It gave me courage to strive harder to be that kind of woman. I have followed your journey. I have laughed with you and cried with you.

I think more than knowing the chores are done, it's the knowledge and blessing of following God's word. His plan and direction leads us, not only to satisfaction but to contentment. Blessings to you as you continue to follow the Lord's path.<br /><br />JocelynJocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714577523744715551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-40794877650295980122016-04-11T09:58:05.956+10:002016-04-11T09:58:05.956+10:00What a blessed life you have to be able to work at...What a blessed life you have to be able to work at home.

After the homeschooling routines finished - it has become so different - Hannah gone to study - then me working and then not working - so now I need another go at a routine that will work for the next year. It sure has been unsettling!

I am a morning person and I am able to do chores for about 4 - 5 hours and then I am done. My mind can still go but it is my physical self that gives me issues. In the afternoon I go swimming and that helps me. Love your prospective of things. I need to improve on my prayers in the morning to set them aside for my children and those in need.http://thankfullga447https://www.blogger.com/profile/09752118265182467689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-65765330181252862482016-04-11T01:06:45.868+10:002016-04-11T01:06:45.868+10:00Jenny, I am so joyful that you have found your rou...Jenny, I am so joyful that you have found your routine that works well and accomplishes it all in a manner that works and does reduce stress and anxiety.

Since I retired a few years ago, I have found that it's so much easier for me have certain household tasks for every day of the week, Monday through Friday, whereas when I worked, all of that would be condensed into one frenetic day. My afternoons are reserved for sewing, shopping, appointments, etc. This provides balance to my days, and I feel much less overwhelmed. Many thanks to you again for sharing your insights. I look forward to each and every post!Debranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-70167066981134146652016-04-10T21:55:02.991+10:002016-04-10T21:55:02.991+10:00I am retired, and find I think I have lots of time...I am retired, and find I think I have lots of time when in fact I am not getting on with things.

I agree with you that life is simpler and higher quality. I also know, from experience, that if the work is away from home all is more difficult, but also more luxurious.<br />Prayer is the way to face decisions and find the proper way.<br />Definitely.<br />Have a nice day.

My poor husband ends up coming home from work and doing all those things as by that time in the evening I'm burnt out from trying to start my new business from home! I feel guilty but you really have encouraged me to re prioritise! Thank you, I never read blogs, find them hard to follow as so not a IT person, but LOVE YOURS!

You could always use it for contemplation and prayer. I don't mean this to be a negative comment, it is just that I love you so much as a friend and I admire you so much, you do need time for yourself too. Thank you so much for these posts, they mean a lot to me and give me a chance to think deeply about things. You are an inspiration to me.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439426900538969302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-20156242058082015172016-04-10T13:01:58.634+10:002016-04-10T13:01:58.634+10:00Its funny, I have recently passed 12 months runnin...Its funny, I have recently passed 12 months running a business from home and have been chasing my tail the whole time. I'm also studying business management from home and my assignment this week is to set a schedule each night for the following day. I'm so looking forward to this as I desperately need help with my job, my home, my sewing, my study, working husband and 2 teenage boys.

Your post has encouraged me to try to figure out how to keep my home things under control and in balance with my job. An earlier start to the day might be in order.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349245432064792320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-24590042705450119802016-04-10T12:33:06.907+10:002016-04-10T12:33:06.907+10:00Isn't it amazing that when we follow the Lord&...Isn't it amazing that when we follow the Lord's plan in ANYTHING, our lives run more smoothly?

My housework is minimal [boys are still home and still have chores] but I've set aside certain days for menu planning for the following week, and making a grocery list - we shop on the same day every week - chores are done first [can't even think straight unless the bed is made, lol]. I even started to do this with my sewing! Mondays are for drawing and tracing, etc. Now if I could just get my sleeping hours under control, I'd be all set, lol!!!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.com
