But the good news is that our house is now listed for sale and I've been able to keep it spotless even with a toddler. The thing that I've learned the most is that I'm not a messy person. Growing up I was always told I was messy so I believed it as an adult and never tried to keep my house spotless. Now I've been able to do it easily for a week and I'm enjoying it. So I know now that I am not what others lead me to believe I am. Get rest. You deserve it. :)Bobbiehttp://www.clumsycrafter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459951179827666855.post-183127533984514162011-03-06T05:34:58.567-07:002011-03-06T05:34:58.567-07:00Michelle, thank you for being honest in your recen...Michelle, thank you for being honest in your recent blog posts and not trying to sugar-coat your real world! Praise God, too, that you have reached out to Him...I'll join in with your other friends in praying for you and your family and all of the situations you are facing that make you stronger and grow you in Grace. God Bless you! By the way, we still have snow and ice here at the farm but I'm afraid I am one of those odd people who love it. I'm looking forward to spring, but not all of the hard work involved with it (living on a farm)Cary ~ My Wool Mitten at Serenity Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349458644831264576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459951179827666855.post-2680333943963786212011-03-05T18:23:52.170-07:002011-03-05T18:23:52.170-07:00I love what Andrea said...

There is victory on the other side - I just prayed for you! Sometimes when we are in our deepest valley's God teaches us the most...I pray that for you! Also - force yourself to agree to things being done "good enough" and not perfect! I have shopped for enough homes and sold enough to know that people want to see neat and clean...but not perfection! My prescription...be silly...kids like silly...and it lightens the home! You are halfway to victory because you recognized you were in the pit! Good for you sister friend! Big O Hug and many blessings!Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701492128362935145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459951179827666855.post-21846348872238823162011-03-05T10:27:23.150-07:002011-03-05T10:27:23.150-07:00I understand.

Often we are harder on ourselves than God. Be willing to consider new ways to seek Him in the midst of the chaos.~Rain```https://www.blogger.com/profile/03651417617385562994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459951179827666855.post-68674129502830697772011-03-05T09:56:53.302-07:002011-03-05T09:56:53.302-07:00oh brrr, I just came from Erin's link up at it...oh brrr, I just came from Erin's link up at it's grace.

You do have a lot on your plate, and it's natural that some things will slip. <br /><br />I don't want to sound like I'm candy coating or overlooking the depth of your stress and frustration...but I just KNOW you're going to come out on the other side of this refreshed and feeling blessed. And, God is going to take this entire experience and use it for good.<br /><br />Praying for you, and wishing I could give you a HUGE HUG right now.<br /><br />Thanks for linking up for Saturday.<br /><br />:)ErinIt's Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16279701164954591412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459951179827666855.post-61002659427880511302011-03-05T06:46:47.358-07:002011-03-05T06:46:47.358-07:00Cute blog!

You have a tendency to do too much, and then when you are too hard on yourself when you can't keep up. God knows exactly the place you are in right now, and He will give you the strength you need to get through it. But that may also mean you have to give up a few things in the meantime to get through it. It might mean putting your extra reading on hold, or loosening your schedule so you don't feel so overwhelmed by deadlines. Doing so won't make you a failure - it just makes you smart. ;) <br /><br />Also, you know where I live if you need anything.
