Simplified Organization: Learn to Love What Must Be Done

by Mystie Winckler

The business done in the home is nothing less than the shaping of the bodies and souls of humanity. —G. K. Chesterton

Being organized isn’t about being in control, always having your ideas for your home and life and family work out. Instead, being organized is being prepared and ready for whatever comes from God’s fatherly hand.

When we feel frustrated and defeated, as if we’re banging our heads against a wall, it’s usually because our reality doesn’t line up with our expectations—and

if organization and order can still be found in my attitude, we are doing well.”

I believe God is calling women out of the feminist lie that we are not fulfilled by homemaking and into the glorious truth that we can love the work and dance within the rhythms of life.

There is no greater privilege than to be given a home to run. We can and should glory in our duty as we learn the ropes of doing it faithfully.

Our effectiveness in the world at large as women begins when we are effective in our homes, because homes are where people start, land, and connect. There is no greater privilege than to be given a home to run. We can and should glory in our duty as we learn the ropes of doing it faithfully.
