Housecleaning

So today I only worked till lunch. Then I came home and got to cleaning. As I cleaned I thought "crap when did it get this bad?" I wonder sometimes who are the slobs who live here? Do they just not care that everything is a mess? Or are they just so busy living their lives, doing daily chores and activities that there is no time to see how bad things have gotten and do a little upkeep?
   Well I happen to know "these people" and they are good people with busy lives and blind eyes at times. I know at times my physical home gets dirty and unkept but I also know my soul has been a hot mess lately! And that is no bueno. I find it's hard for me sometimes to see the way the sin and dirt is piling up in my heart! Unforgiveness just piles up in the corners of every room of my heart. Hurt turns into anger and anger acts out in meanness. I mean to tell you before I know it the mean girl is redecorating rooms that were held for my Jesus! Well you know what she needs? A boot to the butt! So out she goes again. I know she'll be back. She sneaks in when I'm tired and forget to lock the door. She dirties up the whole place and since "these people" aren't watching for it I sometimes need that precious friend who can say Whoa chica! Who are you being? And together we beat down that mean girl. Thank you God I have that friend! Remember when approaching a mean girl taking over a spiritual life approach with caution!! Well maybe not as much caution as gentleness(Gal. 6: 1). You know I am blessed for that accountability and I thank my faithful sister for loaning me her eyes! I pray she will do it time and again! Now let me go I'm not done cleaning the physical house and I'm back to work tomorrow. God bless and keep you, Ms. Jill
