After taking a break from the busy summer and a very busy start to our fall, I am ready to have clear goals for myself and family. I find I get more done when I take time to write down what I want to accomplish. Here are my goals for this week:
Personal:
- Exercise 5 times this week
- Devotion daily
- One new recipe, sewing pattern, or craft
Family:
- 5 days of preschool with the girls
- Make my husband sandwiches every day he needs them (this has been an issue in our marriage and I've decided it is so stupid and I need to show him love and appreciation for him by making sandwiches no matter how tired I am at night)
Around the house:
- Complete my weekly cleaning list
- Leave the kitchen clean every night
- Have the girls do one chore every day
The past few months found me so much busier then I could have imagined. We had family come visit for 2 weeks, which kept me busy, but in a good way. I became the new Sunday School Coordinator at our church, which has taken up a lot of extra time that I didn't expect. At home we have started our preschool homeschooling.
Today I just wanted to share a quick bit of insight. God lays things on our hearts in so many different ways. This morning I woke up dreaming about the Sunday School Christmas program. I have been feeling like God's been laying on my heart to make it simple and just tell the story of Jesus birth. This morning I finally had a clear vision of how to do that in a fun way. What this means is, I am writing my own Christmas play.
I love to write but am always worried what people might think. I never thought God would lay on my heart to write a play that will be seen by a full audience of parents and grandparents. But since God called me to do this, he will take my fear away.
Have you felt God calling you to do something? I didn't know if I could take over running our Sunday School program. I'm younger then the teachers, what do I know about running an entire program? God called me to do this and I have the best teaching staff. Without them and their insights, I couldn't do it. God has called us to do small things and great things. Don't ignore his calling or you will miss a chance to be greatly blessed.
