Well it definitely helps to blog about your goals and then hit "publish" to the Internet! I was held accountable and accomplished a LOT on my clean out project today. Many thanks to my sweet mom for entertaining my "assistant" while I worked fast and furious! I still have two closets to go but have already finished 3. Over half way! Woohoo! I'll be ready for a garage sale when the cooler weather finally arrives.
Tonight I got out of the house for a little bit and went to Bible study. I was SO looking forward to it all day. It always refreshes me and as much as I love my precious family, I enjoy the hour and a half of "me time" where I can learn more about God's word without distractions.
Tonight's lesson was on Quiet Times. I have recently been committed to my quiet time and was so glad to get new ideas to incorporate. I find that first thing in the morning is the best time for me to do this. It's amazing how God has been continually waking me up at 6:30 so I can spend the time with Him before everyone else stirs. It amazes me that the Lord gives me the energy throughout the day to keep getting up earlier. I LOVE to sleep and it's hard for me to pull myself out of bed. But, I am such a better wife and mommy when I do. Having those moments with God first thing sets my attitude in the right direction- I can't promise I stay there all day (or even for 5 minutes some days) but it's the best chance I've got. I've seen Him answer my prayers too many times not to think this worthwhile.
