First of all I want to shout a huge Happy Birthday to my dear Mother!  Though we are half a country apart in physical distance you are as close to my heart as a person can get!  May the Lord bless you this day and throughout the year and share with you all that He has for you. I love you!

I am also excited! I have been organizing and purging my things/junk in our home, filing and either donating or throwing away anything that isn't necessary to have.  It's a slow process, partly because of the everyday chores that must be done but also because it is hard to get rid of somethings and to know where to put what needs to be kept. There are oodles of places and ideas online so I have been 'researching' these.  It has been fun but I suppose I have probably spent more time than necessary on that part.  Next project - learning to balance my time! :-)
 This weekend my family and I spent the two days, part of each of them at any rate, emptying out one of our three storage units.  It is finished now, empty! Yahoo! It is a burden off of our shoulders.  It feels so good to get organized.
One think I have noticed, though, is that I seem to get organized and then something happens to throw me off course again.  So I have been praying, not so much that these 'wrenches' won't come because, I suppose, that is what life is, but more than that, that the Lord will help me to overcome through these times and I will keep diligent in my organizing.
I guess I had better say 'See you later' and get back to organizing. I will try to keep you updated as to my progress, maybe even with some pictures. You just never know! ;-)
