The Intentional Home

First of all let me say I am so sorry for not doing better updating the blog for that I truly apologize. Let me also say that I am glad April will be on the Intentional Home (looks like I need it I can’t get everything done) in a season of life that is extremely busy I find days running by before I seem to get out of bed. Sometimes I wonder if it is possible to get everything done. Do you ever feel that way? On Aril 27th we will meet at 7pm and our study will be on the Intentional Home and then we will be doing couponing etc….We hope to see you there!

Anyway, as I run from chore to chore, meal to meal, and ballet to gymnastics with a very fussy 15 month old in tow I look through my to do list with amazement of so many things to “work” on and I don’t even work. I always told Derek that when I became a stay at home mom I would be so organized and life would be “perfect” he always said he couldn’t wait. Well to be honest that just isn’t how most of my days are. I am not at the door to meet him with a kiss and a perfect dinner. I am at the door ready for him to take the kids and me to have 5 min. to go to the bathroom. I truly am sharing this with you and asking that as I study the intentional home that I will learn even more how to run my house as God intended. I was studying last night and God just really lay on my heart…Are you being intentional for me???? Wow, am I doing things each day that are intentional to my family’s well being spiritually? Am I reaching out to those around me? Is everything intentional for the sake and cause of Christ? The answer to that was no… but Lord I try to get me house cleaned and cook nutritious food for my family and and…..How convicting. I ask you over the next couple of weeks to think about how you want to make your home intentional! Whether we are Stay at home mom’s, retired, working or whatever our life’s role is we are the God given homemakers to our home and family. Are we creating an environment of refuge from the storm of life? Are we setting our home up to be open to show the Love of Christ? I ask you to ponder these thought as we prepare and study them on April 27th. And for those type A personalities we will also be sharing practical things of how to accomplish the intentional home. God bless each of you are in my thought and prayers often. Women’s Ministry is truly a passion of mine and if there is any thoughts or suggestions on how I can better serve and minister to you please share with me.

Love
Amanda
