I’d love to help you simplify your meal planning. Check out my new menu planning course here.

 

Planning has been a help to me in caring well for my home and family. #planning #planner #planourdays @mferrell

I have always been a planner oriented person. I love notebooks and pens and making lists. I love seeing items I have to-do written down. It helps me to keep order and meet the needs of my family and others while still getting time to do some of the things I love to do too (like write on this blog here).

Planning My Day as a Homemaker

I'd like to walk through with you today how I use my planner to plan my days. It isn't meant to be copied but to spark ideas on ways you can plan your days working with the way God has wired you.

The days and weeks I take the time to plan well are the ones that are my most productive and efficient. I hope you'll be encouraged today to grab a few nuggets that may work for you and your life.

 

Show Notes:

Areas I Plan:

Goals for the Year – (Grow in Godliness, Love my Family, Serve in the Church, Fellowship with Christians, Evangelize non-Christians, Attend to my Work, Care for My Physical Health)

Monthly Calendar

Category List – (Home, Family, Calls/Letters, Blog Tasks, Office Work, Ministry/Church, Personal)

Weekly Calendar

Daily To-Do List

Books to Read

Top 10 Benefits I Love about Using a Planner:

  1. More productive
  2. Don't miss appointments
  3. Helps me to manage my time well
  4. Clears my mind (especially at night before bed)
  5. Memories recorded of special days or events
  6. Helps me to be intentional in my relationships
  7. Keeps me reminded of thank you's and encouraging notes to send out.
  8. I make more intentional choices
  9. I love using pen and paper instead of technology – it's a stress reliever for me
  10. I have more free time because my time is focused and not wasted

Dear friends, I recorded this episode last year af Dear friends, I recorded this episode last year after sharing my testimony with my church family. It was one of the hardest podcast episodes to work through. ⁣

My testimony comes from one who remembers what it was like to be unsaved and seeking an abortion and now coming from the other side of being born again, a new creation in Christ and understanding the beauty of forgiveness and redemption in Christ. ⁣
⁣
No sin is beyond the grace and forgiveness of God, even the sin of abortion. True forgiveness, hope, and healing can only be found, but it is only found in Jesus Christ. ⁣
I pray you'll listen in if you haven't yet. ⁣

Have your doctrinal views, and all your knowledge of Christ, packed away in a handy form so that, when people want to know what you believe, you can tell them. If they wish to know why you believe that you are saved, have your answer all ready in a few plain, simple sentences; and in the gentlest and most modest spirit make your confession of faith to the praise and glory of God. Who knows but what such good seed will bring forth an abundant harvest?⁣
