Mutiny Month One- Clothing

If you haven't read an earlier post titled, "The Freedom You Find When You Leave Things Behind" then click here first!

Here is how our first month went... 

1 - the number of days per week that I used to do laundry

2 - the number of buttons I lost on my dress shorts

3 - the number of times we made an exception

4 - the number of shirts we had to choose from each morning

5 - the number of times I wore the same thing two days in a row

6 - the number of people on the “waiting list” to read the book that started this journey

7 - the number of items of clothing I could go through in one day in the past

8 - the number of times I wish I had a cozy sweatshirt

9 - the number of days our dryer worked this month (irony?)

…and finally the “magic” number…

10 - the number of items of clothing we chose to wear for one month

In a little nut shell, that was the month of August for us - our first month of “an experimental mutiny against excess”.

So where is that journey leading us now? 

Well into a Month of Media Mutiny…

* (we will respond to a sent message, but we will go back to the “old fashion” phone call or face to face communication this month)

So, while I haven’t done a very good job sharing this month of all the ways we have seen God’s wonderous love... I will be journaling this month and can’t wait to share in October where He is leading us!

Thanks for reading! If you are interested in knowing more –
