Today is Thursday, May 22nd. I have been placing many powerful words on my heart this week. The bible verse from Isaiah 40:31 speaks to my heart. My life is wonderful and very full to overflowing with mothering, to do lists, housework and homemaker projects. My energy level and strength are daily challenged by my very busy life. Isaiah 40:31 holds a wonderful promise from God.
They who wait for the Lord
shall renew their strength,
they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint.
These are very powerful words indeed!
I often become very overwhelmed with all that must be done, all I would love to do for my family and of course the housework. I see it as a whole. I become befuddled and exhausted in my thinking of where I should even begin. Many times I am stressed out by the clutter in my house and my long to do lists.
Just yesterday some wonderful words of practical wisdom crossed my path. The finely written words of Mark Twain came down from the ages and landed on the Coffee News I picked up on impulse at an eatery at Sunday brunch.
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of
getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one."- Mark Twain
This wonderful advice is very practical and oh so true. I will apply this wisdom to my homemaking project.
Now I am starting today to totally declutter my home. Room by room I am throwing out or donating the items that do not bless our home or family. ( Home blessing direction from
FlyLady). This endeavor will be months in accomplishing. I will share my achievements as I declutter.
