This video was so timely: I'm glad I watched it tonight. I live with my grandparents, and constantly deal with people coming over at random times of the day, or having to drop what I was doing to go help with this or that... I can totally relate. Most of the time I fall into the "Never Mind: I Give Up" camp, but this allows my life to dissolve into an inconsistency that I'm really trying to change. I like your Middle-of-the-Road Superflex strategy. Lately I've started doing what you recommended -- looking to the Lord like, "Okay, Father, what do YOU want me to be doing right now?" It's so encouraging to know I'm not the only one who's learning to balance life's beautiful chaos. Thank you for the great reminder! I fully support your new summer content schedule. Looking forward to seeing new videos every OTHER week! 🙂💕 Blessings!
I'm going to bet every other week content that comes from a refreshed, less stressed Diana will be more fruitful than trying to get weekly vids done in a hurry! Great example to set! And I go back and forth between both extremes as well, I'm trying to learn the middle road approach....perhaps even more so in terms of accepting doing something "good enough" versus "do it right or not at all" ;) have a blessed summer and enjoy this extra time with your kids!
I tend to be the throw it all out personality. Because yes it's so annoying to make all these plans and then things don't work the way I thought they would. And definitely trying to shove through and make my plan work even though it's obvious it's not going to definitely doesn't glorify the Lord. But a lot of times I get so defeated and tired that I just don't even do it. To my detriment with homeschooling there have been days where I just throw it out, which then ends up making us behind. And this has not helped my children learn how to be flexible either.
Yes, that is SUCH a great point you make that these situations are an opportunity to show our children the skills/God-glorifying responses they can use when things don't go as planned!
Thanks for watching! Please subscribe! And, comment and let me know-How do you tend to react when things don’t go as planned?

Oh man! I definitely still need to work on that doing things good enough part! :D
