Everything you do

Lately I have been feeling very heavily convicted. Partially through hearing that song "Everything You do" (Steven Curtis Chapman), partially through reading my wonderful friend Carrington's blog about my "job" as a stay at home mom, and then partially through our sermon today at church.
I've been feeling so strongly that God is desperately trying to get my attention and tell me one thing. I need to do EVERYTHING I do for the Glory of the one who made me!! I need to be eager to please and love and serve Him. What a funny thing this has been for me to think about. I begged and pleaded with God to please let me stay home and be with my boy. But MAN, there are days that I just feel like I kinda want to lose it! And every day when that little baby shows up at our door I mostly just think "welp, let's just get through today". But I should be waking up each day striving for excellence. Not to be the best mom or the greatest babysitter, but just to simply make every task throughout my day matter. God has blessed us with this opportunity and I need to make the most of it!
I'm so excited and energized about this new vision of what my days should look like that I just wanted to share. So my new challenge is to do: house work, feedings, budgeting, couponing, meal-planning, etc to the best of my ability and as if I were working and doing it directly for my Jesus. I can't wait to see the heart change as I begin this journey!
