Motivate Me Monday ~ Getting Offline


It's time for Motivate Me Monday with Sarah Mae at Like a Warm Cup of Coffee. Stop over there for great motivation for your week!

I had planned to write something completely different today, but stopped and took some time to read a devotional, my Bible, and then the book Passionate Housewives Desperate for God (highly recommended by my friend Kim at Homesteaders Heart). Just from what I read in that book this morning, I am motivated to take my homemaking duties that the Lord has called me to do, a little more seriously. And what that means is that I need to get "offline" today and care for my neglected household.

I plan to stay off the computer until this evening. I encourage you to try it too, if you haven't already! Go and tackle some of those chores you've been neglecting. Be motivated and free to do so!

Have a blessed Monday and I will see you - later!

  3. Oh my goodness, you motivated me. This is going to be hard, I am not going to read or click anything else, and go do that load of laundry and vacuum!

  4. I would love to read that book....I have felt the same way, and in the last couple weeks, I have really been trying to focus more on household/family chores, etc. that need done during the day, and it's working; I'm getting a lot done, and it feels great!

  5. Great idea! I know my computer takes up way too much of my valuable time! I'll have to get that book. I've seen it and was wondering if it was good! ~hugs, Rhonda :)

  6. I definitely agree with limiting computer time. I have made a real effort to do so in the past couple weeks and it has made such a difference. Having regular hours that I limit myself to really helps, and keep my computer off in between times helps me resist the temptation to jump on for a quick peek.

    It is encouraging to hear others finding the joy in getting away, too! Keeps me on the bandwagon.
