What do I do with my stuff????

Today once again I am reminded of "change". So many times throughout my day I hear about change...how do we change this....a co-worker's attitude....a process at work that simply does not work....a computer system that refuses to cooperate....how do I embrace change....in myself....and in others??? And when I judge others by my concepts of what change is....what does that make me? So I am creating behavior in others that I believe to be acceptable....by trying to change them....and still here I am....desiring change in myself so desperately....and wanting that same life giving...life changing.....life fullfilling change for others. And bottom line I am ready....but I am just not sure what ready looks like. I am wanting to quit my job.....move to some inner city somewhere and just live off the land....but not yet....because here in this place.....we are planted...at our church....we have something to learn....here....somehow...here....but in the end....at the end of me...which I don't think I have come to understand my limits...my outer boundaries...my silent space if you will.....the end of me....is a place that has forsaken this world for another one...someone who wants to simplify her life...not be a part of this consumerist society that says...one more thing...a new TV...a nicer car...more stuff....I think my whole life I have been getting rid of stuff just to buy more stuff....how does one stop the cycle???? There has to be more to life than stuff.....hmm...definitely something to think about....how much stuff do I have that I don't need....but better yet.....how do I go about simplifying my life.....not just with stuff...but with time...with silence....with listening....with learning....
