I was at a point in time where everything was out of control!  I was feeling so overwhelmed and lost and clueless as to how and where to start to move forward.  Sheena offered to come and help me tackle some of my "visual clutter".  She ended up helping with more than that...

I was so ashamed of the state my home had become, and never invited people over (which broke my heart because we loved to host and feed people) but I just couldn't let people see.  The shame was overwhelming. 

I humbled myself enough to accept her offer for help.  It was SO hard!  But I was desperate for a change.

She never made me feel judged. She encouraged. She asked questions. She prayed with me before each time. She helped me.

I asked to start with my bedroom of all places.  It was SO hard!  But she never made me feel bad.  One item at a time...  One drawer... One box...  All the while gentle, kind, firm, encouraging...  Celebrating each win like it was her own!  It made me want to keep going.  And when I didn't want to or she saw I was done for the day, no judgement, no pressure.  Just encouragement.   Progress was made!  

We moved onto several more rooms.  And although progress on the clutter was certainly made, there was so much more that I was not expecting.  I realized how being vulnerable and letting someone into my "mess" wasn't a bad thing.  It was scary, but good.  It shone a light into what was a dark place in my life and allowed God to show me how letting others in is an opporportunity for me to be a blessing to them too. 

To summerize,  the experience was exhausting, emotional, humbling, fun, amazing, difficult, exciting...and a blessing!

Thank you Sheena!
