Prepare every needful thing~
I feel so unorganized in my life right now. Everything from eating habits to cleaning my house just isn't working for me. I need a change and I need one quick. I have been thinking a lot lately about Doctrine and Covenants 88:119 (organize yourselves and prepare every needful thing). About a year ago I stopped working a desk job to stay home and take care of my kids. This has been such a blessing in our family and so necessary. The only problem is I am used to working full time and being so busy that I often find myself getting short with the kids or annoyed with everything they do. This is my journey to organize my life. Each day will be dedicated to something or some type of project to work on. It could be the same one from the prior week or a new one. Really going off D&C 88:119 which reads~ Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God; Monday- prepare every needful thing (such as emergency prep., food storage and preparing for the week etc.) Tuesday- a house of faith, glory, fasting and prayer Wednesday- establish a house of learning Thursday- a house of order Friday- a little family fun Saturday- Organize yourselves (taking care of yourself such as diet and exercise) Sunday- a house of God Lets see were this journey takes my little family. I am very busy but I feel strongly that if I can stick to this and really try that I will be able to find time for myself and find time for my family. I can't promise there will be no spelling errors or grammer errors as this is just not my cup of tea......... well never has been!

ReplyDeleteoh..and don't even worry about spelling or grammar.. when i write on that blog? or any blog? i don't really care. i just write to get it all out. one of my teachers had us do that in school..just write and don't stop or worry about spelling for like ten minutes a day. it felt so good and was such a stress reliever.
you are amazing. i love you! so happy we are sisters!
