Accomplishment: 15 minutes.. hand washed another load of dishes (I only have another 3 or 4 more to go to get caught back up!) and cleaned/ filled water container in fridge.
DH and I have been happily married since 2005. We have no children yet. I am a homemaker. I believe that the home is my first priority whether or not I have an outside job. I believe that God sees how you handle the little things before He entrusts you with bigger things. Homemaking is my daily challenge. I accept the challenge ....... Bring it!
"Before the long dreams of eternity flowed,
He stood matchless, alone and sufficient.
And out of the Word of His speaking made light, life, and time, made all things.
So that over all living
He might justly command our obedience.
He is beyond time, more brilliant that light.
In Him is no darkness at all.
Shackled by our selfish lusts to be gods,
we stand powerless, alone and despondent.
And only beginning to fathom
the majesty and flawless power of this highest of judges, and His right to condemn us to sorrow.
For we disobey, and we smother the light
and the darkness falls over all.
Holy One who made time and the light and all things-
Brilliant paradox, transcendent judge, who promises undeserved mercy to your servants, flawed as we are!
Holy Speaker, Shaliyah,
with your own hands lift us past sorrow, to your land beyond time, where you are the light.
And there is no darkness at all."
--Kathy Tyers ('Crown of Fire')
