We say our first “yes” to God, former procrastinators, when He draws us to Himself for salvation. We’re saved from hell and for a life that brings Him glory on earth and in heaven. Salvation is not turning over a new leaf or trying harder. It means I stop trying to be good enough and…
Our entire move, former procrastinators, has been a matter of laying aside weight. The quantity of stuff we had was more than we could handle. (According to Take Your House Back, that’s the definition of “too much.”) We’d cleaned out enough to help greatly. My husband astounded me. But as the van filled, we were…
Though we are free in Christ, we can again think and act like slaves. Galatians 5:1 warns us “Do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” Let’s THINK, CHOOSE, and ACT like we’re free – avoid the old ways that entrap us, and live as the new women Christ has made us to be….
It’s happening, former procrastinators! My husband and I are moving to live near children! While we go through the process, I’ll modify some earlier blogs. Read them with life change in mind. I’ll be back when we’re somewhat settled… I have given up my dear minivan. For two years I put off parting with it …
The hands, knees, and feet, former procrastinators, are physical body parts we use to obey. (Hebrews 12:1-2) With decluttering, we start with “Yeah, I need to get rid of stuff.” But mental assent is not obedience. Once we do submit our minds and hearts to the Lord on this topic, we must physically go into…
As my ankle strengthened, former procrastinators, I asked, “Why didn’t I do this sooner and force myself to walk straight the last 6 months?” I didn’t know I could. I was afraid forcing it would cause damage. When the doctor told me to make myself walk normally, I ceased being concerned about doing damage and…
We become so accustomed to limping, former procrastinators, that we think limping is normal. We don’t think we’d be ourselves if we gave up limping – or what causes it. Have we become so accustomed to limping with the weight of excess stuff that we’re fearful about losing the stuff? Is it more comfortable to…
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
Proverbs 6:6-8
. . . you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him.
Colossians 3:9-10
