Thank you. Yes, I do know Flylady, though should visit the 15 minutes section again. I spend 15 a day just tidying and decluttering our large bedroom at the moment–so I do do longer bashes the day before the cleaner comes.

We've been becoming more organised and decluttered over the last four years, but when it's so slow, you sometimes don't realize how much progress you've made.

Your insights about the nature of God are exciting – reminding me of the first time I read Cloud of Unknowing.
I do sympathise with you over housework and de-cluttering. May I ask if you have visited the flylady.net site. The Only Fifteen minutes a day section transformed my approach to housework.

“I don't think God wants you to regret…He sure doesn't regret the things you have done…after all it was in that process you came closer to Him. ” That's brilliant. Thank you so much!

“If you give your whole self to God, He can even take all your stumbling and your wandering, your off-track time and use it all for His kingdom. How can He use it? I have no clue, but He does. He is the ultimate trash into treasure expert.”

And they are such comforting words. Thank you for sharing them at http://janehinrichs.weebly.com/1/post/2012/08/freedom-and-making-your-trash-into-treasure.html

It was a superb post! 🙂

I get such “great” ideas but so many don't pan out. I sometimes get discouraged and ask God to help me through the scatter-brainness that seems to be there so often.

Thank you.
