Being Inspired, Inspiring Others

by

Isn’t it funny how inspiration can come in bursts, from unexpected sources, and with no warning?
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not the most organized person. I am a first born female, who has more to do than organize and clean. The things that I do keep well organized, seem to always stay that way. My scrapbooking supplies, my writing, and even my school supplies (to some degree).
Clutter seems to grow in our house, an 8 room duplex with 8 people living in it. I get overwhelmed, and then feel paralyzed about what to do and how to do it.
Yesterday I found a Bible study in the “This Old School House” magazine. It’s a homeschooling magazine that a friend gave me a copy of. (I highly recommend it!) The Bible study was about organizing an area, a room, or even more. As I read the study and looked up the scriptures, I became inspired.
So, today, guess what I am doing?
Organizing!
That’s right, me….organizing my office and dining room.
They have to be done together, because half of what is in the dining room belongs in the office….see, I really am a true disorganized person!
Anyhow, the first step is to pray. I have been doing that, I have my coffee (vanilla spice from Duncan Donuts), and as soon as I publish this, I will begin to work…I guess I’ll be busy for a while, it is really bad! (Just ask anyone who has been to my house in the last month or so….clutter to the max!)
