My Newfound Joy

I have a new found joy in life... having a clean house. Yes, some of you are shocked at this confession. Some, because you think, Hey, you're a wife and a mom, you SHOULD have a clean house! And the rest of you because, well, you know me and you know that this has never been something I've really concerned myself with. It is safe to say that Brad and I are both, well, kinda like slobs.

And it's worked for the 7 years we've been married.

But, now, I'm turning over a new leaf. I have a child. She's all over my floor... She makes a mess when she eats... Her toys consume the house... It's time to CLEAN! And I'm liking it! Really liking it. I'm finding JOY, God's joy, when I'm washing dishes or when I'm mopping (my first time mopping was just over a year ago in our last house we stayed in in the US... Yikes!)

Let's just pray that I can keep it up!
Yay for a clean house!

And my verse hanging on the bathroom door...

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men" (Colossians 3:23)
