31 Days To Clean–Week 4

Homemakers Challenge - 31 Days to Clean



This week’s cleaning focused on the the bedrooms and bath in the Martha challenges.  No problems there!  Those rooms were just done not long ago by me so they were pretty easy to clean.  I didn’t steam clean any carpets though.  I like to do the whole house at once with that type of project.

For the Mary challenges, I took the personality test here and found out that mine was pretty much right on!  Although, in those kinds of tests I find it really hard to choose just one answer!  I shared the link with friends and for most of them, they didn’t agree with theirs so much.  My result was “S” which stands for supportive.  More about “S” type personalities:  steady, status quo, and sweet. This person likes to help and support others. They tend to focus on teamwork and cooperation over results.  Yes, yes – that is so much me!  I could also add that I am not big on confrontation either. 


For my personality type, the book says that my motivation is affirmation.  Again, yes – yes –yes!  I love affirmation and it helps me keep going even when well, I just don’t want to.  The support of my husband and that he sees what I do mean so much to me but my affirmation I desire the most is from my Lord.


When struggling I open my bible often to Colossians 3:23 and just ask the Holy Spirit to help me have this attitude.  This is my main motivation to just keep going!


“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”


Since school is ending this week, our schedule is not a normal one so taking a detailed log of my time is just not going to work right now for me.  But it is such a great idea and I plan to implement it when we get back to regular schedule.  I’m no good at logs or journals – for time or health but I know they are key to the evaluation process which by the way I don’t like evaluations either!  But, if you don’t evaluate – you don’t know – and if you don’t know – you will not grow!

  1. I don't really WANT to know exactly how and where I spend my time! But I do want to get better at time-management and getting things done before they NEED to get done!
