I believe it’s true that we only have one life to live. So what holds us back from making it the best life we can?
I have always struggled with keeping my house clean, it wasn’t so bad when it was just me and my things to keep up with but after marrying a fellow “messie” it became a big problem! This accounting for most of the arguments in our marriage the past 4 years. I am just plane lazy and I HATE to clean, whats the point if you have to do it again the next week?! Well the other week I wrote down a list of everything that needed to be cleaned or organized in my house and I got down to it. It wasn’t fun and it was pretty dirty and took up most of the week, but the next week when I got back to my list I found it so much easier to clean having just been done the week before (instead of lets say a month or so before!). Now that I have my days mapped out as to what needs to be taken care of, I find it easier to enjoy my down time not having that nagging thought in the back of my head of a million things that need to be taken care of. They say those nagging thoughts can add years to your life and actually age you!
This has all been done in an effort to live a better life and become a better me. I fell off the “wagon” this past week with painters and our carpet being laid but was excited to get things back in order. Then the power went out for more than 24 hours and now it’s already Thursday and not much is clean. Come tomorrow I will be ready to get things back on track, with my little helper by my side.
This is my life and I will become the person I want to, because I know it’s who God wants me to be and who my family deserves to have.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!”
