Welcome to the last Monday of Organizing your Heart & Home! Traci and I have had so much fun working together and we hope you have enjoyed getting your Heart and Home organized.
Traci is organizing her Laundry Room today and you do not want to miss it!! Today I’m focusing on Organizing your Heart and Home by Serving Others.
I was challenged to be more intentional about serving after reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan last summer. This book was sometimes hard to read because I knew I wasn’t doing enough.
I was reminded again (why I have to be reminded I don’t know!) what Christ has done for me. I was truly challenged to do more……to love more.……and to give more.
This is one of the reasons we decided to host a foreign exchange student.
Kitty has been such a blessing to our family and I can’t imagine life without her now.
So how do we Organize our Service to others? It’s actually quite simple!
1. Organize your quiet time.
2. Organize your prayer time.
3. And then your response will be to Serve!!!!
You see the more we become like Christ the more we will want to serve others.
We can…………..
- send a note of encouragement to someone
- take food to a new Mom
- host a foreign exchange student
- give to a worthy cause such as Compassion International
- and the list can go on.
The point is to Serve Others!
I wanted to share this video that spurred me to stop living “safe” and “comfortable” all the time. Let’s stop thinking about ourselves and realize we are called to Serve Others!

“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.” Philippians 2:5-7

My hubby is actually reading “Crazy Love” right now…I am next in line to read it! Thank you for all of your inspirational posts! I truly believe the stronger your relationship with Christ the more you want to do for and serve others! I know it has made a huge difference in my life! I think about others and how I can help now more than I ever have before!
I have enjoyed this series with you and Tracy. I started reading blogs to get decorating inspiration, but honestly, when I read this series, I realized I should use this time to better my walk with the Lord. The computer can be a huge distraction for me so I’ve actually tried to use it less! As far as the challenge this week, it’s almost scary. I’ve heard of Francis Chan and actually thought about reading it. However, I’ve been a little “afraid” of what the Lord might teach me. Make sense? Seems like his book comes up every so often, so maybe a free copy of it is what I need! Thank you for your blog!!
This book is a hard read because it stretched me and sometimes that is so hard. But I know I need it!!!
I’m already a follower and I’m loving it. Thank you.
