An Honest Look

Welcome back!

new yearI have to be honest.  If there were any New Year’s Resolution that I needed to adopt, it would be to spend less time online.  Yes, I know I work from home and that involves being online quite a bit, but I know if I were honest with myself that if I spent 2-4 hrs of focused work time I could get way more done.  Also, I keep feeling God telling me, nudging me to re-prioritize and saying to me “Alyssa, put first things first.” Meaning put being a wife and mom before my work, which I must admit I don’t do all of the time because of the money. I worry about the money that I could be bringing in.

And, as we all know money involves work, so that’s when my work is put first, because money is what pays the bills.  Then, there is this belief and this knowledge deep inside of me that knows, money is not your provider, God is your provider dear child.  So, why can’t I just follow that and instead focus on my family, always?

In this new year this is my personal goal.  FOCUS on my FAMILY.  Focus on my home, my kids and my husband, not necessarily in that order.  This means I must keep my computer and work time down to 4 hours.  Any ideas how I can make this easier?  I’d love to hear from you!
