New Year, New You


The new year is upon us and if you're like me you have made some goals and resolutions. I've decided to pick the word "CONSISTENCY" as my theme this year. I will be working on "CONSISTENCY" in all areas in my life. (My second word is PATIENCE which will have to be helped simultaneously.)


This year I will put effort into being consistent with:

  • daily Bible/quiet time
  • working out
  • drinking my water
  • keeping my house clean and organized
  • disciplining the children
  • bedtimes (mine included)
  • staying on schedule
  • reading every night to the children
  • being an example for my children

These are in no particular order, but all in much needed effort. I thought I have put in lots of effort in years past but I was relying on my own strength. "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Phil.4:13

How funny we try to accomplish things on our own and waste so much time. You see, that's where the impatience comes bursting in. I AM IMPATIENT. But, I remember how PATIENT the Lord is with me and I remember everything is in good timing.

I'd love to hear some of your goals or resolutions for the year and how you will plan to meet them.



Blessings,



Sofie

Welcome to 1 Homeschool Mommy!

This is a blog I have created to share with other moms and wives. I feel we have a sisterhood in Christ that we should be embracing and uplifting eachother and to help those other women who need strength, words of wisdom and to know that they aren't going at it alone.

I want to be encouraging and hope you will share your encouragement with others!

Here you'll find the joys and frustrations of our days as I attempt to train and instruct my children in the way that they should go and to be a good servant and share His blessings.
