When you abide in Christ, when you open yourself to His Spirit’s leading and changing, when you trust and obey Him, your whole being can become ministry.

Whatever you do, do it for the glory of God, do it with God, do it and see people as Jesus saw them, with needs and dreams, and love them. 

I have started more endeavors and realized more dreams in the last year then I think in my entire life. Joining @beautycounter was one of them. 

So I encourage you also — 

Take yourself seriously and not too seriously. Work diligently. Dream big. Be faithful. Have fun. Rest on Jesus. Hold it all with open hands. And enjoy it.

I love what our pastor said this morning — If it I love what our pastor said this morning — If it was just the cross, we’d be a bunch of forgiven corpses. We have been saved TO something, the richest and fullest of life, in Christ, forever. 

May we be courageous people who know real hope and endurance in the sorrow of life and real gratitude and wonder in the good of it.

What is our only confidence?

Who holds our days within his hand?
What comes, apart from his command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand

45 Things To Throw Away Today

This is not necessary one of those “you should live with less” posts, but it is a “I’d like to clutter-free my material life, help me” post. If you catch my drift. You know the idea of spring cleaning, I’m in the mood to do a Fall de-cluttering. Here’s my list of things to throw away today.

  1. Old nail polish
  2. Broken phone cases
  3. Unsubscribe from email subscriptions you don’t absolutely like
  4. Months-old pantry closet items
  5. Old shoes
  6. Empty bottles of Starbucks Frappucino drinks (this one is a bit specific for me, haha)
  7. The other half of that missing earring
  8. CDs or DVDs that are badly scratched
  9. Old invitations (I’m a poster child for not throwing any paper away.)
  10. Piles of plastic grocery bags (I’ve discovered some grocery stores have recycling bins for them!)
  11. Super old sports bras
  12. Socks with holes
  13. Loyalty cards you don’t use
  14. Wall art you don’t display
  15. Old candles
  16. Pencils with no more eraser
  17. Keychains you don’t use
  18. Hats you never wear
  19. Old washcloths or towels (into the garage they go)
  20. Art supplies you bought but haven’t used
  21. Old makeup that you never touch
  22. Well worn t-shirts that sit in the drawer (my friend’s mom made her a quilt of all her old high school t-shirts)
  23. Those Tupperware pieces with no tops (this is one of those, Chelsea, just close your eyes and do it things.)
  24. Empty cardboard boxes you don’t intend on using
  25. Old mail that has no value
  26. Manuals to appliances you don’t have anymore
  27. Old planners
  28. Old store coupons
  29. Take out menus you never look at
  30. Empty perfume bottles
  31. Stretched out hairties
  32. Trinkets that don’t make you smile every time you look at them (I have a couple)
  33. Old wedding favors
  34. Empty product boxes (Ziploc, trash bags, etc)
  35. Expired coupons
  36. Organizers that you bought to help organize but didn’t work
  37. Boxes – shoe boxes (unless they’re being used for random stuff like I do), cereal boxes. Recycle!
  38. Cookie cutters unless you’ve used them in the past year
  39. Candy that you’re not sure where it came from or how long it’s been in the pantry
  40. Recipe books you never even glance at
  41. Random batteries
  42. Old catalogs
  43. Spare change lying around (I put it in a Ziploc and then take it to Coinstar.)
  44. Junk mail
  45. Damaged clothing

Would you add anything to the list?

    YES! I love all these ideas!! It’s funny how so much of this stuff just collects over time, and how easy it is to toss it when we train our minds to believe that we really don’t need it anymore. I have such a hard time throwing away the other half of a pair (earrings, socks, etc.) because I’m convinced that someday I will find the other half! I never do. :)

    Haha, Brittany I am the exact same way. I’m also a paper hoarder. I always think I’m going to need that receipt or invitation. :)

For any fellow recovering earnaholics out there, an encouragement: 

‘Anything’ doesn’t only encompass what is outside our control — the future, loss, pain, etc. 

Anything also includes things regarding our life with God. 

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed (synonyms: unsettled, disheartened), for I am your God.” Isaiah 41:10

Fear not, He is in you. And happy to be there. 
Fear not, He’s not changed His mind about you.
Fear not, you are right with Him even now because of Christ. 
Fear not, He delights in you. 
Fear not, nothing can separate you from Him. Even you.
