The little things...

As we attempt to change things around here one step at a time it is making me aware of my desperate need for God.  Hang with me as I am no "writer" I just love to jot and tiddle my thoughts.  We are taking small steps to use less power and conserve our resources.  Some of them...hanging our clothes out to dry, using little to no lights, using fans (no air)...yet!  Washing our dishes by hand, going down to a cell phone...no land line w/internet, no T.V., cloth diapers, cloth wipes, no baggies (that's my new one).
There are many reasons why we are doing these.  Some I'll share.  We want to not just be consumers, but to do our part!   We want our children to grow up with the knowledge of all of what we are doing (physically and spiritually).  Ya just never know what's coming down the road, we would like to be free of "the system", we would like to owe no man anything except to love, we desire to have the peace of God not the "peace of this world, and one last one I'll share we would like to be in tuned with nature and our bodies which we believe would give us a  more simple blessed life.
As we are doing these things I am realizing my weaknesses and my lack of discipline.  I'm having to rely on and seek God for my priorities.  I'm becoming more aware of the need to be MORE organized.  I'm realizing how much we take for granted and waste!
