is going to get overlooked and disaster may ensue. If you are a friend or loved one you know my heart is in the right place, but I'm sure you've been singed by my disorganization.
I want it to change... no, I want to change! So, I'm challenging myself to do what is necessary to get some order in my life. In 2011 I made some progress at decluttering my life, but it just wasn't enough. Because of my disorganized tendencies I dropped the ball, and there was no follow through to continue in the process.
One of my sisters has lived a bachelorette lifestyle for some time now. She's really good at paring down, living simplistically, and creating order in her home. Having helped her with Christmas dinner this year I realized she is a little too minimalistic, but the concept is still very attractive to me.
I want the ability to find what I need when I need it. I don't want to miss a dental appointment even when they call two days before to remind me of it, and I want to find a phone number that at one time I had memorized but now can't remember. Bottom line - I want order in my life.
With all the responsibilities I have there is no room for disorganization. So in 2012 I'm taking it one step at a time. I'm going to start by Trustin' Him!
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
"Dear Heavenly Father,
There is so much to be done and the task seems so overwhelming. I pray that You would give me the strength to start, and finish, what needs to be done. I give myself to You to make the changes in me that need to begin. And as I go about each day this week, I pray that I would not drift from You, but lean on You for understanding and for You to direct my path. I submit myself to You and trust You with my life and with all of my heart. Direct me Lord. Be there to catch me when I fall, and give me the strength that I need to continue on. I trust You Lord. Be with me now and throughout this week, and the rest of the year, as I look to You to finish the tasks that are ahead of me.
In Jesus' name.
Amen." Amy Verlennich, Create in me a Clean Heart! Devotional

You CAN do this. I know what you mean about the minimalistic lifestyle. I gave that a shot a couple months ago. I liked it, but it was too much cut back at one time. I'm excited to get going on this! Praying for you!
