A to do list on the fridge, a 2009 diary next to the bed, a few old agendas inside the drawers, a beautiful pet calendar behind the door, a personal memo on your laptop’s desktop, and post-it notes everywhere in your bathroom mirror. These are only a few of the methods women use to organize themselves. If only they worked…
Organizing your life is no easy task at hand. The more you have in life, the more difficult it gets. The better you become at being yourself, the more organizing methods you need. Sometimes it feels like being a woman is about having no control whatsoever! And to top it off, just as an extra bit of salt to our pain, there’s the famous PMS…
The only way we can succeed in having control of everything in life at the same time is by committing everything in God’s Hands. And though we may think we’ve done that at times, most of the times, we haven’t. We think we can do everything on our own and when we find out we can’t, we feel frustrated and with that same diminishing thought ‘I’m never the best I can be!’.
The fact is, if we’re organized spiritually, we’re organized everywhere else in life. If we often pray, we often do well to others.

If we always read the Bible, we always know what to do. If we keep our hearts clean on a daily basis, we also keep our relationships well on a daily basis.
If we can only realize that we cannot do it on our own, we’ll consequently depend on God and He will surely help us through. That’s when we have control. That’s when we know what to do first. That’s when we finish what we started.
Then our homes will be in order, our husbands happy, our children in peace, our work progressing, our talents invested on, our beauty on show, and our faith on high.
When we’re well spiritually, we’re well everywhere else in life. Think about that. You can invite PMS in but there won’t be a place for it to rest. You can still use to do lists here and there but you won’t depend on them. You’ll be in control, not only of your responsibilities, but most importantly, your emotions.
In faith,
