Good Monday morning ladies....Today is the first week of Courtney's over at Women Living Well Making Your Home a Haven Challenge. Here is this week's challenge: Let's work on being a Proverbs 14:1 woman. "The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down." Light a candle and begin praying over your home every time the glimmer of the candle catches your eye. Courtney gave each and everyone of us examples of two different household and I so much want to have the home of number 2 but sometimes I can be living in home number 1 but this week I will be working on giving my all and reminding myself that God give me my husband and family along with our home and it is my job to make it a haven for my family. I will be burning some vanilla candles that my family loves the smell of and as I burn this candle in the afternoons I will be praying for my family and I will also be using it as a reminder to also:
- Slow down and listen more to what my husband and children needs are
- Continuously praying for my marriage that it will always be pleasing to God the father
- Spending more time with my family instead of always trying to make sure that everything is on a perfect schedule. I need to relax more and let things go off of schedule sometimes because I miss a lot of family time.
Please join in with me and let's make our home a haven where our family loves to gather together and enjoy one another company and laugh and play and share God's word....

DeNiece~ I so much want to say that I live like the #2 home but to be honest I am currently the #1home. Striving to be the best at being the best Proverbs 31 wife I can be. Please keep me in your prayers to be more like the #2 and I will certainly keep you in mine.
Blessings,Joann
What a wonderful reminder! You have motivated me. I've been so busy taking care of things, that I forget to pray for our empty nest - I mostly pray for our little birds who have left the nest.
Thank you, DeNiece. Have a blessed week.

It can be soooo easy to get caught up with the fullness of days, that we find ourselves rushing through things just to keep pace...even our conversations and relationships. I hope to intentionally refocus on the Lord and prayer for peace this week, too.

I lit a candle in the kitchen and I like that every time I walk by, I say a prayer for my home and family...

we4bates has two videos titled, Gianna Jessen-abortion survivor. raggedycottageandgarden has a link to an article about unschooling that's worth reading.
Anonymous,
She doesn't moderate comments, so they gets posted immediately. Just wanted to let you know so you didnt' feel offended.
Deniece--You are such a joy. I find myself selfishly wishing you could come back to posting regularly, but I'm glad you have your priorities straight--making your home a haven is more important than a blog. Bless you, sweet sister!
Candles and soft music relax me so much! I need to buy a candle and I have the perfect place to put it. Now, just to have some extra cash. :) The Dollar Store may have to work for right now!

I just found a candle that had a votive in it and I lit it. I'm going to post it on my blog.
What a beautiful idea.
Love, Cass
(I'm working on the music... I don't have anything that plays music except my computer and it doesn't play loud enough to hear it very well)
