Why Your System May Not Be Working | CLUTTER FREE JANUARY COLLAB | Week 3: Paper
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 01. 2021
- I have tried SOOOOOO many systems…good systems…easy systems…so many systems. They never seem to work. I’ve come to realize that there are a few barriers that can stand in our way when it comes to sticking with a system. I’ve also learned that if I am not securely anchored in the eternal timeline, I can easily get swept away in the drain that is “what if?”
Join me, and many of your favorite (and maybe a few you haven’t met) CZcamsrs as we embrace this CLUTTER FREE JANUARY COLLABORATION put together by Dawn at The Minimal Mom.
We are talking PAPER CLUTTER this week, be sure to check out the playlist.

I just happened to land on your channel.. all I can say is Amen!! My daughter wants to declutter our house and this is a little overwhelming for me since I am a sentimental hoarder! You definitely motivate me to start and bring the Lord into it. So thank you I will continue watching just subscribed and can't wait to see other videos!
This is an excellent point. Sometimes we just need to trust that it’s going to be okay, rather than maintain a crippling fear that we’re going to destroy our lives by shredding a piece of paper.
Hard lesson to learn. But, a skill we can sharpen over time. 😊
"At the end of the day it really doesn't matter what we keep or discard. God is sovereign." 👌🏻
Amen!
Gosh Marybeth, I just LOVE the truth you bring to simplifying and decluttering! I looooove how you always point us back to Jesus! THANK YOU for making these videos!!
Thank you Emily, that’s so sweet!
I just started watching you recently. I really needed to hear this today. God is so good to give me this on this day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I’m so glad you tackled the mindset and that “paper isn’t always just paper” for your video on the playlist.
I’m glad too! Sometimes this is as much for my processing as it is for everyone else. 😂🤣😂
Who would have known that a decluttering video would speak to me on a deeper level. Struggling with other things and what you shared really spoke to my situation. Thank you!
I’m so glad you found it helpful! I’ve discovered that decluttering was sooooooo much more than just stuff. ☺️
I love you bringing Scripture into this video (too) Thanks for giving us an eternal perspective!
Awesome truth spoken over a guilt prone area! 💕
A surprisingly different and profound way to look at paper clutter. Thank you.
You are so well-spoken. Thanks for sharing a message we often forget!
That is so encouraging! Thank you! ☺️
Such a great reminder for me regarding having great wealth and not accessing it. I have great riches in Christ. Time to access ❤️
🥰
What a liberating concept: Nothing I do (or throw away) will thwart God's plan. Needed to hear this today! It seems at first glance that it goes against the teachings to be good stewards of our money, but I dont think it really does. I'm definitely gonna be pondering this today 🙂
I think we can do both. 😁 it’s all about balance. Stewarding Gods gifts...and passing along things that keep us from fully resting in Him.
Thank you for reminding where our hope is. I love how you share God and help for our everyday life.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
The mixed clutter boxes are a real struggle! I'm doing the Take Your House Back course and ended up digging through most of my mixed clutter this week. Sorting papers is hard work!
I have been doing the course too and have loved it! I had so much "mixed clutter" in the beginning I didn't have much of a choice but to just plow through those things. Keep fighting the good fight!
Relying less on ourselves and looking to God. Amen!
Easier said than done....but not impossible. 😁
My husband and I adopted two children with special needs and I can SO relate to what you said about paper not being just paper! We have had to use so much paper to advocate for disability benefits and special therapies for our kids. So tossing out paper that might be evidence for a future appeal causes so much anxiety for me. However, you’re right, in the end we have to just make a reasonable effort and keep our trust in Jesus.
Amen friend! I totally understand. Even when we “have” to hang on to stuff we end up finding a balance. Keep up the good work!
You had me at the opening monologue! I have no less than 3 boxes/totes of paper that I needed to stash away and have yet to go through. But it was talking about the issues behind the paper that really resonated with me. What you’re adoption and school papers are to you, my Mom’s medical papers from her short bout with cancer are to me. I faithfully kept notes and all the many, many pieces of paper. They’re very different examples, but I understand. (I’m not ready to deal with that set of papers yet, but your words were hopeful. Thank you.)
I can understand that. Some things need a little extra time.
Your words are freedom. I love that you incorporate Christ into everything you do and talk about. A wonderful encouragement. I wish i could like each video 10 times.
On a side note, do keep the IEPs. (Which Im sure you know) As a former special education teacher the legal aspect of an IEP is huge...however you can request a copy at anytime if you lose it or really for whatever reason...and you may also request a new meeting whenever you wish and however often you find necessary.
Thank you! I have an entire drawer in our filing cabinet devoted to IEP’s, I just can’t seem to part with them. ☺️ the coupon from 2017....that I can let go of. 😂
I was just getting ready to say this when I saw this comment. I’m a retired special educator and I would suggest you just need to keep the prior year’s IEP and your current one. You can as Zmommy said, request a copy of any IEP, anytime. I would encourage you to think about how often you have needed an IEP that is 2 years old or older and let that guide your decisions. Don’t let this drag you down! Best of luck to you.
Fantastic insight! Thank you for sharing! Blessings xx
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have watched all the paper playlists on here and yours was one of my favorites. Happy to join your channel🌷
Thanks so much 😊 I'm so glad your here!
I hear ya on the IEPs. Both of my kids have them and I keep them all for the same reasons you mentioned. It's good to hear that I'm not the only one. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for also talking about where our hope is truly found. ❤️
I love your channel. You are so helpful. Thank you so much for doing these videos.
Your intro - learning to apply God's truth to every day life - is so important. It's the best reminder to start every day and every activity.
I'm so glad you found us! It's so easy to feel like our faith is a separate thing from the day to day.....but it's so not!
This is so perfect. You spoke to my heart. Thank you.
Thank you for this needed encouragement today!
"Circling the drain of 'what if'." I'ma just let that sink in for a while 🤔🤔🤯🤯
Thank you for sharing your faith!!
Thank you so much. This was really helpful!
Paper is definitely one of those types of items that tends to pile up all too quickly! Getting on the same page with your spouse regarding paper clutter definitely helps!
It really is! And you've never think that where the mail goes when it comes into the house would be an issue of marital discord....and yet. LOL
I needed to hear this today. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
I watched your video because you are in the Clutter-Free January line up. I want to tell you, from one mom of and IEP kiddo to another, you're not wrong about keeping detailed information about your kid's IEP's. We actually ended up having to sue the school district we were in to get my son put into a special ed school. After TRYing to work with the school, what felt like millions of IEP's (Really - at one point we had NINE in ONE month!), and my 3rd grade son asking me to kill him...I gathered "evidence" of all we were going through and presented 400 pieces of paper therapists evaluations, unmet IEP goals, letters to and from teachers and officials in the school district, ALL school meeting notes...on and on, to our lawyer. After TWO years of us begging for 'an appropriate education' to meet his needs, the school presented 20 pages of 'evidence'. Our lawyer whittled down ours to 150 pages for the judge. The school settled the next day. Fast forward to his mid-twenties, we had to PROVE to Social Security that he was disabled. More years of evaluation and court hearings, and pulling grade school evaluations out to show history... It took 3 more years to prove he is disabled. I only have one box of 'his old evidence' now; he's 40. It's marked for him - or his 3 brothers to help him, when I'm gone. I won't be subscribing to your channel because I'm not fond of being told about the bible when I've come for other information, just not my cup of tea. But, I really do wish you well and best of luck with your boys. :-)
You sound like an amazing person. It saddens my heart that you don't want to hear how God loves you and can help you more than any man made system or thing. I admire your honesty.
You are truly magnificent Marybeth - wonderful video 🙏🏽💞💖
You’re so sweet friend. Thank you!
Great video :) So glad I found you from this decluttering challenge. I have subscribed.
Welcome! So glad you are here!
its good ideas thanks for sharing
thank you!
IDP IEP? I don't know what those are.
It’s an individualized education plan. It allows our kiddos to receive special education services...among other things. ☺️
you have the best voice for vid. First time watcher
Thanks! 🥰
Um... what’s an IEP??
Individual Educational Pla.
That went from organizing tips to preachy Jesus stuff real quick.
I love this! Thank you for sharing!
My name is Paige and I have started a podcast about foster care. I would love to interview you about minimalism and how that plays into foster care! Let me know if this is something you would be interested in.
Hey Paige, you can email me at McGee.atwhatcost@gmail.com let me know what you have in mind. ☺️
