Simplicity Angst: Comments

5/17/13 Yes, I know that the pix of books on previous blog entry looked simply ordered and somewhat "neat"....BUT regardless of my  semblance of order, the old adage of "organized clutter is still clutter" kept coming to mind. Plus, my prideful self did not focus on all the piles (papers, open Bible, scattered pens & highlighters, etc.) I kept all those out of range of my camera lens.

ljj says this is just "my" way as I always seem to "spread out" as I begin a study/prep for teaching. Is this just my "beginning" for separating and simplifying?

So what's the life lesson in this? 

• Acceptance, maybe---is this just the way I study?
• Unrealistic expectations---needing to be let go of the pursuit of perfection?
• Quit "wearing guilt" of inadequacy---for the task to which God has called?

I don't know the answers----I just know the One who is the Answer. 

So I need to return to Him---

.....with "the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ." (2 Corinthians 11:3)
