Furniture Flipping

One day each month I pull all the furniture away from the walls, flip the couch and love seat over, and vacuum under and behind everything. This morning that was the first thing on my to-do list. As I was vacuuming, I was grumbling that I hated this job. I realized though that I really don't mind the actual physical labor; what I hate about this task is that it is a very time consuming task that doesn't really do anything to make the room look better. When I am done the room looks exactly the way it did before I started. I would much rather spend time on tasks that improve the way a room looks....as I was having these thoughts it occured to me that I tend to have the same thoughts about my spiritual life. I am always ready and willing to work on faults and sin issues that will affect the way people see me, but not so ready to work on those issues that are hidden to others. hmmmm, how sad is that?!?!? It makes me wonder than why I am working on those issues. Am I trying to impress others or my Lord? I've shared before that I am a people pleaser, but this is rediculous. I have a Savior who laid down his life for me and still I find myself more concerned with what a friend thinks of me than how I can better myself for Him! My new goal....well, I don't think I am going to share it. I have some heart issues that need to be dealt with. You may never see the results, but I know that God will and THAT is what matters most.. ....please pray that I remember that.
