Homekeepers Journal - August 10th

Please visit Sylvia at Christian HomeKeeper Network to read what's going on with other home keepers around blogland!

This week’s Journal is all about struggles and what we do when we find ourselves there.

I struggle in my kitchen with ….. paper clutter!  Our kitchen seems to be the landing spot for all things paper - mail, school papers, artwork, recipes, coupons, etc.  I should take the time to sort right away, but realistically I just need a temporary holding area (other than the kitchen island) to put stuff until I can look through it later.

Struggles of any kind have a tendency to make me ……  prayerful and reflective.

I struggle more when ……. I feel like circumstances are out of my control.  Or when I feel like I'm not being everything and all things to everyone.  Understanding that there is only so much (very little) I can control and only so much I can do in my own strength, is something I still struggle with. 

When it comes to people, I struggle ….. to be open, especially when meeting new people.  I have a tendency to be guarded and reserved. 

When it comes to struggles, I believe the Lord wants me to know ….. that He is in control.
