What a fantastic post, thank you Anna. The last 3 paragraphs especially convicted me – that 1 Tim 5 passage in particular!

You sound a lot like the way I was as a new wife, twenty three years ago. I like your honesty. I still feel lazy and not all I’d like to be too often. I am a stay-at-home mom of three teenage boys, and what I have learned that brings me peace and joy is, take it one day at a time and let God be my lead and counselor. I have learned to enjoy my days, my busy ones and my quiet ones.

Great tips! I feel like a failure sometimes too when it comes to housekeeping – nothing gets done on the days I have to work, and then I feel like I can’t get entirely caught up on my days off. But I liked your list – good ideas!

Thanks so much for sharing this Anna. I am not married but am in a season of courtship and lately it has been hard for me just looking at all my bad qualities (I am prone to laziness) and just worrying that I will be a horrid wife and then Mother so reading this…really encouraged me to keep my focus on the Lord first but then not stress about it so much and try to be…perfect.
I have really enjoyed your blog. Thanks for being such a blessing to me personally and I am sure to many others.
May the Lord richly bless you!
