If your like me (post college/grad school)… you may find yourself surrounded by stuff. Before I started TentLife, I would look around my living space and think, “Where did all this stuff come from?” Lamps, dvd’s, magazines, books, vases, clothes, cd’s, bikes, snowboards, longboards, outdoor gear, scarves, hats, shoes, mantle decorations, wall decorations, musical instruments, textbooks, rice steamer, George Foreman grill, old school work, et cetera…
It seems that the more that I have, the more I need. When the complexities of life come full steam then I notice that the contentment seems to fade away. For the past several days I have woken up feeling dull, bored, and lifeless. Life has become too easy – the risk, the thrill, and sometimes the misery is gone. Looking back on my tent days it seems that everyday had a little bit more excitement…
So. Last night was one of those tough nights for me out at TentLife. I spent part of the weekend house sitting/horse sitting… and crashed back at the tent late Saturday night. Sunday came early and after church I got back to the tent with no plans, just a lot of nothing…
During the spring semester of my junior year of college I decided that life had become far too complicated. My schedule was slammed, the storage space in my apartment was over flowing, and I felt like I couldn’t keep up with myself. Something had to change. I needed to simplify.
About that same time I came across Acts 2:45 in my studies which reads, “selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.”
