Well, it's almost here. I can't believe it is December 30th already. God has blessed me graciously this year in so many areas. He is so good to me. I am humbled and awe struck. Thanks, Dad.
For this new year, God has placed on my heart to downsize. So, starting on January 1, 2009, I am going through every box, every closet and every dusty hidden shelf to go full throttle "out with the old, in with the new." I need to clear the air and by getting rid of some clutter, I feel I am on my way to truly a simple life. I can't breathe in all this mess, and if I can't breathe, I can't think and I can't be all that God has for me to be. So, here I am Lord. Use me.
And, as a good steward of God's stuff, I am donating everything to charities that is still worth using. All the clothes I wish I still fit into. All the novels I've been planning to read since 1989. All of it is going to where God tells me to send it so someone else may be blessed by all that God has given to me.
Now, with more space, Dad can give me more stuff. LOL Okay, maybe that is not quite what He had in mind, but I'm am still human after all. :o)
May God bless you richly in 2009. May His desires be your desires, and may all your wildest God dreams come true and may He receive all the glory.
To be used by Him in 2009 and always,
DMM :o)

Thank you so much, Michael. I haven't posted in awhile and was so blessed and amazed by your post. Thank you for taking the time to write. I promise new posts soon. I'm tackling my first attempt at gardening and will have simple living tips, hints and catastrophes to share. :o)
May God bless you richly this year and always.
