Bleach

I know it's a weird title but this is such a good post I had to get back on here to share it!

I have been washing my cloths and laundry by hand for a while now. And well it started to become a dread of mine. I hated taking an entire day to scrub and rinse and rinse and rinse again only to end up with cloths all stretched out and crunchy! Justin my hero noticed that I was dreading these wash days and came up with a grand idea! "Honey" he said " Why don't we budget getting our cloths washed at the laundry mat?" I of course was thrilled with the idea. We cut back on a few things and now have our cloths sent out! Praise the Lord! But it cost double to get towels and sheets done at this place so I figured I could handle those with out a tear.

So once a week I take half a day and scrub my sheets and towels and it's become a joy for me. I feel productive and helpful! I turn my music up and scrub away.

Well while on our furlow i bought some bar rags and white wash cloths at Costco. I love white towels! Not sure why, but I do. The hard part about owning such beautiful things is that they don't tend to stay that white. I also bought two super cute white tops at GAP and after sending them out to be washed they started to come back dingy looking. well I decided I needed some BLEACH! Yes I needed my whites whiter!

I scrubbed as usual but this time I soaked my white towels and tops in bleach and WOW what a difference! I was amazed! My towels looked brand new and my tops were no longer raggedy looking!

It made me think of my life and my sins. They too dirty my heart my mind and make me dingy. Then I thought about how God's Son's Blood works a lot like bleach. It makes us clean again, spotless, and bright! I am so glad I have bleach to take care of my laundry and have not the words to show how grateful I am to God for sending His Son to cleanse me from all my unrighteousness!

I have also found this little smiley face good company as I work. It was placed there by the previous tenant's helper most likely. I do my laundry in the maids quarters where some poor girl worked very hard and put this cute little sticker up to hlep her get though the day. I am glad it is there to cheer me up and make me smile!

what have I been up to???

OK so I have been MIA lately SORRY for that! I have been trying to get in a routine for a month now and well it has been difficult! So I am back now and I hope to get things rolling and start blogging! We got our new camera while we were in the States ( Thanks Dad, Granny, and everyone else who chipped in!) I have been taking pictures but Justin also got a new computer and has been steeling my pictures and forgetting that I still need the shots too! So we are on share mode and I have pictures and adventures to share!!!

Oh and I made a garland!! I am in love with GARLAND!!!

Well Let's see I also took a little trip to a very famous Island called Corregidor that is found off the coast of Manila Bay area! it is where US and Filipino solders fought together during WWII.

This is the Eternal Flame

Here is a great view of the Bay. I am on top of a Lighthouse at one of the tips of the Island

And here I am going down to the first level of the invisible gun where they kept the ammunition for this amazing gun that would disappear after firing it's powerful shots. It would drop and be reloaded to be shot again! The enemy didn't know what was coming or from where.

All in all I have been very busy! and with my new camera working I need to get Blogging!

Note from the Editor!

Just to make things clear! I am not by any means putting my hope and trust in the book I quoted in my last post! I did however love the story and recomend it! I have read alot about the author and realize that the chariture the this book is not who God is. We all must look only to the true Word of God to find our peace, hope and future!
Thanks for listening to me!
