are the two words
I've come up with
to describe my
2010
resolutions.
I'm striving for more discipline in my
homemaking tasks,
time management,
health & fitness
scripture study,
and my
thoughts & words.
This may sound like a lot but the key here is
purpose.
With a desired outcome in mind,
it's much easier to choose action vs. idleness.
I'm by no means a lazy person,
but with no 'boss' to answer to all day,
it can be tempting to start slackin'.
When my day starts feeling
'hum drum' or my job seems unglamorous,
I'll read this quote and remember I landed the best job ever!
"The homemaker has the ultimate career.
All other careers exist for one purpose only -
and that is to support the ultimate career. "
- C.S. Lewis
Let's make one thing clear though...
Pony tails and flip flops are still my friends.
I'll still be rockin' lounge pants
and jumping on facebook now and then but
all things in moderation right?
I'm currently reading
Me and My Big Mouth
and finding it to be very helpful.
Our thoughts and words are so powerful,
Obviously if we want to change our words
we need to first change our thoughts.
Change is never easy,
I am sure to fall short but
I take comfort in knowing that He will make up the difference.
Ephesians 3:20
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.
