Settling In....

Hmmm....settling into the new life I have now chosen! My husband informed me yesterday that he can tell I am more busier, as I haven't been on here for a few days. There are just some days that I don't know what to write, and there are some days where I don't have the time to write.

My schedule for each week is settling in and it's making life a bit easier for me. Mondays are my days to be around the house for projects, cleaning, laundry, cooking, etc. and in the evening choir practice for Christmas. Tuesdays I look forward to as Robert has them off and we usually do things together, whether it's working on a project here at home or out shopping doing some errands. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays are doing a bit of cleaning and hopefully a project in the morning and preparing in the afternoon to pick up the young lady that I am now keeping for four hours (3:30-7:30) while her daddy is at work. It has definatelly been a blessing for me to have someone else here in the house with me for a few hours. Wed night is church and Fri night is bowling. And I can't forget my Saturdays, with him working I find that this can be my 'play' day to make and build friends here in the area.

All through our courtship, I kept telling Robert 'no routine'. My life for the last 10 years have been praying, going, and doing what I feel the Lord is telling me. Getting married still has a bit of that but I am seeing the need for my new life to have a bit of routine. What is routine anyway....according to the dictionary I found the following definitions:

1. a customary or regular course of procedure.
2. commonplace tasks, chores, or duties as must be done regularly or at specified intervals; typical or everyday activity: the routine of an office.

So my routine is setting forth within this new life. From there I can then set my schedule to allow the other things that I need to get accomplished and to reach out to others. Setting new goals and dreams and adventures to each of my days. With gaining a house, there are still plenty of things that I need to accomplish each day to make it a home for my husband to come home to. I am grateful for him to allow me to do what I feel the Lord has called me to do, whether staying in ministry or getting a job or whatever it may be.

Lord, thank you for this home. You knew the desire of my heart from many years ago, to be able to stay at home. And now maybe to answer the next desire of...possibly....having a little one to call my own.
