a misspent life

"a perfectly kept house is the sign of a misspent life."
- mary randolph carter


these three books are definitely three of my all time favorites.  i've always loved home design... from the days of creating homes for my "little people" with blocks... til now and trying to put together an inviting, comfortable home.  however, as i do love home design, home decor, etc. etc. etc.... i never want this to become who i am or what i'm known for.  we were talking about our pursuits in church on sunday night and as i've thought about this in the past, it came to mind again.  it is obvious, at least at times, that i am deliberate about investing in my home, but is it obvious that i am deliberate about pursuing my Savior?

i don't know what much else to say, which is amazing since i can definitely be long-winded on here... but i think the concept is simple and obvious.  am i spending my life running after and following God or am i investing in something that will simply pass away with this world?  i do not want to live a misspent life.
