Black Mold of Discontent

Old post from an old blog of mine. Thought I would re-post.

Originally written October 05, 2013

Black Mold: How quickly it spreads right under your nose

I finally decided that it was time to clean the floor in my kitchen. My feet have been sticking to it for about 3 months now. Yuck! I don’t know why I let things that bother me go that long without attending to them. It just causes me stress and anxiety. Anyways, when I got my steamer ready to go I looked down below the bottom of my sink, and there it was, Black Mold  I wanted to cry. I haven’t been feeling well the past few weeks, and now it all makes sense. The headaches, tiredness, shortness of breath, probably just an allergic reaction from the black mold. Well it just feels like the tip of the iceberg of problems I’ve been dealing with lately. The slow drip drip drip of my leaky sink over time has caused a nasty problem.

(found out later I have Lyme Disease)

Black Mold: Procrastination

I’ve been letting a lot of things drip lately. The sticky floor has been driving me nuts, but it took a long time for it to make it to the top of the list of “priorities” running through my mind. The problem is that they are all always there. I cannot complete one thing before moving on to another. I just do a little here and a little there and it’s like removing a little black mold and not all of it – it just GROWS back! I just run around “putting  out fires” as they say. Nothing ever seems to get accomplished. Finally all of the leaks have burst open and the flood waters are over my head. I always tend to bite off more than I can chew and thus my life has become toxic to me. So what do I do? Hmmm

Black Mold: Removal and Repair

The best thing with black mold is remove every last bit of it. So what should I do to get my life in order? I guess clean it all out and start over. Too many projects, too much clutter, too little time. Time to detox. I’ve been so unhappy lately. I am grateful and I know I am blessed, but there is this want for more more more. More ME. It has become like a black mold growing around my heart. God please cleanse my heart and refresh me. I need your help. Today my “Message from God” said this:

Today, Stephaney, we believe God wants you to know that …

when you expect nothing, you always receive a lot.

No matter how much you receive, if you expected even more, you will be disappointed.

No matter how little you receive, if you expected even less, you will be happy.

I’m not really sure how to take it. Should I never strive for more in my life? I guess I should learn to live with a little again. I can’t seem to keep up with a lot. Maybe if I can clear out the mold from my house and heart that would be a great step forward. Please be praying encouragement my way. Feeling dark right now. Tata for now. Another priority has taken this one’s spot.

God Bless –

Stephaney

See how I am doing in life now….

I Would Rather Have Strep Throat…

I woke up a couple of days ago with a very sore and very swollen throat. I didn’t think much of it, because my youngest daughter had been sick the week before. I just assumed my body was trying to fight it off. Then I woke up yesterday and it felt worse. I decided to […]

You will Never get Fully Clean in Your Old Machine

I have learned that sometimes it is better to pay the full price and get new. Buying a new washer & dryer taught me that sometimes paying full price is worth the cost. Jesus paid full price to make us clean, and we are new creations in Him…. Here is the story of how I […]

Why I am So Sick of Webinars!

What I’ve Learned From Webinars: I have wasted too many hours watching webinars. I have learned a lot from them, but very little of it has helped me personally in any way shape or form. I have come to realize many things about webinars themselves, and I hope if I ever make one that I […]

The Struggle is Real, but There’s Power in Connection

Searching for Self-Help: Lately, I’ve been doing an overall assessment of my life and trying my best to make improvements, stay motivated, and change my thinking. I’ve been reading a lot of what I would call Christian self-help books as well as blog posts from successful bloggers. Chronically, I find myself wondering whether I will […]

Recipe Sesame – Spinach Chicken Pasta

  Spinach Chicken Pasta – Yum Tonight I whipped this recipe up from scratch. I talk about how to do this in my post Recipe Sesame: How to make dinner when you fail to plan. Ingredients: 1 – Large Chicken Breast – cut into small chunks 2Tbls – Butter 1 – Large Vine Tomato – […]

Recipe Sesame – How to make dinner when you’ve failed to plan.

Recipe Sesame – Meal Planning Failure: I wish that I could say that I am a meal-planning guru, but sadly I am not. I have had some experience with freezer meals, but otherwise, I am more of a wing-it wonder. Out of pure necessity, I have learned to excel at creating meals from what I […]

Hidden Pantry Storage Solution

Where is This Hidden Storage You are Not Utilizing? It is staring you in the face. You may not realize it, but the door that you open and close every time you enter your pantry is an excellent area for added storage. If you have a small area for food storage, as I do, you […]

Where’s the Joy in Happy New Year

Today is the last day of 2016. I think over the past year with bittersweet reflection. As a stay-at home-mom, I consider all of the beautiful moments with my awesome kids and how I must be doing something right with them, because they are so great. I love them with all my heart, and I […]

Lyme Slime Taking My Time – My Lyme Story Part 6

Lyme Slime Hanging Onto Me: I saw my doctor yesterday. The Lyme was still “gone,” but he did find a lyme co-infection in my brain and quite a few other things that are causing me to still feel crappy. I keep wondering, when I will feel better?! I struggle to keep faith in the process […]

Silk Almond Nog Review

I Cannot Believe It! Dairy-Free Eggnog. Yes!!! I am so happy to be doing this Silk Almond Nog Review! This is my first product review for my blog, and I am super excited about this product! Every year, I buy eggnog for my husband. He loves it. I love it too, but it does not […]

Free Ice Water & A Little Faith

I’m Still Here: You may have been wondering why it has been so long since I have written a blog post.. I think this is my first bout of “blogger’s block.” Like “writer’s block,” but with a blog. The one year anniversary for this blog came and went, and I had to make a big […]

How To Contact Paper the Back of a Shelf

Cheap (Inexpensive)-Shelf-Addict: I would definitely consider myself a cheap-shelf-addict. I am obsessed with those little shelves you can buy for next to nothing new and even closer to nothing at yard sales. I love them so much because they are cheap (inexpensive) and VERSATILE. They can be a book shelf, a craft organizer, a toy […]

Light in the Mommy Battle

I am currently trying to add more DIY Projects to my blog, but I found this from a while back and wanted to share. I know there are other frustrated Moms out there. Just letting you know, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! The Battle is Real: People have told me that I always look “put together,” […]

How to Paint a Herringbone Pattern

Herringbone is very on-trend right now, and the pattern seemed like the perfect match for my large wall in my living room. I searched for other people’s projects on Pinterest, but did not really find many DIY posts on the topic. I hope people wanting to go for this awesome look, will find this post […]

Roads & Reflections

Time to Take a Crazy Drive: I recently went on a spur of the moment road trip to see my family. This is not something that I do. EVER! My Dad called up and said he had the coming week off, and that we should drive down. I hadn’t seen my Dad in about 4 […]

Lyme Treatment FollowUp – My Lyme Story (Part 5)

Lyme Treatment FollowUp: In the Dumps The last post I wrote about my Lyme issues was a pretty big downer. I was feeling pretty crummy for about 3 weeks prior to this week.  I was losing faith in the whole process (Lyme Stop), and was having anxiety over seeing Dr. Smith for my Lyme-Stop Treatment […]

You Rip What You Sew

You Rip What You Sew – Unwarranted Confidence: My second set of curtains ever was almost finished. I thought, “Wooohooo, three panels down and one to go.” I held up the panel I was working on and realized I had folded the seam the wrong way and sewed it up. I held up the last […]
