The more I simplify the things around me, the more I am noticing the ability to slow down and take in each moment.
I didn't anticipate that. It has been an unexpected blessing.
This afternoon I played a game of cards with my son and was able to be fully present with him. Often times, I am mentally an energizer bunny, but today it was just the two of us and our card game. No mental interruptions or random thoughts. It was strange and really nice.
I was recently inspired to simplify my social media. I unfollowed several accounts on my feed. Some, I think were only "followed" because my fat fingers hit the wrong button while scrolling. Other pages that I unfollowed share content that I like to read and learn about, but at this time in my life were just cluttering my brain with information I couldn't put into application right now.
Taking away the mental clutter is freeing. More and more I can focus on what is most important. And the phrase that is beginning to take up more living space in my brain is this one:
Live for God's Glory.
I suspect God is teaching me more about this phrase and what it will mean in my life.
