    We have been struggling with some bills. One of my kids was in the hospital twice this year and we have hospital bills coming out of our ears. On top of the debt we are trying to dig out from under. And the surgery cost wiped out our savings.I have been praying for a while about all this stuff. I’ve tried to sell stuff before and I haven’t had any luck. I took 2 days and decluttered almost our whole house and storage. I put things aside hoping to sell. I have made over $300 the past 2 weeks. It has been such a blessing and I believe Gods work with the timing of everything. I was able to get enough money to pay for groceries when we needed them and to cover gas and enough to cover bills the day before they are due. God is really providing. On top of that my house is so much more relaxing now that I have less in here. It’s hard to let go of stuff but I can be a huge blessing in the end.

    So i finally went through almost all of our belongings. My kids are grown with families of there own. I definitely procrastinated. I can not believe how much stuff I gave away. Just random stuff. I even had brand new clothes in my closet from I dont know how long they still had tags on them. It was time consuming and sometimes gut wrenching, but like you said, you can not take it with you, so is it really necessary, that was my focus question to myself. All I want is to be healthy and happy with a clean house. Just live simply. I am soooo happy now, so it is worth it. My last room is not done yet because I got very sick, but when I am healed and better it will be done. I'm not worried heavenly father's got me, so no worries.

    Just a tip with donating items. It’s best to just throw away items with missing or broken pieces so the thrift stores don’t have to mess with doing that themselves.

    Hi Destiny, child, I think you are a fly on my walls listening to me sharing about things I need to change in my home. The last few videos you're reading my mind. Please don't stop.
    I love you talking to the camera. It's more personable. Ty for being so real and truthful. I love your videos so much. I can't wait to see where God takes this channel.

      no one in my family is minimal so this is something I've had to relearn, but you are so right, so much more time when things are not consuming our everyday.

      @ it has taken me a long time to be more minimal and I’ve gone back and forth of having more stuff and less. But when I have less I feel more at peace. I’m not a minimalist but definitely highly simplified.

    I think my generation was raised by parents who bought whatever was on clearance and had a million "just in case" items. These same parents love a big Christmas too 🤦🏻‍♀️ We're all in decluttering recovery.

    You're doing great!! Good job on decluttering and sharing that journey. You're so encouraging and I love your content!
    If you're getting overwhelmed with the decluttering process, check out Dana White and her "No Mess" method. I also really like Minimal Mom's method.
    It helps with not having the cleared out stuff everywhere, and you can stop in the middle if you need to, and it doesn't feel like a tornado went through the house.
    Keep it up! You're doing awesome and you bring such light and love to other Mamas!
    God bless you! ❤

    Spending time in prayer while folding laundry or washing dishes is a reality as well. Decluttering is great, but being purposeful with our time and thoughts is just as important, if not more so.

    I'm currently trying to have a very low buy yr for clothes next year and pair down my wardrobe. I love op shopping but i have too many clothes and i cant even fit half of it or find what i want. I shop to get a easy dopamine hit. But i want to focus on the Lord instead and find joy in his presence instead of distracting myself.
