Clutter has a voice. It screams at you, demanding your attention, drowning out everything elseโincluding God's gentle whisper. ๐คซ
I've stood in doorways with clients who were so overwhelmed they couldn't even take the first step. One woman told me through tears, "Eileen, I can't even pray in my home anymoreโthe mess distracts me every time I try to connect with God."
This isn't about perfect kitchen counters or Instagram-worthy closets. This is about creating space in your home where God's peace can dwellโwhere relationships can flourish, and where you can finally hear His voice clearly again.
In this episode, I'm answering the question I hear most often: "Where do I start organizing when there's absolutely NO place to start?" I'm not here with a quick fix or to shame you for your mess. I'm here with gentle, practical guidance rooted in Scripture and years of ministry experience.
What You'll Discover:
โ
Why taking a photo of your cluttered space helps you see it with fresh eyes
โ
My simple "paper towel roll technique" that makes any overwhelming space manageable
โ
The four-box system that eliminates decision fatigue (especially the "Blessing Box" that transforms your excess into ministry)
โ
Why 15-minute sessions with praise music bring more lasting change than exhausting weekend decluttering marathons
Scripture tells us "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30). While John the Baptist was talking about ministry, this principle applies beautifully to our homes too. When we decrease our excess, we create room for God's presence to increase in our lives.
One of my clients, Sheila, realized: "I must decrease my junk that He might shine out in the spaciousness of a home dedicated to His glory." Her powerful testimony shows how physical order created space for spiritual purpose and authentic relationships.
This is Not About Minimalism
If you're worried I'm going to tell you to get rid of everythingโdon't be! I explain why biblical "simple living" is different from worldly minimalism. You'll discover the concept of "just enough" that honors both God's generous provision and our responsibility to be good stewards.
Your First Step Before Touching Anything
Before you pick up a single item, ask yourself: "Why now? What's changed that makes me want to organize TODAY?" Understanding your motivation is the foundation for lasting transformation. One woman realized her clutter was keeping her isolated from both God and othersโthat powerful "why" fueled her entire journey.
God is not a God of fear or shame. He's a God of order and peace. And where there is order, there is the peace of God.
For Those Who've Tried and Failed Before
If you've attempted organization before but couldn't maintain it, I explain why most approaches fail. It's not because you lack disciplineโit's often because you're swimming upstream without community support or trying to do too much at once.
Remember, what we do on earth matters. How we respect and honor the things God has blessed us with will impact our eternal responsibilities when we see Him face to face. Organization isn't just about cleaner countertopsโit's about creating space for your God-given purpose to flourish.
