Days 2 and 3 (august 26&27)

This has been an interesting couple of days.  One would think that this new journey I am headed on would mean that at the very least I would have a slightly cleaner home than 3 days ago...one would be wrong...
I have mostly spent the last three days going around and around in my head, attempting to get a game plan set for this whole thing.  At the very least, a bare bones schedule to which I can begin to follow.  So far, I've got nothing....nada..zilch.  Am I giving up? No way, I am however feeling a bit overwhelmed.  I should really take pictures of every room in my house and post them here if for no other reason than to shame me into action.  I mean real pictures, not the usual faked pictures where I de-clutter and cursory clean one section of a room so that I can take a well positioned picture and then post it on facebook with the tagline " My newly painted bedroom :)", thereby duping my friends into thinking that my room is always clean and shiny.  Since my intention here is to be honest and open, then pictures would go a long way in at least spurring me on to continuing down this path...so I will work on that...but no pictures of the garage,  there are still areas that I am not ready to expose to the world just yet ;).  This picture thing does give me an idea.  Have you ever done what I just described?  You re-decorate your room, or re-paint it and then you take pictures to email to interested friends or family so that they can see all that you have done.  Well I do, because my mom and sister live far away, I like to show off my projects via email.  Anyway, sometimes when I "stage" the room just right and take a picture,  I notice trash or a sock in the picture that I missed during my clean sweep, or I realize how cluttered an area looks that didn't look so cluttered when I just scanned the room.  So what I'm thinking is, maybe I will try taking a picture of a room before I start to de-clutter and organize it, and see what inspiration I come up with.  Maybe I will discover areas in the room that need work that I never noticed before.hmmm...I'll try it tomorrow and post my results.  This of course could totally be a waste of time, but at this point it's about trial and error.  Wish me luck!

Dear Jesus,
Help me to continue on with this.  Give me energy and inspiration and help me to resist the urge to "eat the bread of idleness".  Fill me with your grace, because I know that ultimetly, that is all I need.
I love you Jesus,
Amen
