I have to admit, one of the biggest challenges since we started hosting a church in our home has been ensuring that our marriage relationship and our relationships with the kids aren't given the leftovers. Adding the extra tasks of food preparation, hosting, and cleanup each week consumes a significant amount of time. Add to that attempting to be available to those who have needs throughout the week and family can be quickly lost in the process.
Since one of the primary goals of the church at our house is to encourage fellow Christians in their family relationships it is important that we find the right balance for our time. Crystal and I have both felt somewhat overwhelmed in the past few weeks trying to fit it all in. I pray that God will give us the wisdom to make the tough choices when it comes to our time: becoming better organized so as to maximize the time we have and learning to cut the unimportant from our schedules.
