simplicity.

I need more simplicity in my life. That is to say, I need less complexity in my life. I need less things and more people. I need more time and less distractions. I need more of God's word and less of the world. I need more wonder and less sarcasm. I need to talk less, and say more. Because Jesus was simple, and his love and grace are very straightforward.

Thoughts inspired by Josh White's "Why Simplicity?"

Thanks, Mai! It's definitely easier said than done, there are so many distractions for us in the world!

i LOVE all that this implies and states. Because it is the cry of my soul. I thirst for more simplicity. Especially in my desires. If I could simply desire Christ and be satisfied. love it.

thank you for sharing these life changing words. Something I've been striving for, for years and you've captured it so perfectly. I've written it down and it is now what I start my day with- and come back to anytime I'm feeling overwhelmed-
