2011-beach

Hope you had a great holiday!  All of our kids and grandkids came over on Christmas Day, and the kids enjoyed Ray’s traditional, sweet holiday ham – enjoyed it so much that none was left for left-overs!  Today is the beginning of 2011, and if you’re like me, you’re ready to put the old year behind and start fresh! 

I don’t like new year’s resolutions. They make me feel like a failure – usually by the second week of January! So this year I’ve decided to do a “one word theme” that I heard about on K-Love radio station here.  You pray and ask God for “one word” for the new year, a character trait you’d like to work on or something you want to focus on this year such as “faith,” “dream,” discipline,” or “forgiveness.” 

One word from the Lord can change your life!

I spent today working on my new ebook, The Hands Of A Woman, which is about women and spiritual warfare. Eight women so far are contributing their stories to this ebook, and I am very excited about this. If you’d like to hear all the latest updates about this ebook and a webinar on the same topic at the end of January, be sure to sign up for my personal mailing list at my main website at www.bethjones.net.

One of the things I have committed to God in prayer for the new year is balancing my roles as a wife, homeschooling mom, writer and speaker.  Our daughter Leah’s homeschooling will be priority over my business/ministry. It’s not always easy for moms to juggle all that they have to do, but God can help us if we just ask. 

What balls are you juggling right now?  How do you organize your day?  Do you homeschool early in the morning, and have the rest of the day free?  Do your kids do some of their lessons at night so you have some time freed up in the daytime for errands, chores, your business?

I’d love to hear what works for you. Leave your comments below.
