Lazy Goggles

I am starting to notice more and more how things accumulate in corners, on tables and counter tops and sit there for weeks and weeks. Why does this happen?

I know how. You come home from somewhere and set something down and it just sits there until you have the energy or time or mainly inclination to deal with it. And the piles grow as thing after thing get put on top. I hate this. I want to live in an uncluttered home. I can clean my house. I can keep things picked up, but my home will always have this messy feel if I don't attend to the corners and counters. Sure I have a lot of good excuses right now, but let's be honest...this isn't a new problem. Many people have a new year's goal or a new week's goal or whatever. I have to start and restart these goals over and over. Unless, I make it a habit (then I don't have to start over quite so often). My goal is to get uncluttered. My goal is to stay uncluttered. A Proverbs 31 woman doesn't have a cluttered house. A cluttered house makes for cluttered thinking. I refuse to be a cluttered person anymore. I may have to restart this goal a few times over the next few months until I get a habit established.

My dad always had a saying that used to drive me crazy because it could be overwhelming, but I think it's time to adopt it. EHAH -> Everything Has A Home

Today everything on the dining room table, the kitchen counter and the entryway will find it's way into it's proper home. Once again - no more excuses. I have a goal and I want to be uncluttered. I want to think clearer. I want to set a good example for my children. It's time to take off the lazy goggles that stop seeing the clutter and get a clear view of what is all around me. Colossians 3:22-25

Servants, do what you're told by your earthly masters. And don't just do the minimum that will get you by. Do your best. Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, confident that you'll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance. Keep in mind always that the

ultimate Master you're serving is Christ. The sullen servant who does shoddy work will be held responsible. Being a follower of Jesus doesn't cover up bad work.

Lord - I am your servant. I want to reflect you in all that I do. Help me to un-clutter my life and keep it that way. I want to be clear and shiny. Help me to stop ignoring the clutter and get a clear viewpoint of my life. I know I can do this through your strength and your wisdom. Thank you for the energy to get it all done. Love you Lord!
