My house is currently on the verge of driving me insane. Don’t get me wrong, I love it, but its so untidy as the children keep playing with stuff and I can’t keep up with Esther’s emptying drawer habits. She empties clean washing baskets and mixes them with dirty and I am left in a muddle.
Sometimes life can feel like that and it can be hard to separate the wood from the forest.

Many years ago a friend of mine told me about the “Tidy Drawer” policy of life.

We all know that a tidy home helps a tidy mind… but what if your life involves actual people and children and more specifically MY children? What then?

Well, this is the policy. If stressed and feeling wound up by the mess around you go and tidy your worst drawer. Its only a symbol, but its a start. This morning I tackled one in my kitchen. The children are running round with bouncy balls and party blowers, screaming with laughter. They have made mess in EVERY room. But I have a tidy drawer! So I am happy.
However messy your emotions feel or your mind is, take time today to give one tiny aspect of that to God and ask Him to deal with it permanently and swiftly.

I will pray with you that you experience freedom as that part of your life takes on a new sense of order and peace.

From a noisy crazy house, my love to you today, wherever you are and however your’e feeling!
