Thank you for such an inspiring post. I have been feeling very overwhelmed these past few months and realize that I have been neglecting to spend sufficient time with the Lord – giving my anxieties over to him and seeking out his direction for my life, even down to the little details. I will definitely be making the time to do so from now on – I just needed reminding! Interestingly, a friend mentioned that very scripture (Prov 16:9) to me the other day – it seems I really needed to hear it! Thanks again.

Lindsay, thank you so much for linking back to this post. It is exactly what I needed to hear. I can feel the Holy Spirit speaking to me through your words.

I recently quit my job to stay home with my 19 month old son and am pregnant with our second child due in September. I am beginning to feel overwhelmed in my homemaking and am also quick to become angered and frustrated with my son and husband. I think that having time like this away from the house alone would allow me the freedom and peace to regenerate my patience and love for the week.

Thanks again!
Maria

What a wonderful idea. I definitely need to do this! I’m still a single, but what a great opportunity to begin “training” for married life.

Wow! Thank you for this! It is exactly what I need to be doing. I have been feeling very frazzled, stressed and like life is chaotic right now…I have a feeling this is my solution! I need to go back to giving my week/day to the Lord. So often I let life get in the way and it ends up like this every time! Thank you for redirecting my focus! This is just what I need for this time in my life

Oh, yes, and even to what we eat! As we know the Lord will clothe and feed us, but more especially when we turn to him in humility asking him to guide and provide!

I love this post! I love the thank you prayer and opening to the Lord to live our lives, from service, family, homemaking, to spiritual. This post will help me.

I know this is an older post, but I just stumbled upon it today and have been blessed to find this encouragement! I have been working on this very thing and cannot fathom how I have managed to make it this far without times like this!
Times of refreshing are so nourishing to a busy woman’s mind, heart, and soul! May I never neglect refreshment again!

Crystin, I could have written exactly what you wrote! I am frustrated and overwhelmed, cranky with my 2 kids and realized I am farther from God than just a few months ago. I hope to use Lindsay’s tips and hope you are successful, too!
