The Personal Approach to Organization 

Guest Writer: Compose Your Space

Peace, Passion & Productivity

Organization is a topic of conversation throughout the country and likely the globe. This morning I Googled “home organization” and 5,330,000,000 selections appeared before my eyes. Wow! That’s a lot of informationto absorb! Why is organization flooding social media, big box stores, and our conversations; and, how should Christians respond? Let’s explore together.

Each of us have earthly treasures. Items that bring us joy, evoke powerful memories, and things we utilize regularly as part of life. Stuff is consumable, right? Stuff deteriorates. Our cars break down. Our clothes get holes in them or “shrink” in the laundry. The cushions in our furniture wear out. The pictures we took in the past and the film we had “developed” are placed in an album or a box and then on a shelf collecting dust. The clothes we wore might even be placed in a box and stored for future use “when we get back to that size.” Sound familiar? We all struggle with stuff and our stuff can become clutter.

Clutter becomes an issue when it distracts us, when our time, talent, and treasure is consumed by the clutter in our home, at our office, or even in our minds. Matthew 6:24 states “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.” Continuing on in Matthew 6 to the end of the chapter the word reads “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather crops into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more important than they? And which of you by worrying can add a single day to his life’s span? And why are you worried about clothing? Notice how the lilies of the field grow; they do not labor nor do they spin thread for cloth, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What are we to drink?’ or ‘What are we to wear for clothing?’ For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you.

So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

If you believe clutter is distracting you from the important things, spiritual treasures, here are some tips and tricks to bring you back into alignment and focusing in those treasures that moth cannot destroy nor thieves can steal (Matthew 6:19).

Things to Consider on Your Journey

  • Consider Your Flow: what does your everyday look like? How do you feel when you walk into the space you are considering organizing. What is Working? What isn’t Working?
  • Write it Down: As you think about ways to solve the issues, write it down. What parts of the space do you like? Why do you like it? Ease? Comfort? Why do you not like it? Does it take too much time? Etc.
  • House things where you use them.
  • Place Like Items Together and ask yourself “do I have space for all of these things I want to keep?”
  • What aesthetic do you envision? Should I use plastics or eco friendly products? Do I want to see things or hide things? What about labels? What is your budget?
  • Evaluate: if your process is working or not and maybe have to tweak…. Sometimes it takes a couple of times to see what works well…it’s trial and error.
  • Maintaining of the space. What does it look like?
  • Buy in from the rest of your family or team.
  • Everything needs a place…put stuff if place and see if it is going to work there before you buy stuff and then buy containers.
  • If you get stuck as for help to be a second set of eyes. Sometimes you look at something for so long and you can’t see another solution.
  • Don’t Stop… move on to the next project and use your momentum.
  • Create a vision board.

Hi, I'm Lenya Heitzig, founder of Sheologie where we encourage women to step boldly into their God-given calling. Whether that’s at home, in the workplace, the church, or wherever God leads, we believe your influence matters.

There is an undeniable art to being female. And I want to personally invite you into something very close to my heart: Sheologie. At its core, Sheologie is a movement of women choosing to live fully alive in Christ. It's a space where your soul can breathe again. A space where we encounter the living God in ways that ignite a holy passion to transform our everything.

Sheologie was born from a desire to create a place where women from all walks of life can encounter truth, beauty, and purpose. Whether you’re searching or struggling, healing, or celebrating, we want you to know that you belong here. We believe that God has written something sacred over your life. And we’re here to help you uncover it.

So, what does Sheologie offer? We host Bible studies that dig deep into God's Word paired with breakthrough groups, so you never have to walk alone. Our seasonal events are designed to refresh your spirit.

We show up with purpose on social media to be a light in the scroll, offering truth and beauty in a place that often feels dark. And we'll send you a weekly devo to help you pause, refocus, and lean into God's presence.

There's always space here for worship, laughter, healing, and restoration. No judgment, no performance. Only Jesus.

We've seen lives changed. Marriages restored. Healing begin. Friendships formed. Purpose awakened. That's the power of community. That's the power of God's Word. And that's the heartbeat of Sheologie.

So, if you're wondering if there's a place for you, there is. If your heart's been whispering "there has to be more", you're right. If you’re ready to become all God created you to be, this is your moment. Come with your questions. Come with your faith, or your doubt. Come with your whole, beautiful story. There’s a seat for you. There’s a sisterhood waiting. There's a God already calling you closer. And here at Sheologie, we can't wait to walk with you.
