Here is an excerpt from a book I recently read, "The Minimalist Home: A Room-by-Room Guide to a Decluttered, Refocused Life," by Joshua Becker.
After minimizing, Chris and Dana felt called to adopt a Guatemalan girl. Adding Mackenzie to the family has been a wonderful blessing and they can’t imagine their lives without her. She is a beloved daughter and a full participant in their adventuring lifestyle.
Shortly after the adoption, Dana and Chris discovered a passion to serve others overseas. In order to pursue that passion, they sold off even more things—all they had, in fact.
Dana described it. “At the age of twenty-seven, we held an estate sale and sold everything. People would walk up to the estate sale and ask us who died. We’d just smile. Nobody had died, except maybe our former selves.”
Over the next two years, Dana and Chris would work in ten different countries, becoming pioneers in the online church movement.
