The Saturday Six

One.

Anyone else ever accidentally reheat buttered breadsticks on a pan with holes? Yeah. It's time to clean the oven. That's your cleaning and organizing challenge for this week! Have an oven or microwave that needs a little spiffing? This is your week!!

Two.

Last Monday, when we were trying {somewhat in vain} to get quick answers from medical and insurance offices, I happened upon this devo by Scotty Smith. It was another faith-boosting moment for me. In the face of people who didn't answer their phones {half the calls} and those who had no clue of an answer {the other half of the calls}, it was good to be reminded that all of it was in God's timing and He's never late. EVER. 

Three.
Like to read? My friend (yes, my real life friend!!) Sarah Forgrave has a free e-book (short story length) out called Running to You with a Valentine's Day theme to it! You can go here to learn how to get it!

Four.

This week on BLT, we talked about times in life when we THOUGHT we looked good and then upon later reflection, we changed our minds. Above is one of my favorites. Yeah. That's me. It was when I first really discovered blush. And scissors.

Five.
For when you feel like you can't start because you're not ready...Shauna Niequist's truth that you're never really ready, but that shouldn't keep you from starting.

Six.
Best. Thing. Ever. Check out this article. This would completely be a Bekah thing to do. Bravo, Mr. Irby. Bravo.

I cleaned my oven last week oddly enough (it's been years since the last cleaning I'm ashamed to say). And the only reason I did it this time was because a glass dish exploded in there and I thought that maybe while I cleaned up all the glass, it would be a good time to clean it for real! I like to keep my kitchen clean, but for some reason I forget about the oven until it's preheated for something and when I open the door to put it in, I think, "Man I should really clean that oven!" I'm loving these cleaning/organizing challenges you're giving! If I hadn't already done it, your challenge to clean the oven would have reminded me to do at a time when it wasn't occupied with something baking.

Thank you so much for sharing about my story, Bekah! I'm honored!

And I'm pretty sure I have an exact replica of your picture. I had over-blushed cheeks the shade of cotton candy, if I remember right. :)

I love the Mr Irby photos. It makes me want to start doing that now :)

And Dave is going to clean the oven when he will have a week at home without us!

And I never did my fridge washed out. I've decided to save it for Spring when I'll be happy to be cleaning out my cold fridge for an hour!
