A good friend let me iron her laundry and she is paying me for it! I love it! Getting paid for something my kids used to make fun of me for doing! They used to call me the Little Chinese Laundry Lady because it seemed that I was ALWAYS doing laundry of some sort: sorting, washing, drying, ironing or putting it away, only to start all over again! Now I'm paying off some bills with my new found 'income'. What a sense of humor God has! Showing me that what I used to despise can be used to get out of, and stay out of debt!! (Dave Ramsey would be proud.)
But I think my politically correct title should be Gravitationally Challenged Oriental American Clothes Management and Refurbishing Technician!
Psalm 51:1-10 (The Message)
Generous in love—God, give grace! Huge in mercy—wipe out my bad record.
Scrub away my guilt,
soak out my sins in your laundry.
I know how bad I've been;
my sins are staring me down.
You're the One I've violated, and you've seen
it all, seen the full extent of my evil.
You have all the facts before you;
whatever you decide about me is fair.
I've been out of step with you for a long time,
in the wrong since before I was born.
What you're after is truth from the inside out.
Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life.
Soak me in your laundry and I'll come out clean,
scrub me and I'll have a snow-white life.
Tune me in to foot-tapping songs,
set these once-broken bones to dancing.
Don't look too close for blemishes,
give me a clean bill of health.
God, make a fresh start in me,
shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life.
