My bedroom is in need of a makeover. The pale gray blue walls remind me of a gathering storm. I have too much furniture in the space; and it's not functional. I've been wanting to redecorate it for some time, but I haven't gotten around to it. Basically, I watch TV and I go to sleep in this room. I have a desk covered with magazines and books. There is absolutely no space for my laptop or makeup supplies. Truthfully, a trip to IKEA or The Container Store could solve some of the issues. I have so many books and makeup products a great shelving system would be nice. Unfortunately, I hoard paper. Receipts, bills, and other random papers. It's really ridiculous. I would post a pic, but I can't find my camera at the moment. Saved by my tendency to misplace things.
Anyway, I'm watching the OKC/Spurs game and I'm annoyed by the size of my TV, which has rarely bothered me prior to tonight. It's a small color TV that my mom bought me from a pawn shop 7 years ago. Yes, it still works, but the score is so tiny I couldn't tell who was winning the game until the crowd went crazy! AND, I'm wearing my glasses. LOL
The interesting thing about my room is that it often reflects what's going on in my spiritual life. When it's cluttered and disorganized, I am usually feeling lost or overwhelmed. When it's clean and tidy, I am usually feeling content and at peace. For times like tonight -- when all I want to do is paint the walls and throw out all my furniture and begin again -- I feel like renovating my life. Removing the unnecessary things and retaining only what makes sense. De-cluttering my room is equivalent to releasing emotional baggage. What's the tell for you that your spiritual life is off track? How do you rectify the issue? As for me, the makeover starts now. Pow3rful in Him,Chris
