Contentment is something I have always struggled with. I vow to make it a point to live in each and every moment given to me by our gracious God. Hebrews 13:5 "Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have, for He Himself has said, I will never desert you, nor will I forsake you. "
Practical Application: Have you ever cleaned out your closet to find things with the tags still attached? I have more times than I can count. Shopping in any capacity (yes even the grocery store) is one of my favorite things to do. Back to the closet, I LOVE to clean out my closet and organize my clothes into sections (yes I LOVE to organize), my point here is when I do this my closet seems to transform itself. I encourage you today to go shopping in your closet. I promise you won't be disappointed. I find using Polyvore and Pinterest can also help me give an old outfit a new look by simply adding accessories or pairing it with a cute pair of shoes. Have fun and take some risk with your closet.
Practical Application #2" As I mentioned above shopping tends to be one of my favorite things to do but with two kids in private school I don't always have the extra funds to run out and buy something new. So instead I rearrange what I already have...try moving a picture or vase to another room or rearranging your furniture. One of my favorite projects is to give a piece of furniture a new coat of paint! For instance I have a small stand that has been painted numerous times and has become one of my favorite pieces in my house. Redecorating with you already have can be fun and inexpensive if your willing to let your creative juice flow. I promise you will be happy with your end product and have a sense of accomplishment afterwards.
I vow to take what the Lord has blessed me with and make it new.
