What to give and what to take?

Today, I have been sorting through clothes. Over the years, as many women do, I have collected a lot of clothes. The problem being... I like them all :-)
Todays project- get rid of some more.
I did this same task about 3 months ago and it went pretty good. I had a "Mom-bag" "Kate-bag" and "Goodwill bag"
Today, not so easy. 3 months ago it was easy to get rid of the things that I haven't worn in a year or so, but today my thoughts- I like all my clothes :-)
After self-talking about where I place my treasure, I compiled more bags to give away. I feel quite successful and satisfied with my clothing left... BUT I know in about a month another sweep will have to be made. What will make the final cut?? After all, I only can have 50 pounds.
Matthew 6:21- For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

  1. Hey there new team-mates. We're excited for you guys to join us in Hengyang. A word on clothing: we don't have dryers here, so I like to give my clothes the no dryer test: if the clothing needs the dryer to keep its shape, then it's a no go for me.
