Sometimes it feels like I clean my hardest only for it to not appear like I've not done anything a few hours later.
God, please grant me your peace and contentment as I go through another day of homemaking and mothering.
I'm focusing more these days on what is right in front of me now, and not dividing my attention. I've found the same thing, a greater peacefulness, and more effectiveness.
Much love!
I'm happy. This winter will be better than the hardship of last winter. I'm doing a lot better and will continue to do better. I am extremely blessed and our home is a sanctuary.
I had anxiety about how to balance everything at home. But it came with experience and work. Anxiety has given way to confidence.
I noticed when I think about the many times I seem to get into some kind of trouble, it's always when I am curious about something. Curiosity gets the better of me. I am a creative person, which means I can create what I believe to be a really good idea, sometimes without bringing it to God first to ensure it's something he wants me to do. It gets me into hot water every time I go ahead of him.
Learning how to wait upon the lord is a very difficult thing. Especially coming out of a pentecostal background where everything seems to be needed now or has to be done now. If you have ever been to a combined prayer meeting. You can tell which ones are the pentecostals. When silence is required and everyone is listening or meditating on the lord, Costals tend to speak, saying, "Glory to God, thank you, Jesus," or even begin to speak in tongues when we are all supposed to be still. Lol!
The struggle for me has always been between stepping out in faith, as some believe we must do when we get a revelation or word or waiting on the lord which is much smarter because then we will be led rather than taking the initiative.

I'm finding it more and more important not to overshare even good things in life that I'm working on. Most things will be obvious when done well---no need to announce anything. Also, the more I talk about what I'm going to do, the less I find myself actually doing it.
