Review, Reveal, Reset
As fall enters, I feel the need to review, reveal, and reset my home and myself. I always think fall and spring are good times to evaluate my household chore schedule and myself. As I prayed over evaluating my home; I realized I had let some of my schedule slip. It is so easy to do when we get caught up in life. I needed to review my schedule for my home. In doing this I found a new schedule system called Clean Mama that had a few tips I replaced in my current schedule. I had recently been feeling overwhelmed and frustrated at times. God revealed to me things in my schedule that were making me feel overwhelmed unnecessarily. I incorporated some new ideas in my schedule which areproving to make things easier and creating more peace in my day-to-day life.
“God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” 1st Corinthians 14:33 When I see confusion I know this is not God. My life has shown me God’s ways are simple and clear. Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and confused is never God’s best for us.
I also looked at myself, my weaknesses, my strengths, and what I’d like to change. I looked at my spiritual life. I was ending one Bible study searching for where God needed me to grow next. I took this time to attend a Bible conference by Priscilla Shirer’s ministries. This was an amazing conference I would highly recommend. The conference allowed me a few days to reflect, spend quiet time with God, and reveal where I had grown this year and where I still need growth. I decided to study the book of Galatians this fall. My pastor has been doing a “red letters” series. I further realized I didn't spend enough time reading the “red letters” in the bible. God has so much to teach us. The words he spoke while he was on earth are full of insight and wisdom. I am trying daily to read a “red letter “verse along with my verse in Psalms or Proverbs then my daily Bible study. I'm amazed that each day it all somehow connects. I would recommend daily:
1. Read a “red letter” verse
2. Read a verse from Psalms or Proverbs
3. A daily bible study (preferably with a video to deep dive your bible study. This video can be a sermon series in your church.)
If summer has left, you feeling overwhelmed or like your home is in a state of chaos, then I hope this was an encouragement to you. Take time to step back, review, reveal and reset. Below there are links to the two cleaning systems that have helped me organize. I also have the link to Priscilla Shirer Going Beyond conference.

May you all have a blessed fall season.
