Dreadlocks Update

>> My dreads are coming along nicely. They still aren't mature but we're getting better at maintaining them and God is faithfully refining my heart and showing me that I am still prone to put faith in my appearance.
>>
>> It's ok to be clean, kept up and even trendy but I too often forget to praise God for His creation and His greater beauty and instead focus on my fleeting beauty and how others view it.
>>
>> I'm finding it hard to explain...
>>
>> I put dreads in so I could focus less on my appearance and more on God. I found that I can still, if left unchecked, put my focus on my appearance. Basically I'm still a sinner. No outward actions are going to change that. Only Christ can save me from myself.
>>
>> Thank God for that.

We're trying to simplify.

We want our lives to be ruled by Christ, not stuff.

We feel like we own too many things. We can't use them all, or even enjoy them all when we have so many. We've found that if we have so many things they actually take away from our enjoyment because we have to clean them, organize them, or just trip over them.

We also find that we love to be generous and have found that Ruby also enjoys sharing toys and clothes. We want to instill generosity in her little heart, not a love for things and there's no better way than by example.

This is also the reason that we've consolidated our blogs. We were no longer enjoying blogging. We were anxious about not posting enough or having to put pictures on each.

We're trying to simplify.
