Making the House More Livable

            I really feel that if I make my house more livable, the things I want to accomplish for my man, I will be able to accomplish more easily.  If I can accomplish them more easily, I can accomplish them more quickly and with just about zero frustration!  So, over two weeks ago, I began the mission.  I had a tentative goal by the end of that week to make our house more livable—the places for the items I use in the kitchen to be in places so that when they are needed, they can be grabbed easily.  I moved items around in the cupboard in the bathroom, so that the items used daily there are more accessible.  I organized the clothes in our closet so that locating what should be worn on a day is not frustrating!  I organized our diaper changing station, clearing the clutter out of that zone.

            By the end of last week, things were more organized (the house was more livable).  I wanted to post this a time ago but didn’t feel it (or me!) was ready!  A spot that is supposed to be normally very useful was not because of clutter.  Well, I have since, moved these items into a bag, and I plan to go through them and organize.

I am happy to make the house more livable because I see that it is staying within God’s favor.  God says in His Word in Ephesians 5:16 to redeem the time and that can be done easily when the house is more organized.  I feel that clearing out the clutter of what could slow me down is dedicating my house and life to serving my family.  I have thrown recently, a project that I began before I was married, a project which would take an extreme amount of dedication, and I am planning to give the time I had for the project to serving my family instead!  I hope that you are encouraged to dedicate more of yourself to your man!
