Spring Cleaning

Last year when we took spring break, I decided that we would also do spring cleaning. No trips for us-- unless you count a "trip" to the library, or Dairy Queen. ;) We got a lot done, and adjusted to the time change, and all felt a little more ready to tackle the last chunk of our school year. It worked SO WELL, that I plan for that to be our annual routine. =)

So Monday we got up and got started. And my schedule got interrupted and rearranged.... and my motivation has deserted me. I'm pretty good at starting well, but not terribly good at finishing...

Today I'm thankful that I serve a God who is GOOD at FINISHING! =)

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.
Genesis 2:1-2

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him and led him away to crucify him.
Matthew 27:27-31
 
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Matthew 27:45-46
 
After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), "I thirst." A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished," and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
John 19:28-30
 
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:6
