A special Prayer...

"For God is not the author of confusion but of peace..." I Corinthians 14:33

It almost seems overwhelming to regain order and structure in my house after I've let a lot of things go for so long, but I still believe I can get us back on track with a lot of effort and a lot of prayer.
Please pray for me this week while I try to cut out the "nonsense" in my life and focus on whats important.
Order and structure in,
spending quality time with Abby, Abbys bedtime routine and discipline.
I need to restructure my sleeping schedule, meal planning and grocery shopping, rethink the amount and importance of errands I run during the week.
Cut down on Tv and computer time and crafting time. Try to maintain an overall peaceful and less-stressed atmosphere in our home.
I think even with a christian husband guiding the family, a lot of the household structure is up to the woman of the house. We set the tone for the whole family. The mood of the rest of our family even depends on what kind of mood we wake up in. It's a great responsibility but I don't think any woman is truly happy until she has surrendered to her God given duty to make her home a resting place for all who enter.

Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

Proverbs 31:25-27
