Create easy life-giving rhythms for your home!

*Do you wish you could finally implement the things you know you "should" do but can't seem to keep doing in order to peacefully manage your home?

*Are you unmotivated, frustrated, and disappointed in yourself because you feel you continually fall short, repeatedly fail, and are "never enough"?

*Do you just crave some breathing room from the physical and mental clutter in your life?

Hi, I'm Cindy--married over forty years, mom to eight, and veteran homeschooler for thirty years. Most importantly, I'm a daughter of the Most High. Still, running our home during those years of child-raising was a challenge, and I didn't always do it well.

I read the books, went to the seminars, listened to the programs, but nothing seemed to work for me and our particular family. I did the systems, worked the 3x5 cards, and filled out the planners. But sometimes I would miss a day (or a week), and the house would descend into chaos, the self-condemnation would roll in, and the tears would flow. Afraid I would ruin everything and everyone by my poor habits and therefore fail in my God-given responsibilities to honor my husband and raise children who loved the Lord, I would shout to myself, "I've GOT to get a handle on this!"

Finally, I saw that the pressure of the world--even the Christian culture--was stronger than I had realized, and that I simply was not created to be like anyone else. Although tips and hints helped in managing our home, what eventually worked long-term was discovering that God made me to be ME--unique in demeanor, thinking, and capability--and that I was most at peace when I consciously incorporated that uniqueness into my everyday life with my one-of-a-kind family.

I found that I could simply many household tasks, respect my husband, and nurture our children all while living in personal peace and quietness. Today, my life runs on rhythms of grace and thanksgiving--absent of pressure, comparison, and condemnation. Anxiety and fear are banished, and I am free to abide in His daily care for me. What a life!

If you are ready to create order in your home with simple strategies, grow spiritually to hear God's voice in the everyday, and discover personal peace through His abounding grace, then come on in. You are welcome here.

So, put the kettle on and brew your favorite tea; let's visit awhile.
