Chapter 1-Debra Schroering

To be a better helpmeet I am working on the following....
1. talking with Rob more about training the children and asking for his advice (and listening to it and following through), instead of coming up with the ways myself and then telling him
2. working on keeping our house cleaner and more organized so I don't spend so much time on it and have more "fun" time. Right now I'm taking one room at a time. Cleaning it from top to bottom and then training the kids to help us keep it clean. Also, getting rid of anything that we haven't used lately or really don't need.
3. trying to keep my eyes open to see ways I can help him save time. (example...went through his box under his bed I put all his papers, etc. that are left around the house and organized the stacks so he could go through it in a few minutes. I also cleaned out his drawers beside his bed since they could barely close and threw away what I knew was garbage and put the rest under the bed for him to go through at a more convient time.
4. most importantly I've been praying for God's wisdom on what to spend time on each day and giving Him my day. He's the one who has chosen the best husband for each of us and He knows better than me what his true needs are. He is also the one who gave us 24 hours in a day and know what really needs to be accomplished and what he desires me to spend my time on.
