Monthly Agenda: February

I am a couple of days late posting my monthly agenda for February due to being so busy. The funny this is I have been focusing on simplicity. I really want to cut down on things. They drag my spirit down. We all love filling our home with goodies but the question is when do those things begin to drift our focus away from Christ and where he wants us to be? 2 Corinthians 11:3 reminds me that the devil is the one who tries to distract us from the good things God wants us focused and centered on. So, in my quest for simplicity I am throwing or giving the junk away that bogs down my life. February is going to be a month of simplicity! Will you join me? I am going to find ways to cut out the clutter from my space, time, + thoughts.
