Proverbs 16:3

I had a friend tell me once that she has to pray and give her day to the Lord before her feet even hit the ground.  Since I'm trying to form a new/better habit of praying and mediating on Scripture, I downloaded a book of missionary stories with devotionals to go through before my feet hit the ground in morning.

Today's verse was Proverbs 16:3, it could not have been more fitting.  God's timing is amazing and I truly needed to "hear" and chew on this verse today.  It says, "Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established."  It has challenged me on several levels today.  One thing it has really made me contemplate is...how often do I give God my work and/or do my work for Him?  I honestly got more done today than the last few days because my "work" didn't seem as much of a burden.  I was also extremely grateful, as I thought of this verse throughout the day, that I get to do my "work" at home.  How many mommies out there don't have the luxury, but would love to be at home full time?!  I'm already excited about tomorrow's verse!  I bet my kids would even say I was a calmer mom today.  :D

Today consisted of a lot of cleaning, organizing, and picture hanging.  It's surprising how much I got done and how much still needs done and I didn't touch one single unpacked box today of which about 10 remain.  The hall bathroom and laundry bathroom are now completely cleaned, organized, and wall deco done!  I also hung quite a few random things, but my favorite one to hang was T's Navy shadow box in the living room. I've been looking forward to having a Navy wall for T for quite some time...so, this brought so much joy to me! 

Here's a sneak peak of a few walls now done as we slowly get settled into this house and it slowly becomes our home.
