And may your hearts be fully committed to the Lord our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time. I Kings 8:61 I’ve been the sole proprietor of Organizing You Ministries for ten years now. My “elevator pitch” has slowly evolved into this statement: “I help women use organization as a tool […]
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17 I thought I’d share one more Organize Your Photos post. Remember, organizing your photos doesn’t have to be a huge, complicated project. You can choose to complete a fun […]
The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all. Psalm 34:19 Have you ever had the post-project blues? Perhaps you dedicated an entire Saturday to organizing your kitchen—and you did a great job!—but on Monday morning you’re back to business as usual and your kitchen doesn’t seem so great anymore. Maybe […]
The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. Jeremiah 31:3 How do you look from behind my book table? There are so many stories I could tell about the fascinating people I’ve met while on the road as a speaker. […]
Welcome back to the Unexpected Organizing series! This is (I think) the last post of the series, and so it’s about the last thing we want to think of when it comes to organizing—the stuff we almost never use, but still want to keep. Conventional wisdom tells us that if we haven’t used it in […]
And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing out of the ordinary? Matthew 5:47 (HCSB) We all want to be out of the ordinary. Jesus called us to be out of the ordinary, in the world but not of it. Interestingly, being countercultural has become very popular, sometimes in good ways, sometimes […]
…a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away. Ecclesiastes 3:6 As we near the end of the Organizing Your Photos series, it’s time we talk about one of the best things about photos: Photos can replace bulkier stuff. Do you […]
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6 If you’re a mom with young kids (or if you otherwise have young kids in your life), you know that they’re quickly bored with the new toys they receive for Christmas. Rather […]
This fact may not be particularly unexpected, especially if you’ve read my books: I don’t like cooking. So, I may not be the very best person to write about unexpected organizing in the kitchen. But, as always, I’ll show you what I do and challenge you to think about what you do. Perfection has never been […]
The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. Psalm 33:10-11 Do you ever feel like your plans are thwarted by interruptions? Lately, organizers and time management experts have been touting “Time Blocking.” Time blocking is a scheduling technique with […]
