This idea of living with less has been penetrating my heart and mind all summer... which I know, for me, it's not humanly possible that it'll happen overnight or even over a summer. I. Am. A. Professional. Stuff-o-Maniac... and it's exhausting!!

This thought occurred to me last night... I keep buying plastic containers, to store the STUFF, that I bought at the STORE, that I need to stuff my STUFF into and STORE!!!!! *YikES! Yeah...in space that we've run out of! wink emoticon
And being a teacher even compounds my problem to epic porportions. 

**Holy rubbermade containers Batman... where in the WORLD hath all this STUFF Cometh Frometh??

Entertaining the idea of Living with Less has been much more of a spiritual journey for me than a physical one. I'm not there yet, and I won't be for awhile... but I've started on this journey and it's in-processing moment by moment. like emoticon On any given day, I find myself doing-over those same bad habits... but slowly but surely new ones are beginning to sprout.

God's Word this morning confirms that I'm on the right road...
"Be transformed by the renewing of your mind," Romans 12:2
I especially love how the New Living Translation rephrases it:
"Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."

If you're still with me and have a couple extra minutes to read the attached link, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
