Simplify.

Last week while I was online I found Andy Stanley quoting a line from a book by Bill Hybels that caught my attention.

"Simplified living requires more than just organizing your closets or cleaning out your desk drawers. It requires uncluttering your soul."

I started researching the book and the more I kept reading about the book the more excited I got.  As I am trying to unclutter and simplify my own life physically, how fitting that I would run into something that could help me spiritually as well.

Two days after I saw that first quote, the book was delivered to my doorstep.  The book is "Simplify. Ten practices to unclutter your soul." By Bill Hybels. I am not even finished with the first chapter and I think my highlighter may be running out of ink!

Let me share a paragraph with you:

"Simplified living is about more than doing less.  It's being who God called us to be, with a wholehearted, single-minded focus. It's walking away from innumerable lesser opportunities in favor of the few to which we've been called and for which we've been created.  It's a lifestyle that allows us, when our heads hit the pillow at night, to reflect with gratitude that our day was well invested and the varied responsibilities of our lives are in order."

Sounds great, doesn't it?
