Lord, remind me of how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered -
how fleeting my life is.
You have made my entire life no longer than the width of my hand.
My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
at best, each of us is but a breath
Reading this scripture this morning, I immediately thought of work. I personally have not had a lot of experience with death at the hospital, but the few times that I have feel like this. It literally shows you the truth of this scripture. How God can just say, "I'm ready for you" and you're on your way home. It's just unbelievable how quickly it can take someone, and how it makes you realize that we are a mere speck on God's time line that stretches around the world and farther. It's astounding. It makes my daily complaints, worries, fears, and troubles seems so insignificant. It just makes me want to sit back, gaze at, and enjoy God's beautiful creation here on earth while I'm here and say to all of those worldly troubles "you don't really realize how little you matter."

Norwex Usage
I've had some people ask me what Norwex products I use on a daily basis. Here ya go:
Every morning and night, I use the body cloth on my face. I then use either the day or night cream after cleaning my face. These three products are probably my favorite.
I use the shea butter every day and I take it to work with me. Washing my hands constantly really dries my knuckles out, so I use it a lot. I also use it on my lips and around my eyes.
I use the dish cloth on my dishes every day. I think I decided I like to use that one better than the kitchen scrub cloth on my dishes. I also use my enviro cloth to wipe down my counters. I also make eggs every day and almost always spill it on the stove and need to use a damp enviro cloth and cleaning paste to get rid of that. Then polish it with a window cloth.
I use the dish detergent and dishwashing liquid every day or every other day.
I use the laundry detergent, magnet ball, and dryer balls weekly. I got the detergent it in October, and still probably have a month left of it. We do about 3 loads/week.
Once a week, I run my dusting mitt on random surfaces that get dusty. I also use my mop about once a week too, unless the floor needs it before then. Pretty much every time I use those products, I clean them with my rubber brush. I also use the window cloth with a spray bottle on my coffee table and end tables because they have glass tops and they get gunky pretty quickly.
Other products I own that I don't use as often: descaler, bathroom scrub mitt, optic cloth, washing net, travel pack of enviro cloths, and spirisponge.
I have a bunch of Windex, Febreeze, Swiffer products, and Clorox wipes if anyone is interested in those. I'll just give them away because I don't use them anymore and probably never will.

New Loves of My Life
I've recently started to use some new stuff and wanted to share! Here it goes ..
I love my One Year Bible - it breaks the New Testament and Old Testment, Psalms, and Proverbs into daily readings. I love it because I tried to do that with my regular Bible but it got kind of confusing to make the readings consistent.
Compliments of Katie Ivesen, this is my new favorite hair product! I swear, I'm turning into Katie. Pretty soon I'll shower every 4 days.
If you were/are a fan of black cherry Kool-aid, this stuff is like that, but in candle form. I burn it every day, and if I don't, I'm sad.
My new KINDLE! John got this for my for the bday! I love it! The only downside is that some authors don't release rights for their books to be ebooks, which is why Harry Potter isn't available. I'm reading a series right now and it's an 11 book series, but only the last three books are ebooks. And I'm on the 3rd book. Boo.
If you've lost to Scrabble recently, it's probably because I played you. Since I got my new phone, I'm able to play/defeat anyone I want in Scrabble! But for the droids, it's called Wordfeud. LOVE. IT.
I don't remember the last day that I didn't wear these. I finally broke down and bought them..they're were way too expensive, but way worth it.
Dear Snowblower, thank you for recently making a clutch appearance in my life. You have saved my back and saved my husbands back from further deteriorating. You're ability to remove snow from my ridiculously long (giggity) driveway astounds me. I will be forever grateful that you are in my life.
