"It's not so much how busy you are, but why you are busy. The bee is praised. The mosquito is swatted." - Mary O'Connor
If you didn't see my earlier post, Sarah Mae has written the book 31 Days to Clean: Having a Martha House the Mary Way. I have joined the challenge to blog about each of the days the book highlights. The book is available for download for only $4.99 here!
Sarah Mae has some challenges in the book that are Mary challenges that will challenge your heart and then there are Martha challenges that will make you just get in there and get it done. I am SO excited to dive into this book since Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World made me realize I'm such a Mary!
So Day 1 posed the question "Why Clean?"
Good question. Sarah wants us to look inside ourselves and ask why do we want a clean home. My answer to this question is to have my home feel inviting to my own family. I want my family to WANT to stay at home and to freely invite people over. I want it to be a place of rest and refuge for anyone who came to the door. I want my home to be a happy place. My home's "mission statement" will be this: Our home will be an environment of love, rest and refuge without dirt and clutter.
So HOW am I going to do this? I really hope Sarah Mae can help guide me on this journey! She says in her intro to the book that cleaning doesn't come easy for her and that her "DNA is allergic to it." Um...HELLO...that would be me!
Won't you join me on this journey? Go purchase her ebook or follow along with me on my blog.
*Editor's note* I just realized I started a day early, so check back Tuesday for Day 2!
