These past few months have been for me all about simplifying. I got rid of all the clothes, books, stationary, and to-dos I didn’t really needed and just kept the essentials. This whole process has been very eye opening. You really don’t realize how much stuff you really own until you move… or simply empty out your closets.
The modernization of our world has given us an endless amount of possibilities in every aspect of our lives. We must be very thankful for that, but also very careful. We can easily end up complicating our lives and become overwhelmed about everything we “have” to have or do.
When it comes to our spiritual growth, we fall in that trap too. We have a wide selection of Bible translations and formats to choose from, books, sermons, devotionals, reading plans, podcasts, study guides, commentaries, prayer journals, lettering, Sunday morning service, Sunday night service, prayer meetings, women brunches, youth camps, Bible school… and a thousand things more.
