Shameless then Tidy with Dana K White

Dana K White, the creator of A Slob Comes Clean, and author of many books on how to go from chaotic and cluttered brings such a unique perspective to Episode 126 of the Restoriaton Home.

At the core of her message is the gospel truth that being clean and tidy doesn't bring you any closer to God, and being messy and chaotic doesn't push you farther away from Him. As Dana says: this isn't an excuse to have a messy house, but it should remove shame and remind us that nothing we do or don't do can add or detract from God's love for us and presence in our lives.

As we deal with the shame around whatever perceived lack we are operating in, we can begin to build those small habits and changes that will transform our external world to be more orderly, peaceable, and pleasant to be in. Dana's website, books, and Instagram are full of simple, gentle ways to start transforming your life one small piece at a time.

God is not in a rush with our process and neither should we be.
