31 Days to Clean - Days 5 & 6
My family and me on our way to church this past Sunday. |
As I continue on the cleaning and homemaking journey, I am constantly reminded to why... Why is this important? Why should I complete this task? It is easy for me to look at my windows, blinds, carpet, etc and think: I did this recently, there is no need to do it again. Yet ultimately, I do. Now on the other hand, I am very quick to examine the Mary challenges and "do them in my head" while marking them complete in my mind. This is not true accomplishment as I am ensuring that nothing changes in my life. I do not allow room for growth by doing this.

31 Days to Clean - Introduction
A few years ago I read the ebook, 31 Days to Clean: Having a Martha House the Mary Way. I found it to be an excellent tool in helping me balance cleaning and entertaining/serving others. I tend to be a person who does one or the other.

O Death, Where is Thy Sting?
"O Death, where is thy sting?" - 1 Corinthians 15:55
My husband and I were talking about this verse the other day. He was telling me that it's one of those Scriptures in which we see the "already, but not yet" as well as a taste of prophecy. For those who fall asleep in the Lord, they can truly proclaim that death has no sting and hell has no victory. But for those of us left behind, we feel the sting of death as our loved ones are physically separated from us in the world. Tonight (10/17/16), my dad's sister, Yolanda, passed into eternity. Only three weeks have passed since the death of my dad. I have still been coming to terms with my earthly loss and yet here I am again faced with such a reality of a physical separation of a Tia that I have really grown to rely on in this past year. She and my dad were very close and my own relationship with her had grown tremendously in the past several months. She has been retired and I am a housewife balancing life with my husband in a new occupation that takes more of his time than that of his former work. Although we were in very different points of our lives, we spoke frequently and even several times during the day.

Over the years as we grew I found two new confidants that I had not known before: my dad and my mom.
