Providing ideas, encouragement, and spiritual tips for balancing your life.

This is the Official page for the book: “Balancing Blessings and Obtaining Order” by Sandra Miller. Here, we help women declutter their lives, deepen their faith, and live intentionally for God. Our books, planning resources, and community challenges are stepping stones for Work-Life Balance.

We’re stepping into the FIRST FULL WEEK of our 30-Day Declutter Your Life Challenge!

Our updated challenge webpage is ready! You’ll find everything you need to get started, including how the challenge works, what counts, and answers to common questions.

The goal: Let go of 100 items in 30 days.

This year, YOU choose where to begin and what to release. Start with a drawer, a closet, or that little pile you keep walking past. Spend 10–20 minutes and choose a few items to donate, sell, recycle, or responsibly discard.

As we make room in our homes, let’s prayerfully consider what we’re making room for, and that is peace, time with loved ones, and what matters most to God.

Haven’t started yet? You’re welcome to join us today!

I’m Back… and Our Annual Declutter Challenge Starts TODAY!

If things have seemed a little quiet around here lately, there’s a reason. This summer, I’ve been in the middle of transitioning to a new location, and between the move, getting settled, work, ministry, and everyday life, I simply haven’t had the opportunity to post as much as I would have liked.

But October is here and you know what that means!

Our Annual Balancing Blessings Declutter Challenge begins TODAY, October 1!

For the next 30 days, we’re going to be intentional about clearing out the things that are taking up space in our homes and our lives.

Our goal is simple:

-- 30 Days
-- 100 Items
-- More Order. Less Clutter. More Room for What Matters.

You don’t have to clean out your entire house overnight. We’re taking it one day, one drawer, one closet, and one decision at a time.

And after spending much of my summer transitioning and dealing with everything that comes with a move, I can tell you: "I’m ready to declutter too!"

So grab a box or bag and join me.

Who’s joining me for this year’s Challenge?

Drop a 🙋🏾‍♀️ or “I’m in!” in the comments.

Let’s make room not just for a more orderly home, but for the things God is calling us to give our time and attention to.

I believe that God is working even when we're quiet.

It's been a little bit since I've posted here, but I wanted to stop by and say hello!

Over the past several weeks, my life has been busy. I've been serving in ministries at my church, balancing the responsibilities of my full-time career as an IT manager, and working behind the scenes on several exciting projects for Balancing Blessings.

One of those projects is something completely new for me, a different genre that I'm excited to share when the time is right. I've also been creating new resources, writing, and talking to encourage women to pursue balance, order, and a deeper walk with God.

Thank you to everyone who has continued following this page. I appreciate your support more than you know.

I'd love to know... what has God been teaching you lately?

There is something powerful about opening your Bible, picking up a pen, and writing down the things God is placing on your heart.

In my latest post, I’m sharing thoughts on the beauty of the Bible, the pen, and the notebook, and how these simple tools can strengthen your walk with God.

Happy Monday & Belated Happy Mother’s Day

Yesterday, we celebrated mothers, the women who nurture, encourage, pray, teach, sacrifice, and love so deeply every single day. Whether you are a mother, grandmother, spiritual mother, mentor, or someone who lovingly pours into others, your impact matters more than words can express.

As we begin this new week, keep in mind that God sees everything. All the quiet acts of love, every prayer prayed over your family, and every moment you continue showing up, even when it’s hard.

“Her children rise up and call her blessed…” ~ Proverbs 31:28

Give yourself grace and step into this week knowing that the work you do in love is never wasted.

She starts her week with intention:

Not rushing.
Not overwhelmed.
Not striving.

But grounded in faith, guided by wisdom, and trusting God with the outcome.

This week, choose progress over perfection, and God will meet you in your obedience.

If you’ve been feeling the pressure of urgency, my latest blog post may encourage you: "Shifting from Urgency to Growth."

Easter reminded me of this:
God gives us the grace to rise again, and not just on Sunday, but every single day.

So if today feels busy, heavy, or a little off‑balance, breathe.
The same Jesus who conquered the grave is the One who strengthens you for the week ahead.

May your Monday be filled with: renewed hope, intentional joy, and the peace that comes from knowing He lives

Happy Monday!

A new week means a fresh start. Take one small step today toward creating the balanced life you desire. Little steps lead to lasting blessings.

Happy Monday, friends!

This is a small reminder that balance doesn’t happen by accident; it happens on purpose.

Today, choose to:

1. Start with prayer
2. Focus on what truly matters
3. Release the clutter in your mind, home, and heart

You don’t have to do everything today. Just take one faithful step toward order, peace, and purpose. The Bible reminds us to: “Let all things be done decently and in order.” ~ 1 Corinthians 14:40

This is the last month of my 90-day challenge with a friend. We started at the beginning of the year. This last month, I will focus on progress over perfection and trust God to guide every goal, task, and decision.

-- Small steps.
-- Focused prayer.
-- Intentional decisions.

That is the essence of a balanced and blessed life. Stay blessed.

Tuesday's Tip

Years ago, someone I knew came across an article about unclaimed money and decided to check it out just for fun. She honestly didn’t expect to find anything, but when she typed in her name, a claim popped up that she had no idea existed. She verified the site, followed the steps, submitted the requested documents, and waited to see what would happen.

A short time later, she got the confirmation, and then the money came. What started as a random moment of curiosity turned into a real blessing she never saw coming.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you have unclaimed money out there, here are two safe and legal ways to check:

1. Use the official government‑endorsed site:
Go to MissingMoney.com: it’s the trusted national database where most states report unclaimed funds. You can search by your name or past addresses for free.

2. Check your state’s unclaimed property office:
Every state has its own treasury website where unclaimed money is listed. Just search for your state’s “Unclaimed Property” page and run your name there, too. It’s quick, secure, and completely free.
