Like many others, I lead a busy life. It is a juggling act
for me at times. I am trying to find the perfect balance of work life, a social
life, and the domestic life all while trying to stay sound mentally, physically,
spiritually, and socially. It is a balancing act to say the least sometimes but
I think I make it fine with only really getting frazzled sometimes. I am
thankful God made inventors of appliances and sent others into my life to teach
me how to use them.
One of the most important appliances in my kitchen (besides
my coffee pot) is my slow cooker. This appliance helps me be a domestic diva
from time-to-time. This morning it got pulled out of the cabinet and dusted off
in order to be put to good use to serve a family at church that is grieving
from a recent loss. I knew that with everything going on with my work schedule
today that would be the best option for this busy girl. I was thinking simple,
easy, and comfort food and what better appliance to help me accomplish all that
than the slow cooker! Click here to check out what I made and to get the
recipe. Now if only I had a recipe for helping me be a better domestic
housekeeper this week! As I look around my house after a busy week…I’m glad the
weekend here! My house needs a domestic diva to spend a little quality time
cleaning and preparing for the week ahead. This busy girl will have to utilize
other appliances within the house this weekend like the vacuum cleaner, the
steam mop, the washer and dryer, and the old-fashioned dishwasher (washcloths
& towels) to dust and wipe away the week’s messes. LOL. It seems that
things have been let go around the house and everything have gotten quite
untidy.
Hebrews 12:1-3 tells us that we should put our sight on the
Lord. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,
let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.
And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on
Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he
endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the
throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that
you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
As Christian women, we need think beyond useful household
appliances, our crazy calendars and day-to-day schedules and think about
priorities within our life. If we lead a life focused on the Lord then he will
help us balance it all in stride. Jesus should be the example we look to since
he understands what we are going through. 1 Peter 2:21 says, “To this you were
called, because Christ suffered you, leaving you an example, that you should
follow in his steps”. My priorities are God, Family, Work, Service and Health.
What are your priorities?
