Here's to my friends with stinky towels

Today I was encouraged that it is good to have little reminders that I'm not perfect. I can't do it all. I am here to glorify God, no one else. Does it matter if my towels stink sometimes or that I have a messy bedroom? Not to God, and not to those who care about me instead of what I can do. Thank you to the friends who let me know it's okay to be me. It's okay that I fail sometimes (a lot of the time). Failure is not a sink full of dirty dishes, an unmade bed, clothes on the floor, stinky towels, or needing to wipe my feet on a rug after walking through my kitchen. The only thing in this life I really need to succeed at is bringing glory to God and enjoying Him, and I can only do that by his grace. I am so glad it's not all up to me, because I really can't do it all. Sometimes I feel like I can't do any of it.

From a fellow friend with stinky towels, and who is guilty of wiping her feet on the carpet:
YOU GO, GIRL! Right now, the living room is a MESS (toys everywhere), there are dirty dishes all over the kitchen, and my floor is disgusting, but I'd rather blog right now--so I'm blogging. And then I'm going to take a nap. I'm ignoring the "just one more thing"s today. Wahoo!
