For years I have exhausted myself with getting my home organized and consistently clean. With 3 kids, you can imagine how well that idea worked. Granted, it's a nice thought, but absolutely impossible to obtain. I continuely deceive myself by thinking "Once this home is organized, then I will be able to think clearly and relax. I will be supermom/superwife and I'll finally have time to sit down and spend as much time as I want reading my Bible and getting to know my Lord."
Well...let's just say that I have wasted years of opportunity of drawing closer to my Savior. I am not where I want to be or should be, and it is because I have allowed my flesh to win over what is right. I have chosen the good over the best. I have tasted the best...so why in the world am I settling for less? I have allowed my heart's desires of perfection in the little things overshadow my pursuit of holiness. Shame on me. My Lord deserves so much more than that.
I desire to be a godly wife and mother for my family, and that is certainly good...but I have been going about it completely the wrong way.
Spending time with my Savior and in His Word will make me a good wife and mother, not a clean and organized home...cause a consistently clean and organized home is never gonna happen. :)
