So I have tried to adopt a somewhat normal cleaning schedule since I have become a part time worker and full time nothing else. As much as I sincerely hate spending my time doing things such as scrubbing a bathtub or ironing I definitely find a sense of satisfaction once all of my tasks are completed.
On the other hand, I do get a bit discouraged when I focus more on cleaning my house and worrying about it's appearance than I do the appearance of my witness to people who do not know Christ. I guess these subjects may not really parallel but I have, in my thoughts, connected them somehow. As I vacuumed today and thought about how much more it feels like I work at maintaining my home than I do my relationship with Christ these thoughts hit me like a ton of bricks...

she has great ideas and online support. Believe me, we all need motivation to keep it clean, But remember a clean house is a clean mind. At least thats what my granny told me :)
