Ok for this post Read the devotion Hang Up Your Robe Fri, June 4 from Proverbs 31 first...the Lord has been convicting me to follow through with projects. I have been hearing it in sermons, seeing it in devotions. I am not a naturally born domestic engineer. In fact the main reason I wanted to attend college when I was younger was to avoid having to cook and clean as much.
However, when Emily was born the Lord used the circumstances in my life to show me how to stay home with my children. It has been extremely difficult forgoing personal, financial, and career goals to essentially watch my children grow. It has saved my life in a whole different way I never imagined. I have learned more about the Lord in these last 4 years than ever before. I would like to give humongous kudos to my hubby who at one point almost worked himself to death to allow this to happen.
My domestic training had been interesting to say the least and definitely ongoing I will never be Suzie Homemaker or Martha Stewart but I am definitely the best version of Shelly Kratt that I can be (on most days). I mean now at least our parents aren't afraid to come inside our home(unlike the old college days HA!)
The structure of the post above is simply take care of the little things; take a little extra time to do things like hanging your bath robe up, making your bed, putting your shoes away, etc and the little piles won't turn into gigantic mountains! I am always looking for helpful housekeeping tidbits :)
