Open House Date Moved to Fridays! This mom needs to keep the Sabbath!

Last Monday night after my first Open House I was pooped! I shouldn't have been surprised because I usually do that after company is over-do you? I think the combination of on the go activities during the weekend with family and commitments, Sunday Worship and Awanas, recovering from colds, holiday stuff, plus Open House-Closet work, etc just hit me this week. I don't know about you but it was time to get back to routine-believe or not I find comfort in schedules.

Something was eating me last week about this and I wanted to pray on it. Was I keeping the Sabbath? NO, not like I should. My mind was cluttered all weekend about my project when I need to be enjoying my family and God's Day. Mondays are so busy too with Powerhour Clean up (getting house back together from weekend) -running errands, preparing weekly menu, shopping day, chasing a toddler, homework for children , etc. So I need my strength!! I thought it was my procrastination side that got the best of me with the closet so I worked much better during the week on the desk. I've spent about 3 1/2 hours on it so far. After a week of prayer on it and one crazy weekend (Birthday Party Central), I decided to let God pick the day other than Monday. I should have done that at the beginning. With help from one of my daughters I put some of the days of the week in my hand, prayed on them and the Lord chose (with Abby assisting) FRIDAYS as Open House Days! I even had Fridays on my mind-YEAH- this also won't interrupt the beginning of the work week and disturb folks. Its hard enough just to focus on Mondays! So thank you for understanding and I will see you all Friday with the second Open House!

So have a great week and remember keep the Sabbath!

For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days; then rested on the seventh day. (Exodus 20:11)
