"Susan's "I Don't Need this Anymore!""

YES - I am going through exactly the same thing!  In fact, the Lord had to actually move us out of our home/ministry and put almost all our belongings in storage for me to realize that I can function so much better and accomplish His work so much more efficiently with less "stuff"!!
 
In May our house was flooded and we had to move out while repairs are made.  I was only told to pack for 2-3 weeks so I grabbed a few ministry items from our office and some clothes.  Well, it has been 2 months in a hotel with our 6 kids and we have found that our ministry has flourished while we are getting by on "less"!    I have learned such a lesson!  When we are able to move back in - at least 1/2 of what is in storage will get the pitch!  I know I can do more with less and I plan to scale down.
 
AND as a watcher - I feel it will be easier on the Tribulation saints who have to follow us after we're gone.  They will have less "stuff" to deal with!  That's what I feel the Lord is doing , anyway!
 
Thanks for your post, Susan - I look forward to hearing from others who are "de-cluttering" their lives as well!!
 
YSIC,
