Yes ma'am. Amazing enough... while it is an easy choice to make... the reality of making it happen is anything but easy.

This world we live in goes so fast that it makes getting off the track a hard task.

Amen! And it's wonderful that God knows the thoughts and intents of our hearts!

Isn't that the absolute truth. It's not easy to unload stuff and make changes. I'm doing a near complete liquidation and moving across the country and lworking toward living a greatly downsized and reduced lifestyle when I get there and it's gonna take me about a year to make that happen. It's nuts. Shalom doesn't come easily, but it's worth it. For me, some it is necessitated by the economy, most of it by choice. It's been something I've been working toward for awhile, well before the recession hit.
