The Nest

So with unrepentant pride in my typing fingers, I would like to declare that it is January 15th and my New Year's Resolutions are going awesome. I have made it more than two weeks and the victory is MINE!

Two weeks....guess that isn't really much to brag about. But I am happy about how much more I've been digging into God's word, reading just in general instead of watching TV, and I have a meal plan to cook at home every weeknight for this month and all of February - so excited to try all the amazing new recipes my friends sent me!

I like plans. I like lists. It makes me feel more in control and frees me from battles with depression and anxiety. That's why I'm starting small on a big nesting project. I'm going to dedicate my time to 2 rooms of our home each week until it is completely organized, clean, and clutter free. I'm not only doing this so I feel better, but because of them.



I'm excited to post my progress, as I start to take more pride in a home I have grumbled about way too much. Sure, there was a lady walking around in a bathrobe and slippers smoking a cigarette this week....but it's still an okay neighborhood and I think our house has a bit of potential.

Time to get out of the doldrums about it, and make things better and more beautiful. Because life IS beautiful and we're called to make it better! :)

Enough sap. Pictures soon. <3
