#doingless

So last night I was laying around thinking about life (you know the normal stuff like bills, money, work, and wants/needs) and I became overwhelmed by the thought that I have been doing a lot of bad things. A lot of bad things that has led to a lot of unnecessary stress. A lot of unnecessary stress that has led to a lot of lack of trust in God.

This may surprise most of you reading this, but not me. Like any addict, you don’t understand the bad situation until it really hits you in life. Some times it may be too late, but in my case it was just at the right time.

This realization slapped me right in the face. The realization that over the last year I have been doing A LOT of unnecessary things that are taking away from my one goal: to worship God with my entire life.

I have come to the conclusion that I need to do less of shopping, less worrying, less time on my phone and social media, less time spent feeling guilty, less time focusing on myself, less wanting, and many more.

I have decided if I do this it will lead me to more time praying, more time in God’s word, more time to get my financial goals in order, more time for laughter, more time for being a better girlfriend and focusing on Eric’s needs, more time being a better sister, daughter, and friend

I have decided that starting March 26,2015, that I am going to go a full year without purchasing clothes. Yup, I said it, a whole year. If any of you know me, you know I have a ridiculous amount of clothing and love shopping. Instead I am going to spend time in the word to work on paying off my loans and be at financial peace. I feel that will open up my heart for God to use me how he wants to use me.

God has put and kept me here for a reason. I need to make sure I’m doing his will.

HOLD ME TO THIS FRIENDS!!
