Red Wednesday's Wisdom - Clutter

Through the prompting of the Holy Spirit, I launched the Home Touched blog site called Red Wednesday’s Wisdom in August 2011, and over the next 8 months I shared my very personal, intimate and humbling stories of the clutter in my own life. I hope that by sharing those stories, it has helped you to recognize some of the clutter in your own life.

So in these next upcoming months, I am going to do some gear shifting. The focus will be more on teaching, in addition to some of the story telling. I will share what I have learned through my stories so that the clutter in your life can also be revealed and healed as it was in mine through God’s Son, Jesus and His:

Simplicity,
Order, &
Nurturance

Here is the key to experiencing less clutter in your life, and it all starts with your mind!
TAKE THE CHALLENGE:
♥ stretch yourself
♥ step out of your comfort zone
♥ examine your belief system as it relates to truth or lies
♥ replace your old thinking with a clean slate of new thinking
♥ base your new thinking on God’s Word

I challenge you to stretch yourself by going to one Scripture in God’s Word every morning. This means that you let go of the comfort of your daily routine for just 1 minute! Here is the Scripture that I encourage you to say every morning that will give you discernment about truth and lies so that you can replace your old thinking with the new thinking that is based on God’s Word. It’s from Romans 12:2, “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.”

I hope you will make the decision to take on this challenge. You will be amazed at how your life is going to become less cluttered.

I close with the following prayer. You may want to use it before going to bed at night. Prayer is simply communication with God, so it will always draw us nearer to Him.

In the name of You, Father God, Your Son Jesus, and through Your Holy Spirit, I ask that You open my ears to what You need me to hear. Open my mind to what You want me to think and open my heart to what You want me to feel. Open my eyes to what You need me to see, open my mouth to what are Your words and Your tone of voice. Use my hands to be Your hands and use my feet to take me where You want me to go.

Thank you Father for the new seeds that we are about to plant as we learn to share who we are with one another and experience Your simplicity, order, and nurturance through Your SON, who always brings healing to our sometimes cluttered and messy ways of living.
