Proverbs 31:27 27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Gaining control over the “affairs of my household” seems a bit daunting. Exciting, but daunting. Have I said this before? Goals, organization, schedules, files, wills, finances, photos, cleaning, hospitality, the whole nine yards. Inspired by Just [...]
