Less Stuff…More Him

Welcome! Have you subscribed to this blog yet? I encourage you to do so-it will be delivered straight to your email! Subscribe here!

The amount of time spent on acquiring stuff is great.

We research, we shop, we spend.
Spend, spend, spend.

Imagine that much effort was spent in the Word!
Praying. Communing with Him. Serving Him.

Life would be different. We would be changed.

Less stuff means more time for so much more.
The real stuff. Not the false fillers. Not the temporary fulfillment.

I am so looking forward to our RV trip. Its not a time to acquire stuff but to shed it. {we only have 30 ft for 6 people!} It’s not a time to chase the wind, but to stop and be still in it. Its not a time to put ourselves first, but others. {back to the 30ft thing 😉

In a world that screams bigger, better, more…and all for yourself,
I continue to whisper…smaller, less, and others first.

Sometimes I feel so out of place for those desires, yet when I write and speak others respond. Do you feel that way? Do you feel like having less stuff and more of Him? Having less *stuff* and doing more *things*?

Lord, hear my whisper and make it my life…

RV Trip Plans…

This summer as many of you know, we are embarking on what has been a dream in our family for a long time. We are finally hitting the road in an RV! Through a unique set of circumsntance, we will be finding ourselves traveling from New Jersey down to Florida, and back again within a period of 3.5 weeks.

Part of the reason we have been drawn to the RV trip is the simplicity. We want to experience this beautiful country of ours, without fancy entertainment or distractions. I am looking forward ot the family time and being on our own schedule- free to go wherever our hearts take us each day.

I also am looking forward to the small quarters, if that makes sense; I am ready to leave the house behind and just have each other. While I am anitcipating meltodwns, tension, and who knows what else, I know it will give us unique memories.

Most importantly this trip will bring us closer to God.

When all else is stripped away, we can fully rely on Him.

When the distractions of the world and the busyness are distant, we see Him more clearly. When we have those moments of tension, we are forced to run to Him. When we awaken in His Creation, we will be able to fully worship Him without hinderance. I can’t wait.

I plan on blogging the journey. I plan on sharing the nitty gritty, so stay tuned. Follow us on our adventure. Make sure you are subscribed here or via facebook and twitter.

My talented hubby is also planing on filming the entire thing, and hopes to make a documentary after we return about our experience. So be sure to follow us…the good, the bad, and the ugly will be shared. But most of all, praying for life changes as we pursue Simply Living…for Him.

Simply Living for Him Hits the Road

We are hitting the road this summer for our family’s dream RV trip. We will be traveling from New Jersey to meet family in Florida. On our way, we are hoping to see sites, live simply, and love much!

I also want to take this opportunity to gain some more speaking engagements. I am looking to visit churches, mom’s groups, homeschool groups-anything!

I’d love to meet my dear readers and encourage your group. Please email me at karen {at} simplylivingforhim {dot} com.

It is my passion to encourage others!

We are documenting our journey on the road, because my super talented hubby, and his company, Farmhuas Studios, wants to turn it into a small documentary.
See some of his previous work here:

I hope to meet some of you out there- looking forward to hearing from you!!!
