I have to confess that I dropped the ball last week with this series. Life just happened, and I didn’t get my weekly journal entry posted – because I didn’t do the devotional. Honestly, I can’t even remember what happened, it just didn’t get done. This whole Being More Disciplined thing isn’t easy sometimes. It goes against my “natural tendencies,” it seems. What’s more, I intended to write a series… Continue Reading
Don’t Worry – Clean Heart Journal, Week 9
Are you a worrywart? Do you find yourself worrying over every little thing? In this week’s Create in Me a Clean Heart Devotion, we are reminded that Yeshua (Jesus) commanded us not to worry. He said don’t do it. Don’t allow those “what ifs” to rent space in your head (this is where taking thoughts captive comes into play). Right. I’m a mother. How can I possibly not worry?? Matthew… Continue Reading
The Process of Refining – Clean Heart Journal – Week 8
Yesterday I was supposed to get this posted here on the blog! I’m still battling with my flesh to overcome my tendency to stay up late and sleep late in the morning.

Not getting up early enough before… Continue Reading

It’s week six already in the Clean Heart Devotional, can you believe it? This week focuses on doubt, something many of us are all too familiar with unfortunately. Do you doubt your ability to ever get organized? Maybe others doubt it, so even if you are feeling all fired up about tackling that clutter their negativity can be like pouring water on a fire. This week, I journal about doubt… Continue Reading
Created to be Orderly – Clean Heart Journal – Week Five
Today, I’m thankful for divine protection during the night – some very strong storms moved through our area in the middle of the night and I was blissfully unaware of any impending danger! We awoke to the news that a 14 year old boy was killed when a tree fell on his home, so sad. My prayers go out to his family. I didn’t really want to get up… Continue Reading
