Spring Cleaning Challenge- Day 24, Toilets

O the porcelain throne! You knew it would come around eventually! You've probably heard it said that your toilet is cleaner then the human mouth...so how bad could it be, right?
Spring cleaning was dragging a lot the first week, I was so busy trying to keep up with everything, then something happened and everything fell into place and stuff just happened, the cleaning was getting done. But now I'm hitting that "I just wish I was done" stage. And guess what?! We are almost done! 5 more cleaning days and your house will be sparkling clean and you will have some extra time in your day once again! Keep up the good work!

CHALLENGE:
Clean the toilet, inside and out. Use whatever cleaning supplies you feel comfortable with. Clean everything you can get to on the toilet, this includes the outside of the bowl, the flat spaces where the toilet bolts into the floor, and of course everything that hinges. There are some really amazing blog posts out there about how to clean your toilet step by step. My favorite ones tell you how to drip dry the toilet brush. (toilet brushes are definitely NOT cleaner than my mouth!) Look up a step by step process and see how quickly you can finish multiple bathrooms!

Is it warm and springy where you live? Have you gone to the park yet? What are some of your favorite outdoor activities for Spring and Summer?

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?
