Ever wish life could be more simple?
I am at this point in my life where I feel the constant need to simplify things. I havn't slept well now for about 2 weeks. I lay awake half the night with thousands of problems, ideas, and memories running through my mind. I can't turn it off! I have recently gone through all my clothes, my kids' clothes, the medicine cabinet, the toy box, and just about everything else you can mention just trying to get rid of the "clutter" in our lives. Everytime I complain about how little space we have in our house with our kids having to share a small room with one very small closet, I feel God reminding me that houses used to be even more cramped with smaller living and sleeping spaces and more kids to add to it. I have come to the conclusion that what I long for is CONTENTMENT. What is contentment? I havn't figured that out yet. I'm just praying that God will help me find that which I need to eliminate from my life so that this feeling of DISCONTENTMENT will leave me alone and let me sleep.

Holly - I just found your blog through Sarah's blog. Hope you don't mind, but I will link it to mine as well.
When I find the answer to your question about CONTENTMENT I will let you know. I don't know about you, but I feel guilty about this, because I am so blessed and yet I am also seeking or worrying about something. I guess we just have to keep seeking God and trust in him that he will take care of our every need.
I will pray that you will be able to "turn it off" and you will be able to rest with a peace that passes all understanding, which I know is easier said than done.
Valerie.
Hey where did the "Everything" song go? Braiden and I like dancing to it! Can you get me the name of who sings it so I can get it myself. Valerie.
