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 God, and ask his forgiveness, ask for guidance, and ask Him to do a Spring Cleaning in your heart.

Never get caught up in the doing of life, (the things that keep us alive, sanitary, and sane) so that you forget the living of life. God is the breath in our life. He is why we are. He is why we do. Your whole world is resting in the palm of His hand, don't fight the one who loves you most.

Read this beautiful hymn written by Mac Lynch:

I came to the Lord with my heart full of sin, 
Empty of purpose and troubled within. 
My flesh had the vict'ry , 
My heart sought release - 
Lord, wilt thou cleanse me and grant me Thy peace?

Create in me a clean heart, my Father; 
Renew a right spirit in me. 
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation;
May Christ be seen in me. 

I cried to the Savior "Forgive me, I pray."
He granted cleansing and sins fell away. 
My bondage was ended, 
My heart was set free; 
Lord never more may I wander from Thee.

Create in me a clean heart, my Father; 
Renew a right spirit in me. 
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation;
May Christ be seen in me.

42 Questions To Ask Your Spouse On Valentine's Day

If you and your spouse were on the Newlywed game show... would you win? My husband and I are going to a couple's retreat next month and decided to get a head start on it by brushing up on our newlywed gameshow questions. We actually did pretty well the first time through, but we keep giving each other pop quizzes to keep the answers fresh in our minds. Below I've made a list of common couples questions that you and your spouse might find fun to ask each other. 1) What is your spouse's all time favorite movie? 2) What would your spouse request as their "last meal"? 3) What is your spouse's favorite pastime? 4) What percentage of housework would your husband say he does? 5) What flavor of cake did you have at your wedding? 6) What is your spouse's ideal date night? 7) Excluding people, what would your spouse say is their most prized possession? 8) At what specific sport or game will you wife say she is better than you? 9) What is your spouse...

Day two of our prep work for the Spring Cleaning Challenge! Today I'm going to give you a recipe for window cleaner.  I've also been told that using warm water and a little bit of cornstarch is a great way to clean your windows as well.

Spring Cleaning Challenge- Day 21, Shower

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, celebrating Easter with family and friends. This week we will be focusing on the bathrooms. (I hope you don't have very many) Because I'm not getting this post out till late morning you might consider swapping today's task and tomorrow's. If you get up early and have already taken a shower you might not want to clean the shower today. Instead you can jump ahead to tomorrow and clean the shower curtain and liner. Then tomorrow morning when you take a shower you can clean it. Do whatever works best with your schedule. CHALLENGE: Clean you shower(s) till it sparkles. Here is a link back to the post about shower cleaner. It really does work the best; It makes my shower tiles sparkle! I find that taking a shower while cleaning it is the easiest way. If you have multiple showers, you might consider not getting soaking wet every time, or asking a spouse or child to help you. Take a scrub brush to work on grout mold, and a sponge to wipe ...
