The other day, I was reading a bible plan on YouVersion entitled “Less Clutter, More Life” by Bob Lotch. In the reading, I found “minimalism” defined as “the intentional promotion of the things we most value and the removal of anything that distracts us from it.” by Joshua Becker. Bob said that if our walk with Jesus is the thing that we value most, then maybe we should be focusing on removing things in our lives that are distracting us from following Him. I’ve been a professional organizer for many years, but I had never looked at minimalism is this way before. I often told my clients that I didn’t support the idea of minimalism in this culture, because I always thought of it as owning a certain number of items and living in a tiny house. However, I must say that now my perspective has changed drastically.
