A Day in the Life

Greetings!

Although I love the weekends...this weekend left me exhausted! I always try to give you something meaningful...even spiritual. But, this week I'm just giving you a day in the life...

It started with me attempting to clean my house. I have been busy for the last couple of weekends and I wanted to get some things done around the house. Let me just say that nothing went as planned. I wanted to start with my bedroom and work my way out to the rest of the house...that didn't happen...sigh.

First, I got up late. Then, of course I had to eat breakfast. Once I got started, it took me at least two hours to dust and rearrange the drawers in my dresser. My husband was afraid that I would throw out all of his stuff, so he wouldn't leave the bedroom and spent I don't know how long going through the two drawers in his nightstand (Don't ask). The next thing I know...he was taking a nap....ugh.

When I was finally done with the whole drawer thing, I started working on my closet. What a disaster. My husband and I share a closet (which is just painful to say the least). So, I am always trying to make things fit. It had to take me a couple of hours of picking up, hanging up and just plain old giving up before I moved on to making up the bed and dusting the floor. By the time I was done with the bedroom, I didn't have enough energy to do much else. And the bedroom looked pretty much like it did before I got started.

God did actually show me something in that whole process. He showed me that even though the room looked the same, all of the stuff that was hidden away was no longer there. Before, it appeared to be clean, but there were things hidden away out of sight that I had not been dealing with. God showed me that sometimes life is going to get messy just like that, but that everything serves a purpose. And He showed me that even in the ordinary things of life, He will always be there to strengthen us along the way.

Until next time...

Be blessed
