On a more interesting note, this song is great!

Eternal 811 8th wash
Hand-washing jeans is fun... What can beat stinky, greenish water, and the back-breaking work of rinsing and repeating? Noticed something that possibly could be mold on some parts of the jeans, so better to be safe than sorry. Warm soak, and hand-wash.

Keep my heart
Oh, that You would keep my heart
And lay out my paths even before I start
You guide every step that I am about to take
Teach me to know truth from the fake
Give me the strength to remember Your heart
Through the wilderness, fire and flood
Help me to recognize Your voice
In the midst of all of life's noise
Let me know that You are always there
When I am weighed down by all my cares
On Your face may my focus continually be
Show me all that You want me to see
Bring to remembrance, help me keep in mind
That Your thoughts and ways are not like mine
In spite my weaknesses I still can stay strong
Help my unbelief though the road seems so long
At the springs of Marah, there I shall not dwell
But take me to the rivers of life, a bubbling well
Let me not be choked by thorny ground
But in Your presence, always, may I be found
A new beginning, fresh oil, and a new touch
Thank You Lord, thank you so much
Philippians 1:6 "being confident in this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;"
And lay out my paths even before I start
You guide every step that I am about to take
Teach me to know truth from the fake
Give me the strength to remember Your heart
Through the wilderness, fire and flood
Help me to recognize Your voice
In the midst of all of life's noise
Let me know that You are always there
When I am weighed down by all my cares
On Your face may my focus continually be
Show me all that You want me to see
Bring to remembrance, help me keep in mind
That Your thoughts and ways are not like mine
In spite my weaknesses I still can stay strong
Help my unbelief though the road seems so long
At the springs of Marah, there I shall not dwell
But take me to the rivers of life, a bubbling well
Let me not be choked by thorny ground
But in Your presence, always, may I be found
A new beginning, fresh oil, and a new touch
Thank You Lord, thank you so much
Philippians 1:6 "being confident in this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;"
Keep in mind
It's tough, but I have to constantly keep in mind: He is here with me both on the mountain-top and in the valleys low.

100 things (clothes) challenge, start.
So, I just spent a couple of hours going through my wardrobe and clearing it out. I will be heading down to the Salvation Army drop-off point later to drop off 3 huge bags of clothes. Ridiculous, extremely ridiculous. Well, this can officially be the start of my 100 Things (Clothes) Challenge.
I cleared out close to half of the clothes in my cupboard, and I realized that this is not easy. Many things I am still hanging on to, because of 'sentimental' reasons and whatnot. Well, one cannot expect to move a mountain on the first try.
I am going to do a bi-monthly thing: Every 2 months, I will go through my wardrobe (if I am so inclined, and have the time to do so), and the things that I have not worn more than 5 times the past 2 months, I will consider giving them away.
This is a challenge, and I realized how much money I have WASTED on things that are now hiding in my cupboard, never to see the light of day. But I guess that this is something good. Next, after the 100 Things (Clothes) Challenge, I will attempt to take on the rest of my possessions. But that will be a year later...
Wish me all the best!

Oh, the humanity
The condition of humanity is such that we are ensnared by our foibles, and maladies forged by our own hands, and yet it is these that make us so gloriously human.
Oh, the humanity.
Oh, the humanity.

The 100 Things Challenge
Those who know me know that I am such a consumer. So it should be surprising that I am inspired by NYT's recent article on consumerism, which led me to search for "The 100 Things Challenge."
So, I am going to start on my own journey, and what better time than to start tonight. But I am setting a more modest goal of 100 items of clothing. This is just the start of something small, but something that could potentially lead to something bigger! :) So don't judge me for my lack of faith...
Since the original challenge allowed for a year to pare stuff that one owns down to 100 items, I am also going to take my time to set aside things that I don't really need/use anymore, and get ready to give them away. I give myself 2 months, which is totally arbitrary. Will try to update regularly about my journey. It is time to de-clutter my life!
And following in the footsteps of the original writer, I am going to set a few of my own rules, in addition to what he had already mentioned.
1. I am going to be brutal and ruthless about giving away my stuff.
2. But things with sentimental value stay.
So with these 2 caveats, in addition to the original game plan, I am going to try to tackle the biggest mountain (literally) in my room, my wardrobe! Counting down the hours.
Let's see where this goes in a couple of days. I bet Salvation Army is going to be so glad! :P
