Managing Life

Thursday, October 23, 2008

I know I haven't posted much of my thoughts lately. Life has been full and there is much my heart and mind are chewing on.

I am not by nature a disciplined person, I have never followed the same routine every morning (except for hitting snooze) or any day. I just go with the flow for each day. It is something I strive to improve in my life because I know I can't always do or not do based on my feelings. Recently as I read a friends blog, I began to think about the idea of being the "manager" of my home. I have never really looked at it from that perspective and as I thought about the Proverbs 31 woman, I realized that was exactally what she did. She organized and managed the household and provisions her husband provided. As I began praying through this and processing this we started a series at church on our finances and being good stewards of what God has given us. This past Sunday we discussed how each decision is a spritual decision and that we are not the owners of our things and money, we are simply the managers. So right now I am just praying through every part of my life and asking for God to show me how I can better manage each area, especially my time, money and my home.

Life in general is good for us. Fall is always full, especially this year with two of Bryan's brothers getting married. Admist the busyness though I am blessed and thankful to have so many wonderful people in my life that keep me busy.
