Well, I think that I'm making a little progress   Last night my husband mentioned in passing that we (I) should probably go through the drawer in the kitchen that holds all of the spatulas and large utensils.  It has been pretty irritating trying to find something in there because it was so overloaded with many items that we hardly ever used.  I put that project at the top of my list, and while I was at it sorted through several other cabinets that were overflowing with rarely used items that were cluttering things up and making everything a mess.  I've almost filled a large box to take to Goodwill!!!  God answered the prayer I prayed this morning for Him to give me the strength and the courage to get rid of things.  It feels very liberating.

This project  may not be bringing his slippers to him (he doesn't wear them anyway), but at least it's a start at really listening to what he's saying and making that a priority in my life. 

I've got so many areas that need improvement, but I'm not going to let Satan discourage me by making me see everything all at once.  By God's grace I will take it one day at a time, one project at a time, obeying what He shows me to do to make the improvements on His timetable instead of trying to making them all on my own and my own timetable.

Praise God again!
