"Let all things be done decently in order" 1 Cor. 14:40

Today is a wonderfull day! The sun is shining, the air is clean, the littles are happy, and I'm getting stuff done! I have cleared my closet of all the clothes I don't wear (or haven't worn for the past 2 months) and organized it according to the days oft he week. It feels good looking at my wardrobe now, and knowing I won't wake up one morning and wonder what on earth I'm going to wear.

If you are thinking I'm really organized if I do that, think again. I wish that were true, but instead, I'm so disorganized, I have to do this so my clothes don't get lost! ;^]] It works though!

Now I have to figure out what to do with all those extra clothes in all those bags. I never knew I had collected so many! I wonder if my sisters would let me do the same to their wardrobe? It sure cuts back on the crouded closet space, and it looks so nice! I love it when things are in order. It gives me energy, and I can think more clearly.

My parents have just changed rooms with us. now the girls are upstairs in the big room with the baby, and they have the master bedroom down stairs with their own bathroom. Mom says she is sleeping really well. So am I. I'm in a bed! I'm in heaven! Before, I was sleeping on a couch. It was comfortibable, but small. I was the only one who could do it because both my sisters roll in their sleep. I wake up in the same position I wanted to be in, so... I got the couch. But now I have a bed! I'm happy now! {:^> lol.

I'm really enjoying setting our new room into the way it's going to look. I want to decorate it in an old, southern country style. We have pleanty of quilt tops from my great aunt's house, and baskets collected over the years. Yes, I'm going to have fun with this room.

For those who might be wondering, I am feeling much better, and will probably be able to come back to character first this week. However, I cannot sing one pretty note.

God is an awesome God, and He cares more about you than you do. Last night, I mentaly made an alter on my bed and put myself on it as a sacrifice to Him. When I got up this morning, I reminded myself that I was dead. With myself out of the way, God had the keys.

I'm trying to memorize this chapter:

Romans 6
"1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?
2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,
6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.
10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace."
