if i forget my password every time i log into blog, then it is obviously too long between posts.
i'm feeling very creative lately. i just want to move in this creative flow but find that i can't. why not, you ask? i think that it is because i have too much stuff (too much physical stuff as well as too much stuff to do). therefore, in this creative flow i'm also feeling this urge to purge. i've heard repeatedly that people only wear 20% of their clothes 80% of the time. i know that has to be true. i find myself always keeping clothes and things "just in case". and then, undoubtedly, that "case" never comes around. also, with clothing, i love to wear lots of it and layer it so that means i need more of it. but in reality, i wear the same things over and over because i like them. and let's face it, it isn't that easy to find clothes that you look good in, feel comfortable in, and can either be pregnant or nursing in!
we've gone to quite a few events already this year where so many of my dresses have been eliminated from the permutations due to the inability to nurse! and it being summer thus removes so many of my many skirts. in fact, tonight while getting ready for a wedding i found a skirt in my closet on one of those hangers that holds four skirts/trousers/pants/shorts/etc. it was from express and is a size 1/2. it used to fit around my hips (in high school), but now fits only around my waist. why do i still have it if i haven't worn it in years?
i think that i'm going to trust god and really just let a lot (and boy do i mean a lot) of stuff go. i hold on to class notes and handouts and maps when i can find them all online if i were in need of resources when teaching.
i don't want to use all of this stuff to miss out on opportunities to live my life with my husband and my kids. i don't want to be martha busying myself with things around my house missing out on sitting at the feet of jesus.
