Why am I such a pack rat?

Why am I such a pack rat? I ask myself. When I start to throw things away, I think Oh I can make something with that. And I do eventually. I can call it recycling (that will make me feel better), but sometimes I let it overwhelm me. Why? why do I save everything. I use to complain about my granny saving everything. Now I am just like her. I want my house to be organzied. It is hard when you save everthing. But anyhow, I had some really intense dreams last nite. Idreamed I was working in busy salon. and wanted to. I have had times when I don't know what to do. i do have a good job outside of doing hair. But my passion is hair. I dream of working or having a nice salon that offers everything. I could let it comsume my life. Like my husband does about Harley's. I know I could provide myself with a happy medium with both. My family life and my job (salon) life. I just have to provide the balance.

Edisto Beach

My husband and I had a chance to still away for a weekend getaway to Edisto Beach, South Carolina; on the Harley. It was so pretty and laid back. We watched to sunset Friday nite and Saturday nite. I enjoyed the food. The wind was blowing pretty bad on Saturday. and I got cold. I had to take a HOT shower to get warmed up. But we needed a few days to reconnect with each other and enjoy the ride.

Today

I have been so busy lately. I am trying to learn to take control of my time as well as my money. As both has taken me by control. It seems all I do is work, not having time to really clean my house so it could be hospitality when someone stops by. I have been asking the Lord to help me in this area. And He is. But when something out of the ordinary happens it throws everything off task. Thats why I should plan for things like that. I've always done things by my feelings; which isn't the right thing to do. I need to push back my feelings and do what I need. Lord, help me today, help me to push away my feelings and worship you by doing things you have put on my heart. Father God, Put things on my heart so strong that it will consume me today. In Jesus name Amen.
