Thursday I posted some goals to motivate and track the progress on our house cleaning efforts. Here’s the results at the end of day 4:

1. Feed on God’s Word – Proverbs 31:17, 27 spoke to my heart about the diligence God wants to see in my life. Ecclesiastes 2:17-23 reminds me to keep importance on the eternal while I work on the temporal.

2. Schoolwork – On the applicable days, yes, we got it done.

3. Throw away 16 things a day – Exceeded the “limit” every day….boy we gotta lotta junk!

4. Give away minimum 16 things a day too – Over the top on this one as well so far, with 4 more bags of clothes, and some boxes of toys to take to co-op next week and/or Freecycle.

5. Do something to reorganize/repair the home – Thursday, finished sorting and labeling the “attic clothes”; Friday, pared down some toys, cleaned computer desk; Saturday, got boxes into attic, found more clothes to sort/donate, enjoyed dinner guests that evening; Sunday afternoon, sorted & consolidated 7 boxes (with Chris) from our downstairs hallway, kept 2 1/2 boxes worth

6. Post Progress – Check.
