Day 5 – Keeping It Organized Today is an easy day. The previous day was tough and you made it through. If you have anything left to finish, go ahead and do that now. Pick up any mess your family has made in the last 24 hours. Run the vacuum in your clean new family room; straighten a pillow or two. Or, just stand back and admire how amazing it looks. 🙂 Next, why not REWARD yourself for your determination with a little change of scenery — and do a little shopping!?! Head to a Super Store, an office supply store or your favorite storage specialty store and have some…

How Often Should I Pray?
There’s many verses from God’s Word on prayer, but perhaps you’re wondering, “How often should I pray?” We never seem to question how often we should nourish our body with food. For me, it’s around three times per day, but there’s times we may miss breakfast or another meal. We definitely feel the hunger pains if we skip eating for very long. One way or the other, as you can see it’s a continual process of nourishing ourselves. Another question to consider is how often do we talk with our friends? Those with whom we have the best relationships — there’s often a frequent communication pattern involved. We know Daniel…

Home Organization Series – The Family Room – Day 4
Day 4 – The Family Room Today we are tackling one of the messiest rooms in the house. The Family Room. Take a deep breath and let’s get to it!! Grab four tubs or boxes and label them: “Toss”, “Donate”, “Keep” and “Relocate”. Keep is for items that will stay in this room. Relocate is for things that need to go somewhere else in the house. Starting in a corner, work your way around the room. Clear off the top of each horizontal surface and empty out every drawer. Put the items in the appropriate bins. (Toss and Donate are self-explanatory.) ==>> Be strict with yourself about what you keep.…

Start Over… Back to the Beginning
In the beginning… it all started with God. God created the heavens and the earth. A perfect, beautiful world was created for us. And God saw that everything He made was very good. (Genesis 1:31) It wasn’t long until man yielded to temptation and sinned. Was it murder that caused Adam and Eve their first downfall? No. Was it a terrible lie that they told? No. It was an act of disobedience of eating from the tree which God had told them was completely off limits. (Genesis 2:17) Adam and Eve had many good choices from delicious fruit trees, but obviously they weren’t content with only those choices. Let’s not…

Home Organization Series – The Formal Living Room – Day 3
Day 3 – Formal Living Room Today we’re going to work on organizing the formal living room in your house. If you think there’s not much to clean and sort through, you’re probably right …and wrong. Most formal spaces are already neat as a pin. We don’t live in those rooms; sometimes we don’t even enter them. We tend to hide our chaos and clutter in the back of the house, in the rooms most guests don’t see. That’s fine. But, we are on this mission to organize our homes and taking a day for this room is still extremely useful. Decluttering… If you have clutter or objects that do…
