Martha? Mary? Both?

Y esterday I embarked on a journey with two dear friends.  A journey that promises to be...a 31 day faith step journey towards ruling, subduing, and loving...forgoing perfection...choosing life.  Yesterday we began, 31 days to Clean: Having a Martha House the Mary Way.

Katie discovered this treasure and invited us along for the ride.  Each day there is a Mary Challenge and a Martha challenge.  One is designed to encourage and engage your heart and the other challenges you to a specific cleaning task.

Today's focus was on giving life.

The Mary Challenge: ...What can you do today to bring life to your home, your children, your husband and your sphere of influence?

The Martha Challenge: Clean out and scrub down the refrigerator and freezer...
 
Some of the results of a day focused on giving life. 

The Mary way...

 and the Martha way...

It's only day two, and I am already thankful.  Day three, here we come.
