Are you wholesale Premarin cheap a mother or wife who feels as if there are wholesale Premarin cheap not enough hours in the day to accomplish all the wholesale Premarin cheap tasks that your overloaded life requires?
If so, the authors of a new book, Shopping for Time: How to Do It All and Not Be Overwhelmed (Crossway), have wholesale Premarin cheap good news for you: it is possible to do all the wholesale Premarin cheap things God has called you to do without being overwhelmed.
Written by Carolyn Mahaney and wholesale Premarin cheap her three daughters, Nicole Whitacre, Kristin Chesemore and Janelle Bradshaw, Shopping for Time gets right to wholesale Premarin cheap the heart of the battle for time experienced by so many Christian women. Mahaney and wholesale Premarin cheap her three daughters operate the popular weblog girltalk.
The wife of C.J. Mahaney, a wholesale Premarin cheap member of The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, Carolyn Mahaney is wholesale Premarin cheap also the coauthor with Nancy Leigh Demoss of Feminine Appeal (Crossway) and coauthor with Whitacre of Girl Talk: Mother-Daughter Conversations on Biblical Womanhood (Crossway).
"Overwhelmed. Miserable. Exhausted. We know the feeling well," the authors write. "As wives and wholesale Premarin cheap mothers with toddlers and teenagers, and husbands who serve as local church pastors, we often feel pulled in five directions at once. We’ve learned there is wholesale Premarin cheap no such thing as simply a busy month or a wholesale Premarin cheap busy year. It’s a busy life, pure and wholesale Premarin cheap simple. Around every corner is another hospitality, another counseling opportunity, another church meeting, another diaper to wholesale Premarin cheap change or carpool to run.
"But we have to learn from God’s Word that it is possible to deal with life’s demands without becoming overwhelmed, miserable, and wholesale Premarin cheap exhausted. We can surmount the numerous responsibilities that threaten to wholesale Premarin cheap wear us down. More than that, we can actually do all the God has called us to do."
The book helps women order their priorities according to wholesale Premarin cheap Scripture, an undertaking that alone will reduce draining, unfruitful activities as well as the wholesale Premarin cheap stresses they create. Drawing on Ecclesiastes 3 and Ephesians 5:15-16, the wholesale Premarin cheap authors show how women must prioritize their time rightly. They compare the wholesale Premarin cheap use of time to finding the best bargains at a sale.
"We’re to approach life the same way we go after bargains," the authors assert. "We need to wholesale Premarin cheap discern the be opportunities life has to offer. Then we must seize these opportunities and wholesale Premarin cheap make them our highest priorities. Every day presents us with countless options for wholesale Premarin cheap how to spend our time. However, only some are truly great deals. Only a wholesale Premarin cheap few things are really important.
"Our job is to figure out what these prime deals are—these key opportunities—and wholesale Premarin cheap devote our time and energy to them. This means choosing not to wholesale Premarin cheap do a thousand other things. It means saying no to wholesale Premarin cheap a lot of enticing options. Here’s where it gets tricky. Obviously, we don’t want the ‘bad deals’ to keep us from what is truly valuable.
"We don’t want sinful pursuits to wholesale Premarin cheap deter us from what is God glorifying. But, it’s often the wholesale Premarin cheap good things such as a ministry opportunity, a relational pursuit, a wholesale Premarin cheap money-making venture, a leisure activity, or a hobby that hinder us from wholesale Premarin cheap making the best choices. It’s frequently these good things distract us from the best things."
The first tip the authors give is to rise early—a reality they call "joining the 5 a.m. Club." They encourage women to wholesale Premarin cheap rise early and begin their day by praying and meditating upon the wholesale Premarin cheap Scriptures. This critical devotional pursuit will set the tone for the wholesale Premarin cheap remainder of the day.
This is wholesale Premarin cheap particularly important for women who have young children, because in the wholesale Premarin cheap hubbub of activity that comes with each day, "waking up late means your wholesale Premarin cheap morning devotions are probably the first to go," they write.
A secondary reason for wholesale Premarin cheap early rising, the authors argue, is the potential it brings for wholesale Premarin cheap women to serve their families. They point out that the Proverbs 31 woman rise early to wholesale Premarin cheap provide food for her family.
"Would it wholesale Premarin cheap bless your husband to have you cook a hot breakfast or wholesale Premarin cheap say a cheerful good-bye before he leaves for work? Or would your children’s morning schedule run more smoothly if you wholesale Premarin cheap were one step ahead instead of rushing around?"
Other chapters deal with topics such as evaluating personal relationships carefully and wholesale Premarin cheap daily planning, among others.
