A desire to be different

Many of you who know me well – would agree that I love to cook hate to clean don’t have that clean freak gene that some others are blessed with.  Don’t get me wrong, we don’t live in a pig sty or anything – I do it – it is just like the last thing I feel like doing.  I ENJOY a clean house and  hate clutter, I know how to clean: thanks to my mom.  I just don’t have a strong desire to clean – until lately.  I made excuses why I couldn’t make time for it etc etc.. and even discussed getting a once a month maid to do the major stuff.. and then it dawned on me that this is an opportunity for God to work on me – I just have to ask him.  So I did.  My daily prayer {daily, because it is still a struggle} is that he gives me a desire to clean and opportunities to clean our home.  I’ll have to give Him the Glory that it is WORKING!  I even noticed a day or two that I forgot to pray about it, it was harder for me to do the daily chores.  The house is cleaner, I have found time to do it and it isn’t as big of a struggle… sometimes I even find JOY in doing it.  I’m so thankful He hears me and that he cares even about something so small!  What do you struggle with?  Is there something God might be calling you to ask of him?
Psalm 37:4-5 (NLT)Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires.  Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you.
