(I went as far as to share pictures of my super messy house: http://www.summitstreetjoy.com/2012/01/authentic-blogging-real-house-reveal.html). Blogging really helps keep me accountable--- I think that's half the reason I do it! :) Thanks so much for sharing and for the prayer. You're right that God is so good to give us the privilege of caring for our homes! By the way, I just sent you an email about guest posting--- let me know what you think :) Blessings, ---laurenLauren @ mercy(INK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13792176066056809755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790117123219955604.post-52208818954048801812012-05-05T15:42:27.213-04:002012-05-05T15:42:27.213-04:00Ahh I am so guilty of this! Both me and my husband...Ahh I am so guilty of this! Both me and my husband are pretty low key when it comes to keeping up the house so it's like all of a sudden it's an overwhelming mess. Something I've *tried* to start doing is taking just 15 minutes a day to straighten and pick up. It makes a big difference. And, wiping up/putting away things when i see them rather than putting it on my "I'll-do-it-later" list (which for some strange reason gets exponentially long!?!)Still a work in progress though. I have laundry that's been sitting in the basket for oh...like a month?! Maybe today I'll get to it! Hmm ok maybe I should change that maybe to "today I WILL" get to it. Basically what works for me is to not take on an overwhelming chunk but either do a quick clean up in 15 minutes, or to pick out a few things that are bugging me rather than focus on everything because that's when I go crazy! Good verse too. Good reminder to me of where some of my focus needs to be!Laura Railinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06942162058173860225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790117123219955604.post-823481596186427682012-05-05T09:08:50.249-04:002012-05-05T09:08:50.249-04:00Thanks for this encouragementThea.

I want our home to be a place of rest for both of us. So often those little things are left undone out of laziness on my part. I understand the comment above and I am sure that I will struggle opposite direction at times (I know I will...I can be pretty OCD) but for now I needed these words of encouragement. Thank you! =)<br />Alesha <3Aleshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247806446612390802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790117123219955604.post-85303785526481349082012-05-05T08:51:54.870-04:002012-05-05T08:51:54.870-04:00It's possible to be too far on the other side ...It's possible to be too far on the other side of this, though, too....Mark and I have the opposite problem. We're both pretty much neat-freaks. We made it clear to both girls early on that "mess is not an option" but we've also been making deliberate choices to let more things slide. Like leaving a coffee cup in the sink rather than putting it straight into the dishwasher is NOT a grounding-offense.
