Ok, so I say that a lot-but I found that my other “go-to” saying is Holy Cow, and sonewhere between the beginning of Exodus and the end, holy cows were strictly forbidden. All of that to bring you to this-my intention in 2017 was to write weekly, and I broke that resolution in 6 days!
So here I am 13 months later to update.
#1. I did not make the weekly update.
#2. I did not make it through the year with no purchases.
#3. I continued to minimize even though I did not stop spending $.
#4. I have grown in my love towards my husband.
2017 ended up being quite an amazing year. I traveled a lot to see family. That had to be the best part of my summer. And I also gave up the classes I was pursuing. But that gave me hours to spend with Jesus in prayer and study. I do believe I have come to the time in my life that I’m living to embrace.
Now, here I am 6 weeks into 2018 with only one resolution: Continue to Minimize. So, to continue minimizing, I consider every purchase I’m going to make. If it is in my possession then it best be consumable.
Buy a book, read it.
Buy food, eat it.
Buy clothing, wear it out.
If it serves no purpose, tell it good-bye.
Until next time
