40 days of decrease sounds like exactly what I need. Not want, NEED. 🙂

Looking forward to “40 Days of Decrease” and becoming a willing participant in the decrease that has already been occurring in my life. The baggage, both in my physical and spiritual life is weighing me down. Thank you yet once again for helping me walk through difficult times.

Thanks for your blog. I am learning to “Live Lighter” as I was just diagnosed with breast cancer. I have had a lumpectomy and awaiting to see a radiologist and onocologist. All has stopped and I am leaning in to hear God. The clutter that I have tried to get rid of is no longer of importance to me. Each day and each moment is so precious. I Pray for Gods guidance on this Journey and to embrace what is important for the day. I remember living thru Hurricane Irene. Letting go of the “Stuff” was easy as all we had were each other in the neighborhood. Why do we sometimes forget these seasons and must learn this lesson all over again. Thank God for his continued love for us no matter what. Thanks, Alicia, for your book Anonymous-I still refer back to it and so helpful!

WOW! That was profound for me! I could ACTUALLY feel the fear of not having “everything I NEED!” I won’t even watch movies where people are stranded, like those apocalyptic (not sure of spelling) movies wheree things will never be normal again. I suppose the area I need to lighten up in is control or just holding on to what I believe to be safe. This has been extremely insightful, as I probe into the areas of my life that need decreasing. Thank you for this opportunity! 🙂

Never heard of you until today when Darlene mentioned you on a YOUTUBE when she spoke at the C3 Church San Diego this past year.

I enter 2016 with lots of anticipation – good and bad and I know that it is only through de-cluttering many areas of my life that I will be sustained through HIM. I guess I feel like I am on a sinking ship and we have to throw stuff overboard to stay afloat, trusting in My Captain, My Lord.

“The flood’s fruit seems to be dependence”

How sweet that some of the best fruit comes in unexpected, unprepared times if we only choose to see it.

I pray that God helps me thin the internal voices that steal my joy and strength. Much of it is the result of caring too much what others think. God has taken hold of me in this area, and I’m finally willing to allow Him to thin this area of my life. Looking forward to the space to dream and live again.

I would like to free up mental space by de-cluttering my thought life. If Jesus and I cannot think about it together–it isn’t worth thinking about!

Here is my current location on my Decrease Journey. It begins with awareness of my comfortable clutter. Things I added easily. Things I do automatically, instinctively without thought or focus. Praying for awareness and courage to hear and yield.

The older my husband and I get the less “stuff” we find ourselves wanting or needing. It is the simpler things in life that mean the most. Like our granddaughter saying that our home is peaceful. Then I got to share with her about how grandpa and I prayed over our home that it would be a safe haven for those that entered. That is the “stuff” that is lasting! Praise God!
