I know chore charts are what's going to keep things rolling here, and getting the kids involved. It's been too long in coming! <br /><br />Tonia, thank you for sharing what works for you and your family...no computer, etc. This is something I actually did today! Yeah!<br /><br />You're right, Ginger...peace must begin with ME...that is something that I'm missing and why I have begun this journey on this blog. I have not had much peace lately...struggling with depression...something I struggle with off and on, and I may post on that some day. Again, thank you to all of you!

I am finding it hard right now to keep everything together, with the addition of the three kids to the house. But thankfully they are use to doing chores and haveing a chore chart, so I only have to remind them a couple of times to get chores done. Our job as Biblical women is to keep the home a peaceful place where our kids can learn about God and our husbands can relax. But peace in our homes HAS to start with peace in ourselves. The only way for us to find that peace IS through God. Then we just let it over flow and everything gets done!Ginger Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645706503663633104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836586983059491925.post-16316758735363058442011-02-17T12:10:22.717-08:002011-02-17T12:10:22.717-08:00A list to get the priorties right and it takes 21 ...A list to get the priorties right and it takes 21 days to form a habit good or bad.. So it will take you at least 21 days of being behind the kids every step of the way to get things done. Sounds exhausting and it can be but its is worth it when they start doing their chores as a habit with out being told. Mine get no computer time or anything leisurely till all chores are done which take less than 2 hours each morning inside and outside chores. Then they go on to school work if its a school day. When all the have tos are done then it can be the fun stuff...<br /> You can do it! I have always been a go with the flow type person but that has only made my life more stressful and over the years I have gotten it together for something that works for us. <br /> Keeping God in it and Keeping It Simple is what works the best for us..Toniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223141257252367520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836586983059491925.post-55550086384004041342011-02-17T09:36:31.625-08:002011-02-17T09:36:31.625-08:00Hi Shari.

I remember a saying "Just do the next thing". I think it is part of a poem from Elizabeth Elliot, but not sure. Would have to research that one :)Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807434285554893291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836586983059491925.post-26888514273614805312011-02-17T08:29:41.116-08:002011-02-17T08:29:41.116-08:00Good Morning..
