I Hate Guilt {a word from Sarah Mae}
October 14, 2011 By
Guilt. It can wreck a soul. It can confuse, and halt life. Guilt throws a wrench in the sane mind. I’m talking about the guilt that comes from not having faith. False guilt. The guilt that weighs chaos on your spirit. If you know God and you believe in and follow Jesus, then false guilt [...]
Day 31 ~ Balancing It All {31 Days to Clean}
October 13, 2011 By
When I think of balancing it all, I usually think of having each part of my life sorted neatly in a box. I envision floating effortlessly between tasks while my family enjoys smooth sailing. As you know, this smooth sailing doesn’t happen all too often, and when it does, it only lasts a short while. [...]
Day 30 ~ Contentment in Your Season of Life
October 12, 2011 By
There are times in my life when I get distracted. I start looking around instead of up. I allow my head to be turned by what others have or the media tells me I should want instead of looking at God and what He has given me. Those are the times when I feel discontented: [...]
Day 29 ~ To Hire Help, Or Not To Hire Help {31 Days to Clean}
October 11, 2011 By
The Blessing of Bartering I am one of those ladies who have been known to hire help when it comes to cleaning my house. There is a sweet lady at my church who God has blessed with the gift of cleaning. She can take anything, no matter how nasty and grungy it is, and really [...]
Day 28 ~ Who Are You Trying To Please? {31 Days to Clean}
October 10, 2011 By
I’m a pretty self-conscious runner. In fact, I don’t even like saying that because I am not a runner. Every time I run, I’m extremely aware of what people are thinking about me. And we all know, that if we’re too busy looking around to see what people think about us while we run, we [...]
Day 27 ~ Becoming Friends With Goodwill {31 Days to Clean}
October 7, 2011 By
I like stuff. All kinds of stuff. Craft stuff, cooking stuff, teaching stuff and any other kind of stuff I might need or use one day. The problem with my love of stuff is that I don’t like clutter. It’s inevitable, the more stuff you have the more clutter it makes and the more space [...]
Day 26 ~ Laundry {31 Days to Clean}
October 6, 2011 By
Laundry. It’s always here. No matter how many times it gets washed, dried, folded and put away, the piles of clothing come back again and again. So what’s a wife/mother to do? Find ways to at least manage the beast as long as we know it has to be dealt with. Now I am not [...]
Day 25 ~ The High-Low Cycle {31 Days to Clean}
October 5, 2011 By
So, let’s be real, because that’s the only way I know how to be. I get on a cleaning high 1 or 2 days a week, tops. The rest of the week? I’m dragging my feet. I lack motivation, inspiration, determination. Source: squidoo.com via Kristin on Pinterest It takes much more than motivation, inspiration, [...]
