I fail at life

Today I am revamping my life. I am rethinking how I do just the normal everyday life stuff. Why? Because I fail at life. There are a lot of things that I do really well. I sing well. I do my job well. I write well. I do not do life well.

I don’t cook very often (if at all).

I don’t clean the house (enough)

I don’t do laundry (until absolutely necessary)

I don’t deep clean (like I should)

When someone said to me, “Tell us about life Charissa. How is life going?” I responded, “I don’t do life very well.” It is just very hard for me to be motivated – then everything complies and it becomes overwhelming.  

(just a side note: I really tell you guys everything about me. Every little detail of my life is shared on this blog. It is slightly scary and relieving all at once :D)

So today I have decided that with the Lord’s help I am going to get better about all of this. I call it: The Clean slate method!

Observe :) 

I take everything out of the room and put it back together again differently – that way it is fun and also allows me to do the floors very well  (because of my breathing thing I have to keep the floors clean so I am not inhaling dust. Yuck.)

I know some people would read this blog and think “That’s terrible that she can’t get it together enough to keep her house clean!” But honestly for me it is. And I think that reaction is justifiable because sometimes I tell that to myself. But God is so gracious to me because even though I fail at cleaning – I fail at being perfect – I fail at doing laundry – I fail at cooking – I fail at life, he still loves me. Honestly he is probably in heaven smiling down at me and laughing “Look at my daughter Charissa. She’s a mess! I love her.” And that thought is enough to keep me trying to be better.
