Spring Cleaning Challenge - Day 18 Vacuuming

We are nearing the end of our cushion week. I hope you have enjoyed it. Today you might need some help as we will be moving furniture. We will be vacuuming the living room (and for me the dinning room too) and mopping the dinning room.

CHALLENGE:
Clean the living room and dinning room floors. I have carpet in my dinning room, so I will be vacuuming everything. Most people will probably be mopping the dinning room and vacuuming the living room. You can mop the dinning the same way you did your kitchen. When you vacuum the living room (and whatever is logically attached to it; wether that be an entry way, hallway, etc...) pull out the furniture against the wall and use the hose to vacuum the edges. Also move smaller objects and vacuum under them. Essentially you are trying to vacuum every square foot of carpet.

If you have hard floors all through your living room, give it a good sweep and mop. You will also need to move items to get to all of the floor.

How to Make Your Apartment More Homey - Part 5

Welcome to part 5 of my mini series "How to Make Your Apartment More Homey". Once you get a grasp on the first four topics you've really got something going for you. These last two steps are definitely not the meat of the problem. Today we will focus on - The Color Palette. A little bit of color theory wouldn't hurt anyone. I realize that we are alway feeling the need to try something new and be a little different. It's called fashion, and that's okay. Be different! Make a statement! It's good to try something new. But if it's ugly just say so, don't lie to save your pride. Your pride has already been painted all over that new yellow couch! You can google a basic color wheel and the different ways to pair the colors or most people have an eye for what looks good together. It's usually a good thing to stick with the same hue (bold with bold, or pastels with pastels, and burnt colors with burnt colors) but even that isn't alwa...

Spring Cleaning Challenge Day 6 Psalm 51:10

Welcome to your first day of rest. Tomorrow is Sunday, a day that should be put aside to worship the Lord and to rest your body from physical activity. Each Sunday we will meditate on a verse that reflects having a clean heart. Because we all know that a spotless house doesn't make us truly happy. Only a clean heart can keep a smile on our faces. Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. What does a clean heart look like? Who judges wether the heart is clean or not? Who cares about your heart more than anyone else? Just like we have been pulling out our furniture this week looking for dust bunnies, take a moment to pull out the furniture in your life and look for "Me" bunnies. Search out your heart for selfish things you've tucked away, whether it be a secret, a personal pleasure, a blatant sin, or an old heartache. When you've found them, take them all one by one and lay them out in a straight row in front of...

The Names of God

We are about to start a names of God study in Sunday school, and it reminded me of a poem I wrote many years ago. The Names of God Molder, Creator - Maker of all things. Goodness and mercy to all He brings. Abba, Father - Child of God. Hold my hand through life's facade. Friend, Brother - Always listens to my woe, Takes his sword to kill my foe. Shepherd, Lamb - carer of sheep, Gude me through the water deep. Bearer of the Cross - forgiver of sins, Salvation, on my repentance depends Saviour, Redeemer - lifter of hearts, Shelter and keep me from the world, set apart. Awesome, Almighty - God of all things, Glory and honor and praises I'll sing. What names of God have you studied or reflected on recently? This is a never ending poem, what lines would you add?
