11 months later

I have been cleaning out STUFF.  We have accumulated so much in the last year.  It seems as though I lose nearly a year when I have a baby.  I don't really function when I am pregnant and getting things done with a newborn (and the holidays) is nearly impossible. 

This week I felt compelled to get rid of junk.  The past few days I did a little work on my closet which is more of a storage room.  I decided today that I needed to start at the top of the house and work down.  So, today I worked with the older girls on their drawers and then in Erin and Rachel's bedroom.  It's still not done!  I can't believe how much junk they had stuffed everywhere....clothes, garbage,toys...UGH!  I can't wait until we get it finished tomorrow.

 

The one thing I felt today besides frustration was thankfulness to God for his blessings and provision.  We have so much...too much really.  Most of the clothes that I have in bags to give away (5 trash bags) were just given to us.  I rarely have to buy clothes for the children and it is such a blessing.
