Charles Swindoll writes, "the initial move toward cultivating intimacy with the Almighty, it is essential that we reorder our private lives. (the discipline of simplicity) And that requires us to slow our pace as well as stop the envy (comparing ourselves to all that others have and do)... two tough assignments no one else can do for us. Furthermore, it is foolish to tell ourselves to sit back and wait until the winds of this world shift and blow us toward the shores of simplicity. It ain't gonna happen! Those who determine to simplify their lives quickly discover it is a rigorous solo voyage against the wind."
The word Diann and I are challenging each other with is getting "nimble"... uncluttering and seeking to be more free from stuff that weighs us down. I feel the wind in my face as I go.
