Laundry-Washed, Folded, Put Up

Tonight is a great night! I did my laundry all in one night! I made it my duty to get it all completed before I went to bed. This small completed task shows me that God is making changes within me and I am wanting the change. I am a very lazy person and most of the time I do not do things if I do not feel like it and laundry is one of them. Normally it takes me a few days to finish washing and another week or two to get my clothes put away. But tonight I stayed up until I finished and set alarms on my phone whenever the washer would be done so I wouldn't forget. As I took one load out the dryer, I made sure it was folded and put away before the next load was finished


So I am very proud of myself and praise God for it! Laziness and disorganization are the two things I struggle with the most and right now in my life, this is the season to work on it!! :)

Emotions Clouding My Judgement

     God has recently shown me that I rely TOO MUCH on my emotions verses His direction to direct my life and my decisions. During this experience there was a word that really stuck with me, which was the word "whimsical". I never remember new words so I figured something was up with this word because it stuck around. 
     This word was introduced by cousin while we were discussing my relationship between my boyfriend and I and my cousin said that my bf was a whimsical type of dude. So me being me, I was like "what the heck does that word me?" Basically, it means to be unpredictable and in his case, it was to be do things based off of how he feels in the moment. 
    So jumping one month ahead, I was debating about cutting off my hair because I didn't want to deal with it(LAZINESS) anymore. And it was about the 4th day of thinking about it that God showed me that in fact, it is me that is whimsical. Most things I do are based off of how I feel verses a logical processed decision. I also realized that's how I was treating my relationship with my boyfriend and my life.
    So after all of that, this has been a true eye opener for me about myself and I was also able to share this with my boyfriend. From that conversation sparked more and more things and now we are in a better place in our relationship.


So now my new prayer is that I allow God to lead in every area in my life and not my emotions!!! :)
