Another attempt at organization.

God's been talking to me again. Tonight, at our Young Adult Group, Michelle really encouraged us to "Be faithful in the little things." I think I've journaled about that a couple times this past week. And then I heard it again tonight. What can I say, I'm a bit slow on the uptake.  I've been talking about taking one step at a time. And walking by faith. And it makes sense that I should be practicing self-discipline and not always making everything about me.

I've been in the process of rearranging my room. I've been "de-cluttering" for the past 9 months. But now I'm really getting serious about it. And honestly, it feels really good to sit on my bed and not have [so much] clutter around. It doesn't stress my out. It's almost like I can think more clearly. My final tasks will be dun dun dunnnn, organizing my desk drawers and putting some sort of organization/space saving devices in my closet. But most of all, I would like to keep things in order. That may mean taking extra time to put things back where they belong. But what's so wrong with that?

I just hate doing little routine things. For example,  I keep my toothbrush in my room so that I can start brushing my teeth while multi-tasking so that by the time I make it to the bathroom, I don't need to wait and stare at myself until I spit, rinse and repeat. It's so easy to just go to bed at night without brushing your teeth. If I wasn't obsessed with the feeling of a clean mouth, I'd do it more often. But, there's a reason why I need to brush daily, and that's for my health. So that when I'm older, I don't have to replace my teeth or try and bite that peach with only 5 teeth.

Staying organized will in fact save my much time because I've already wasted hours of my life searching for things that have ended up just slightly hidden from my view or just misplaced.

It's a new year. I've got new goals. And organization is one of them... Twenty ten: time to get serious.
