I don't remember the last time I watered my plants. (they don't either, I'm guessing, by the looks of their curled up dry leaves).
My kitchen floor is half chipboard, half plywood, and it will be like that indefinitely.
My kitchen sink is stuffed with dirty dishes. (we won't talk about the countertops)
my kitchen table didn't get wiped down after dinner last night. (Or breakfast, or lunch, for that matter.)
my bathroom shower has been in the process of being cleaned for 24 hours now, thanks to my children and their amazing ability to need me right when I'm back at it.
my laundry has been in the process of being done for 3 days. It's not looking good for getting done today.
We (luke and I) have been challenged to think through the most important issues in life, church, and relationships...and are reminded that it's iron that sharpens iron...not anything soft and cuddly.
my yard needs raked (AGAIN).
We've had 3 dr. appointments this week, and more in the near future, with no conclusions found. (lets don't even talk about the money that goes along with that)
my son has decided the mom's voice is un-hearable, and therefore, he can do as he pleases.
and the rest of my house isn't much better than the previous list.
And I don't know when my inlaws are getting here. (hopefully after I get done procrastinating, and get this place back in order!)
However. I will remember what Pastor Gary preached about on Sunday and CHOOSE to "Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in ALL circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
Amen. I'm so thankful to have a God that tells us to be joyful, give thanks, etc...instead of telling us to look to ourselves for our strength, look out for #1, and bask in our own woes and worries... I'd be so miserable.
