This week's House of Grace's challenge is to Organize Your Priorities. This is a great challenge that I think will help so much fall into place...even the previous challenges of organizing my mind and schedule. How would I know what to schedule if I haven't decided what is most important to me...so I'm all over this.
Some Questions:
What and who is most important to me?
That would be God and my family...hands down. Close like-family friends are up there as well.
What motivates me?
Making people feel comfortable, loved and welcomed. I love for my family to be comfortable in our home and know that it's a loving and cozy place to be. I also enjoy for guests to feel welcome when they step into my home.
What do I want to accomplish in my life?
Giving glory to God first...trying to be more like Him. I also want to set a foundation for my children, to love Christ, to be ambitious and to make wise decisions. I also want to be more financially secure and teach my children how to be good stewards.
And I want to learn to sew :)
If I could change anything in my life what would it be?
To be debt free!
1. My walk with Christ. It is the foundation of who I am and who I am growing to be.
2. My husband...my best friend. I need to be his biggest supporter and cheerleader.
3. My children...to mold them, to love on them, to be there for them and love them unconditionally.
4. My family/close like-family friends...these are the people who hold me up. I desire to be there for them for support as well and to show them thoughtfulness.
5. My church. This is a hard one because I don't live close to my church, but I need to find a way to serve there more. I love my church and it offers so much to me and my family that I need to give back.
6. My home/organization. This is the year to whip my house into a home. As you can see I'm on a quest to be more organized and have more of a routine. This will free me up to focus more on my other priorities.
7. My health. This will be a long journey, but very necessary.
8. Blogging. Sounds funny right, but the blog world is definitely one of my biggest outlets. I learn so much, get encouraged greatly and have met some wonderful friends. I don't mind dedicating time to this as long as it doesn't interfere with my #1 priority (as I talked about here).
9. Reading. I love to read, but lately I have not made the time. Reading is another outlet and I also believe it sharpens your mind and allows you to explore things you would not otherwise explore. My plan is to dive back into reading.
10. Stampin Up!/Scrapbooking. What can I say...I love to stamp. I love to hand someone a card that I've made. I love to gather with friends and craft. I also want to get better about scrapbooking more and preserving these days with my kids...because they grow so fast.

What a great list of priorities! Life seems to get in the way here and I fall short on things that are or at least should be important to me. Thank you for the reminder to get my list back on track!
This is a fabulous list! Well done! :o)
Great list! Thanks so much for following along. I love reading these kinds of posts!
