Challenge + tip of the week

It has been one of those blogging days. I know, sorry. But I have 2 more and I will combine them.
The first is a challenge I am putting forth to myself because I really feel I need some accountability. I have a prayer partner and that has been amazing to know that every week, we check in and see what each other needs prayerwise. So now I need some accountability for digging into God's word. I know I should do, I plan to do it, and then at the end of the day, I have not taken the time. I know when I start my day in His word, I have a better day. It is such a good start. And I want my kids to see me doing this. It is so important in our lives. So here is my challenge for myself this week: to read the Bible every day. It doesn't matter if it is a short devotional, getting ready for my Bible study, or my through the Bible plan. I just want to read something.
Maybe as I get this down, I will add more to it. Baby steps here which is why I am doing the challenge for one week only. We will see what next week brings.
Tip of the week: as I was taking my shower today, I noticed how dirty it was. I mean pink stuff growing in the corners dirty. Gross. I hate cleaning the shower. It is so hard to reach everything and I always end up wet. Something I started a couple of years ago and sporadically stick with is, keeping an old body scrub sponge thing in the shower with a bottle of off brand baby shampoo. When I am taking a shower, I simply use that to sponge everything down. It doesn't to deep deep cleaning but it keeps it basically clean and if I started off with a super clean shower it would make do for quite a while. Because you are using baby shampoo, you don't feel gross using it while you are in there and getting it on you. It took me literally 3 minutes to do this and now I don't have to be grossed out in the morning when I get in the shower. Happy showering!
