Are you an organized person?
If you said no, do you want to be?
I wouldn't call myself a Martha Stewart, everything has the right bin that's labeled or a Tsh Oxenreider - Simple Mom who has the wonderful capability of only owning what she uses on a regular basis.
I'm just not there yet.
But I want to be.
Sure, I've struggled with finding the balance between not caring at all and caring too much. But as the Holy Spirit moves me to become more reliant on him in all my roles as Daughter of God, Wife, Mama, Friend, Servant - I've found I'm beginning to see how I can care for my family well by planning without going OCD on every little area.
A few areas I'm trying to be more organized in are:
- Working Out
- Cleaning
- Meal planning/buying/preparation
- Siena activities
- BE (a little acronym introcduced to us by our pastor this week, B is for Bles s and E is for eat)
Over the next few weeks I'm going to share with you what I've accomplished and see if anyone wants to join me in a few activities :).
So, this isn't about getting our homes completely organized and put away - although that's always a goal of mine. It's more about being organized mentally in areas of life that can easily bog you down.
What are a few areas you would like organized?
I'm organized in so many areas and then unorganized in so many. Lately I have to label everything and keep reminder notes everywhere or I forget SO easily. Seriously... its bad. My midwife says its nursing, but I don't know. I just feel like I'm slowly losing it :)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to these posts - because I can always learn to be more organized or ease up a bit with the labeling! ;-)
