Are you one of those big tote lovers carrying everything but the kitchen sink? You grab and dump in that tote what you think you might need. It’s the opposite of the compact crossover bags designed just for essentials. You can blame your bag for something you left behind because there wasn’t enough room to fit it in.
It’s nice to be organized, which includes keeping your space clutter-free. Imagine how hard it is to search for something in a crammed drawer or bursting-to-the-seam purse. Even the thought of sorting can cause frustration and stress.
There is a place for everything—and it requires order, not hodgepodge. Just like the seasons that come one after another, not all at once. There are sowing and reaping. Pain and healing. Demolition and construction. Tears and laughter. Sadness and joy. Mourning and dancing. Giving and receiving. Lost and found. Silence and noise. You get the idea? If not, read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.
