We’re coming up close to our go-live date and I think I’m having mixed feelings about this journey :) When first reading the book, I knew this was something I was feeling the urge to do, something I needed to jump into! And overall, I’m extremely excited. I’m definitely feeling the need to get rid of the clutter in my life – both physically and spiritually, as this experiment lends to. I also am anticipating, though, that this will leave things wide open to pinpoint areas of hypocrisy in my life – spots where I believe in the importance of these things, but continue to turn the other way and leave it for someone else to handle. So I think it’s going to be an adventure. A necessary and very interesting one! So my prayer (and I’ll take any and all offers of prayer on our behalf for those following our journey!) at this point is that these changes make a lasting impact on our lives, continuing past even the end of month 7.
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” – Matthew 6:19-21

Side note: Just started doing some research, and found several sites about where one can buy local/organic/join csa's/etc in Fargo. Yay!
