One of the benefits of
moving back and forth overseas is the lack of junk cluttering our lives. Each
time we move we go through everything we own, and if something is not worth
storing for three years, out it goes. In general, people will fill all
available storage space before taking action. For us, there is freedom in
seeing empty shelves! We have now set about the task of extricating as much
stuff as possible from our lives....
The hard part is
determining what we will actually use in three years. When we unpacked in July
of 2011, I found a VCR. Three years ago we had video tapes, now we only have
DVDs. I also discovered a phone… the kind you plug into the wall. Cell phones
are more practical for us as we travel around the country. So, what other
technology will become obsolete by 2016? Add to this decisions about clothing,
furniture, appliances… packing can quickly become a daunting task. However, one
thing is for certain: when we are done, we will not be encumbered by “things”!
Prayer Point: Please pray for us as we make
decisions on what to keep, what to donate, and what to pitch.
