The Drama Lama comes knocking...Don't let it in!

The Drama Lama has come to my home knocking at my door many times in the last few days. This could have been a real soul sucking, energy sucking, and stressing causing time for me but I am proud to announce that NO I didn't not let the Lama in! I did not react nor add to the Lama's Drama.

With the new year or any other normal day comes great change if you want it. How bad to you want to change your life to the better and follow in the Lord's words and ways. I know I do and I am trying my best to live a Holy life and set a great example these days.

Titus women do not go from house to house spreading gossip. They can listen and support and direct but they do not repeat what they have heard. Such peace has come over me with this way of living. It's really nice to know that nothing you say will service to bite you in the butt in the end. To embarrass you or allow you to look stupid and mean and uncaring if you live this way.

Even the hint or the non direct leaving out names story can lead to assumption and even greater damage! PLUS.... we all know the little saying of what "assume" means! It's better just not to speak at all at times. :-)

Focus on your family and your husband. Focus on your home and your Godly works. Focus on you studies and your hobbies. DON'T focus on others speaking of others.

Remember " you need to pull the log out of your eye before you point out the splinter in someone else's eye!"

Don't forget to write in your journals and spend time with the Lord.

Set Your Goal. Step one.

Have you ever sat back and just looked around at your home and thought of your life and how it ended up? Do you like it or not? Do you just like some of it and dislike the rest? If you have not thought about it then take some time and just do that.

When I did this I learned that God has placed me in a wonderful marriage with great children. I am able to be a stay at home mother and wife, which I truly adore this lifestyle. But, I am unhappy with the way my house tends to be unkempt. That my ability to let go of the clutter is to difficult  for me. It's like a big black hole sucking me in and draining me of life. It causes arguments with my husband. It causes me to be a hypocrite to my children when I ask them to clean their rooms. It causes me to feel embarrassed and to lie by making up excuses to help "  please excuse the mess" which is a sin. It even causes me to be stressed out and late for events.

This is not what I want! I want to feel happy, comfy and content in my home as well as I know you do too!

But how can this happen? How can I create a home environment that is welcoming,, clean, organized and still have time to sleep and breath?

Well it's easy, I just keep telling myself over and over again. " You need to take baby steps and let it all go that you don't need all these things to simplify and organize." Like the Little Engine that could " I think I can, I think I can, I know I can, I know I can..."

I will do this! You can follow along as I break down each area of a mother's daily life, a homemaker's daily life, a wife's daily life. a woman's daily life and a Godly daily life.
