The Power of Order

Have you ever awakened to chaos? You don't know quite when it happened but you lost your edge of control? For our family it happened somewhere in the midst of moving to an urban area, having our second and third child, moving across country twice and starting churches. Now like you we all can look back and in hindsight think, why wasn't I thinking?

The Good News is that where there is pain there is opportunity to grow. For Kel and me we tackled the issue head on! Our natural talent has allowed us to survive our detail deficiency. I am far from and accountant and on a recent test scored in the bottom 30% in the areas of details. So before you think you must be a detail freak or an accountant there is good news...know one said you have to micro manage your life to bring order and better yet we all must run the first mile before we run the second. So here were the areas that we have addressed to begin:

Self Evaluation
Communication
Planning
Time Management
Money Management
Food Management
Discipline (personal and children)

We are far from being "how to authors" but we are fellow citizens of this realm of life. We pray that what follows might inspire you and invite you to comment on ideas for the journey. We are now a year into pursuing order and beginning to see the fruit of peace bearing in our family. Winter is gone, spring is arriving. The best of all is that we are not re emerging as "who" we were but as who we are "becoming".
