It has been more than 10 years since the birth of my first child, 5 for the 2nd, nearly 3 for my 3rd and 19weeks since the birth of my 4th child. It has also been 11 years since my husband and I got married, and almost 15 years since my husband and I met online! WOW! Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday I was pregnant with my first child. But as I see each of my child in various ages and activities, I realize just how precious life is. It goes by all too quickly.
Each day seems to go by quicker than before. Between school, extracurricular activities, Church, group activities, cleaning house, laundry, driving to and from places it seems like every minute of the day is spent doing something. But is it being done effectively? Are you managing your minutes effectively? So many days it seems like I am doing something but nothing gets done! That is quite frustrating for this mother of 4 children.
Lorrie Flem, a mother of 8, also had to deal with managing her minutes. She wants to help mothers so much that she wrote a book about time management. "Managing My Minutes. Do I Really Need to?" was written to help give guidance to moms about how scheduling will help you accomplish more with your time.
I can't tell you how much I needed to read this. It gives so much inspiration and hope that I know I can do it! But it won't just be through my own strength, it will be with God's help! For it says in Philippians 4:13 "I can do ALL things through CHRIST who strengthens me." (NKJV) I have struggled with schedules and routines. Reading and coming to understand that I am not the only one is refreshing. Not that I delight in others troubles, but knowing I am not alone is somewhat helpful.
Lorrie gives some GREAT Biblical advice and support for schedules. You maximize your time when you are on a schedule. She explains the difference between schedules and routines and how to implement them. I feel so much better having read this and am now ready to tackle the scheduling of my family. This is something that we shouldn't be afraid to do. It will not only benefit you but others as well. When everyone is on track there seems to be more time. I can't WAIT to get the rest of this bundle so I can work on my schedule! :)
"Managing My Minutes. Do I Really Need To?" is part of Lorrie's Scheduling Bundle. The bundle has 3 parts to it and this is just one of them. It is due out in the Eternal Encouragement store SOON! As soon as it arrives there I will post the link for the actual product.
UPDATE: The product is now live! :) Here is the link as promised. http://www.attentionmoms.com/
