Sometimes I get great ideas in my head of how I think things should be. I want to be more organized so I try to incorporate lists and schedules and new ways of doing things, only to find myself going back to what works. You know what that is? Taking each day for what it is and making the best of it.
I will never be Betty Crocker, all together Alice, or organized Ophelia. I am me. My family is real. We try our best. We make mistakes, and then we do our best to fix them and move on.
My house is lived in. It isn't fancy, and it doesn't look like something you'd see in Better Homes and Garden magazine. You know what? I'm fine with that! I like coming home and instantly feeling loved and comfortable to be here. My hope is that anyone who comes over feels the same way.
Lately I've been spending time looking at different websites to get ideas on how to improve the way I do things. I save recipes, design ideas, pictures and suggestions thinking that I might actually make some of the plans that I've seen. Ha! Then life happens and I'm back where I started...
This morning it dawned on me that it's okay! What truly matters to me is that I honor God with the way I live my life. I want to show that He is what matters most. I want my family to know that how we dress and what material things we own have no eternal value. There is nothing wrong with the blessings that come to us in life, however, "things" aren't as important as God.
We have enough. We are enough. Because God is enough.
