Clutter

Have you ever found yourself so distracted by the clutter in your life? 

That is me almost everyday I am home. There is always a room to clean, laundry to wash or fold, stacks of paper to sort. It's exhausting. So exhausting, in fact, that I have often pondered what it might look like to rid myself of everything in my home and move into a tiny home or RV. Maybe that would help me to be less distracted.

I doubt it.

I use to think that having less stuff would be less distracting. (Use to as in like right before I started writing this blog.) But what is a distraction?

dis·trac·tion/dəˈstrakSH(ə)n/noun: a thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else.

Well, if I am constantly saying that my life is full of distractions, what do I feel like I am being distracted from? Or should I say who? I always feel like i have some many other things going on in my life, maybe I will miss what it is God is trying to show me. I suppose that is a direct reflect of my heart. 

God, let me hear You today. Help me to stop seeing my life and everything in it as distractions. Lord, guide me and direct me throughout my day to use the resources that I have to further Your kingdom. I'm not sure what that means and what that fully looks like but You get me. Amen.
