Are You an Imperfect Homemaker?

Do you ever feel like you just don't have it together?

Are you disorganized and undisciplined?

Are you ever ashamed when your husband comes home because you haven't used your time wisely that day?

Do you snap at your kids and speak unkind words to your husband?

Do you think back over the day with feelings of guilt because you know you should have acted differently in the area of __________(you fill in the blank)?

Although  you'll never be perfect, these things really shouldn't be normal.

But you know what? I struggle with them all sometimes. I'm not telling you that because I'm proud of it.  I'm telling you that because I'm sure some of you struggle with these things too.

The question is: What are you going to do about it?

Let me be honest here: tomorrow is the last day of the healthy living bundle, and I was originally planning this post to highlight some of the great books on self-discipline.

But as I began to write, God spoke to my heart and said, “What's more important?  What's going to help women more?  Books? Or THE Book?”

So here I am to say,

If you're an imperfect homemaker, struggling with certain areas in your life that you know need to change, turn to the ONLY book that can change your life. The author is perfect.  The book itself will act as a mirror, revealing what's in your heart. It will act as a sword, cutting out those hidden parts of your life that need to be removed. It will act as a light, to guide you when you know you need to change, but aren't quite sure how.

If I lose some sales because I'm telling you that self-help books won't change your life, so be it.  If I've encouraged someone…anyone…to seek God's face and rely on Him to be the woman He wants you to be, I rejoice.

Do I think your health will benefit from the books and resources in the healthy living bundle? Absolutely.

But I know what's far more important, and if you only choose one book to read, study, and follow, choose God's.

Joshua 1:8   This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
