Determining my Best Yes!

Right now I am involved in several things simultaneously for different things.  One thing I am involved is the Ultimate Blog Challenge.  My goal is to do one new post for 31 days.  This is day 3 of the challenge.  I am also involved in Proverbs 31 Ministries Online Bible Study for The Best Yes: Making Wise Decisions in the Midst of Endless Demands by Lysa Terkeurst.  This book is all about determining what our "Best Yes" is.  We are just completing week 2 of the study and have finished the first 6 chapters of the book.  And I have to say I love this book.  Lysa has the ability to make me laugh, cry and even relate to everything she is saying.  I stop and think.  She causes me to want to dive deeper into the study and into God's Word to determine what I really should be doing and how I should be living.
A third thing I am doing is a prayer challenge for my husband along with Darlene Schacht.  I have only just begun this challenge, but I love the idea of praying for my husband.  This challenge is in celebration of the release of her new book, Messy Beautiful Life:  Hope and Redemption for Real-Life Marriages.  When I signed up for the challenge, Darlene sent some wonderful freebies to help with the challenge including a study guide and a beautiful set of prayer cards.  I am still in the midst of getting them printed out and set up the way I want them.

If all that were not enough, we of course still have homeschooling.  I still have to feed the family.  I still have to clean the house and do laundry.  So there is a lot on my plate.  A little more than a year ago, I started a website about our family, but have not devoted the time and resources to it that I wanted to so that is one of my goals to complete.  

Also, I walked into saying my best yes and that resulted in me starting a new group on Facebook.  So I have been working on that including starting to create original content yesterday.  I need to create guidelines and welcome documents along with a Member list for the group as well.  But I am so excited for the challenge.  Not to mention, the ladies that have joined the group seem to be really exciting.  So that is what a typical day in my life entails.

Packing Still

So we are still packing.  Yesterday Joseph and a friend mopped and scrubbed my kitchen floor (yes hands and knees kind of scrubbing).  Plus they cleaned up a lot of the rest of the room.  I worked on shredding excess paper plus starting to clean the stairwell.  Nathan began packing the books from his father's bookcase.

This morning, I am working on laundry and trying to proofread our Sunday School lesson for the week.  I plan on continuing the work in our living room, stairwell, shredding, and our computer room plus starting on our bedroom.  My oldest packed up his father's stereo.  My second son has been working on his bedroom and is now getting ready to pack up my cookbooks.  Living in Boxville is getting quite interesting.  We hope to be able to see the house one more time before we actually start moving in.

So that's where we are.  What's up in your world today?  I'd love for you to share.
