We've been camping ---A LOT. And in between camping, there have been trips to Grandpa and Grandma's house. We haven't been home for the last 4 weekends....So let's just say my house is in great need of "ordering." It's been a little neglected. We're going to be home for the next two weeks and I am anxious about getting everything cleaned so I can enjoy the summer days with the kids.
I'm also feeling a need to "order" my life as well. My mind seems to be moving in several different directions at once....blogging, sewing, writing, crafting, opening an Etsy shop, budgeting.....
My prayer for today: (From Psalm 90)
Lord, teach me to number my day aright, that I may gain a heart of wisdom. Establish the work of my hands, yes establish the work of my hands. Lord, please order my mind as well...
Meanwhile, while God orders my mind, I'll be scrubbing, purging and ordering the rooms of my house. I've got about six different lists and calendars printed out and taped to the wall that I keep running to and writing down items before I forget them.
List are great. I love marking off my jobs as I do them. Then at the end of the day I have visual proof that I did good and can be proud of a day well used. Only 2 weeks and we will be there for a wonderful visit. Don't stress too much about the house because we are coming to visit you and the grandkids. Love, MOM

I totally understand! We all need a break and time to get our house in order. I want you to know I would sooo love it if you started an etsy store. I love the stuff you make and sew. I wish I was that talented. Blessings!
