Well, here I am and it is Friday again. Time truly does fly. I am not sure what was accomplished this week. We have mended some relationship issues, talked over many others, and washed all the laundry. There it sits, on the couch. We exercised, built a snowman (which melted), made cookies for the mailman, and bought groceries. They sit on the table waiting for me to put them away. I am laughing now. We do get things done, and I try to maintain a schedule, but all seems to go off track with just one thing that is unexpected. I wonder if anyone has a schedule that works for them and still allows them to enjoy their family and the freedoms this life offers in Christ? Could I please meet that lady? I feel that she would be an asnwer to prayer. I desire to structure my day according to the way God wants me to. I am not quite clear on how to do that. Now that my husband is not here for most of the day I feel like I am back to the kindergarten of being a wife and mother. It is so funny!! I am sure that as I pray about these things God will reveal to me what He has. God is so good. I will try to gear up for the new week and hope and pray for joy to be the theme of our week. I feel like I am ever learning...always at the Lord's feet!! What a wonderful place to be..... |

Regarding schedules. Flylady changed my life! Just go to Flylady.net and start taking flybaby steps. I've been flying for about 2 years now and even my way of thinking about "stuff" has changed. It has really helped me to simplify my life in many ways. Now, I can pretty much get stuff done on Autopilot, no stress and my friends always comment that I always have a clean house (which is not true!) but it appears that way because of the routines I finally have in place and lack of clutter after ridding half of our possessions (seriously--half). Now I am helping my neighbor declutter 15 minutes per day. For some the decluttering is the key, for others it is just the routine. Okay, I'm not a paid rep, I just really love flylady! I'll pray for God's guidance...blessings!
