Spring Cleaning Challenge - Day 25& 26, Rugs and Floors

I am breaking loose from the list and combining today and tomorrow's task. They are simple and who doesn't love a long weekend!! Today you will be washing your bathroom rugs and scrubbing the floors as well. If this combining of days doesn't suit you, then feel free to stick with the protocol.

CHALLENGE:
Shake those bathroom rugs out and throw them in the wash. If you have a line to dry them on it's always better to let them drip dry rather then machine drying the life out of them. Next, go back and move everything possible off of the bathroom floor and sweep! Grab your handy bucket of warm water vinegar and soap, grab a scrub brush and a rag and make it sparkle! You are probably a pro at this now and guess what?! This should be your last floor to scrub. (unless you have wood floors in your bedroom...don't make me drool!)

Enjoy your weekend! And don't forget to meet me back here Monday, so we can finish off with the bedrooms! Only 3 days of cleaning next week!

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?
