Set Your Goal. Step one.
Have you ever sat back and just looked around at your home and thought of your life and how it ended up? Do you like it or not? Do you just like some of it and dislike the rest? If you have not thought about this than take a second and just do that.
When I do this I learned that God has placed me in a loving marriage with three wonderful children. I am able to be a stay at home wife and mother and I just adore it! But please don't think for one second that it is easy or without a cost.
Sadly though I am unhappy with the way the house tends to get messy. That my ability to let go of the clutter is difficult for me. It's like a big black hole that keeps sucking me in and draining me of life. It causes arguments with my husband and it causes me to be a hypocrite when I ask my children to go clean their rooms. It also causes embarrassment and lies or excuses to form when guest come over. Which is a sin.
It has even caused me to be completely stressed out and late for events.
This is NOT what I want! Who does right?! I want to feel happy, comfy and content in my home as I know you do too!
But how can this happen? How can I create a home environment that is welcoming, clean, organized and still have time to sleep and breath.
Well it's easy....I just keep telling myself to "take baby steps and let it go." Like the Little Engine That Could...." I think I can, I think I can... I know I can, I know I can!"
I will do this and you can follow along as I break down the areas of a mothers daily life, a homemaker's daily life, a wife's daily life, a woman's daily life, a Godly daily life and more.
Don't forget to spend time with the Lord.
