No Misconceptions

I want to remember later in life what my life was like now, so there are no misconceptions later.

A friend once told me that she tries to record her life in a positive but truthful manner. I often try to take pictures of the cleaner parts of my house. SO this is mostly to remind me that while I spent time with my kids and family, went to school, and was actively religious I let the house be messy, hopefully so I could focus my attention on what matters most. 

Never has the story of Martha and Mary meant so much to me as it does to me now. 

I realize that what Martha was doing was not a bad thing 

(neither is cleaning my house or mowing the lawn) 

and while these things have to be done they do not take priority over that which is most important. 

I do not want to be "careful and troubled" over that which will not last.

Recently I heard Linda S Reeves a leader in my church speak on this.  

It is absolutely true and I try to live it everyday!

So this is my house one day as I ran around doing not only the normal routine but this fun and exciting summer list. Really I am glad to not be cleaning. :)

Side note…I really had a hard time getting this stupid picture up here. 

It would not post on the blog…Almost like my blog was saying "NOOOOOO!" haha
