Where to Go from Here

We're almost done!  We've got our hair done and our shoes on, we've made a schedule, we've spent time with God, we've improved our marriages, our kids are starting to obey, our house is neat and clean, our checkbook is balanced, dinner is in the oven, and we have a church family.  Are you tired?

Actually, I have a sneaking suspicion that you read through these ten steps and you probably haven't had a chance to put them into practice yet.  If so, you might be feeling overwhelmed.

As I said before, you really need to have some friends who can come beside you and support you.  The Bible says the older women should "...admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed (Titus 2:4-5)."  I would love to help you personally by praying for you as you work on your family life.  Please, please, please feel free to e-mail me and tell me that you're working on these ten steps.  I will add you to my prayer list and pray for you each morning!

Now is also a good time to go back into Anne's Homey Place and look at oodles more links to help you in the areas where you need help.  Find out more about the priorities of a healthy family, read through Bible studies and articles, or find more tools that can help you grow spiritually.

Finally, if you haven't done so already, you would be wise to print a book list to take to the library or bookstore with you.  Of course, you can purchase any of these books through Amazon.com by clicking on the picture of the book.

Thank you for allowing me to come into your home!  I'll be praying for you and your family.  Let me know how I can help!  Most of all, realize that God's power is greater than any problem you have or any habit you need to overcome.  He wants you to succeed, and He'll give you the strength to do it!
