The last couple of weeks, I have been trying to live a more
disciplined life. In “Christian circles”
we often talk about the spiritual disciplines; praying, reading Scripture,
silence, and the like. While I have
been trying to incorporate that in a little more as well, I am talking about
another kind of discipline. This is the
do the laundry, wash the dishes, make dinner, get your crap together sort of
discipline. Let me tell you folks, I
have been slacking in these areas for quite some time; dreading the thought of
putting together a meal plan, cringing at folding yet one more towel. But guess what?!! Unbeknownst to me, doing these things has
actually made my life less stressful!
Yes; less stressful! Each day, I
have been going to bed feeling like I accomplished something and that is worth
folding one more towel! I’m finding
though, that I still don’t have enough time to do all of the other things that
I love, like reading and sleeping- maybe when the kiddos get a little
older.

Also on my mind most of the time are the musings of this
wonderful author named Glennon Doyle Melton.
If you haven’t heard of her, you must, must, must, check out her book,
Carry On, Warrior. Oh, and also, read
her blog at momastery.com. That might be
the best choice you can make today. Go.
Read. Now.
P.S. Here’s a little
video to tide you over.
