Half & prayers needed please!
HALF OF WHAT? Half.com -- my new place to help me simplify our lives. I will just say it this way-- we have a lot of "stuff"- it's sad to me how much we have aquired in our short 30+ years of life. Between both of us we have held onto things that we just don't need.
Last time we moved I still was not healthy--so while i went through all of our stuff and donated a LOT (or so I thought) to Goodwill... there seems to be more.
They say you grow into what ever space you have and love it or leave it-- in our house now we have a basement-- which we have "put to good use"--- meaning we are on our way to filling it. Mind out we both have a "work area" down there- and the laundry room and storage room is down there- but between the basement and the guest room we have two perfect places to help us "forget" about how much stuff we have.
Sooooo-- again (see I told you I was going to be really good this year about new years resolutions) we are trying to simplify. So off to half.com to sell our books (mostly my youth ministry books), DVD's/VHS tapes, CD's. We will see how this goes-- I might venture to ebay and see what they have to offer. (Don't worry Dad- I am not getting rid of your books that we have). I figure that even if we don't get a lot for the books- it's more than what we get from them sitting in our basement.
What I don't need half of is your prayers-- I need all of them. Please pray for my grandma (Mimi) who is recovering in the hospital from pneumonia (discovered accidently when she went in cause she fell- they discovered she had double pneumonia). Just as it seemed to be getting better her heart started to go into fibrillation (she doesn't have a healthy heart to begin with and she is 90 years old). She is a gift to our family and we pray for a quick recovery. We love you Mimi- get better fast- we are praying for you!
An answer to prayer is that my grandpa (dad's side) is doing well after a scare last Sunday when he passed out in church and couldn't be revived. The Dr's weren't able to find any reason to why it happened-- his heart seems to be doing ok-- but we have some questions about what caused it still-- continued prayers for them through this tough time as well!! We love you guys.
That's life in a nutshell right now. Busy- crazy- and attempting to be simplified.

I will pray for you grandma. I know it's hard to see a loved one suffer. My grandpa, now 94, was just in the hospital with Congestive Heart Failure, and is fading fast. Although, I'm not extremely close to him, it's hard to see my grandma struggle to care for him on her own.
Good going for the purging. I was just talking to Kevin about that today, but he said that we don't have any junk to get rid of (Yeah, we'll just see about that). The point is you're staying busy with your New Year's resolutions (something I'm not). Good luck.
