Whole Heartily

 We finally have internet again, so I'm going to make an attempt to do more blogging. I'm really enjoying our new home. We were quite crowded in the other house and it makes things easier when you have the room to organize in a better way. I am still trying to decide what sort of things I would like to post about on this blog as a wife, mom, homemaker and a daughter of the King. I definately want it to inspire others in a positive way and also be a motivation to myself in the role God has placed me.
 We have all heard the saying "home is where the heart is." Well, I believe also that our hearts should be where the home is. Does that make sense to you? What I mean by that anyway is that our homes are important and deserve our attention. The noun definition of home is the place where one lives permanently,  as a member of a family or household. To me that means our home is not just our house, it is our family. This is why our homes need love and attention! 
 There are so many things we often just see as chores. This is where God has begun to give me a different view. Sometimes we might feel like the things we do are pointless and unappreciated. We repeat the same "duties" and "chores" over and over and you haven't got anything to show for it. Sounds pretty borring when put that way, doesn't it? My goal is to change that way of thinking! Everything we do can be exciting, when we are first of all doing what God called us to do and then see everything as a way of serving and loving God. I don't feel excited about  all my work but I have come along way and my heart is here at home more than ever. There were trials God allowed in my life this year that brought me a long way with these things.
 I will close for now, but hope I have visitors here from time to time and would love to see some comments!

 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,  knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for[ you serve the Lord Christ.
