Saturday, April 15, 2006 - CHCHC Newsletter, ed 10
The CHCHC Newsletter is now going to be posted only once a week on the weekend. Please keep your comments and pictures coming... just add them to the most recent Newsletter posted each week. We all love reading how everyone is doing!
C.H.C.H.C. STATS - 186 women signed up for email notification! TIME REMAINING IN CHCHC from Day 15:38 days TIME REMAINING IN CHCHC at the end of the week: 31 days CHALLENGES THIS WEEK:
DAY 16 - Devotion & Reflection (Sunday)
DAYS 17 thru 19 - Bathroom(s) (Mon. thru Wed.)
DAYS 19 thru 22 - Master Bedroom (Thurs. thru Sat.)
NOTE: If you have only one bathroom, begin in your masterbedroom. If you wind up getting done early in the week, then you can either finish up a room from the previous weeks, or keep going (next week is the laundry room)!
To print the Detailed Cleaning lists for this week, click on the following links: BATHROOM MASTER BEDROOM REMEMBER.... (what to prepare and plan each night)
What's for breakfast tomorrow? Get anything ready that you can tonight.
Lay out clothes for everyone... (BY THE WAY... JUST BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T TACKLED THE LAUNDRY ROOM, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE DOING LAUNDRY! Make sure you've got that on your schedule so you don't get further behind and have a real disaster to catch up when we get to that room... which happens NEXT WEEK!)
As you get done in each room, make sure that you're keeping it picked up. Take 10 - 15 minutes before the kids go to bed and make sure that everything is done so you wake up to a clean house in the morning!
Have you looked at your Weekly Challenge Calendar and know what's happening tomorrow and the rest of the week? (appointments, etc that you can't forget...)
Have you planned your Weekly Menu?
Write in your Prayer Journal on how you're feeling and doing with the challenge, as well as meditate on the verse for this week.
REFLECT... (on The CHCHC)
Leave a comment on the blog to share and encourage others. Your comments may uplift and encourage someone else! Be a blessing! (For those of you who are not "homeschoolbloggers", you can still leave comments! For those of you who don't have a blog, please leave a comment and sign your name. If you have a blog somewhere else, than just leave your link in the comment. Here are some questions to get you thinking... be sure to be writing your thoughts in your Prayer Journal as well! We never know what will happen from one day to the next, and your journal is an important part of remembering your journey throughout The Clean Heart, Clean Home Challenge.
How is the challenge going for you?
How is God speaking been speaking to you?
How is you Challenge Schedule/Plan going?
Most importantly... how is your HEART? What are you learning about yourself?
RENEW... (your heart)
"Now, therefore," says the Lord, "Turn to Me with all your heart..." So rend your heart...; return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness; and He relents from doing harm. Joel 2:12-13 (NKJV)
and a woman seeking the Lord's Will (daily), a wife (striving to keep the romance alive), a "Smamma" (Step- mother) of one and a homeschooling mom of seven (I was never going to have children), who starts every day over (after messing SOME thing up the day before), knowing God's grace is overflowing (just like my laundry), and so thankful He's blessed me more than I'll ever deserve.
