Making Your Home a Haven: Fall Challenge - Week 1

I am so excited {{{Squeal, squeal!!!}}} for this Fall Challenge. I always look forward to doing this challenge every year. As I stated in previous post. So today is the first week....yay! {{jumping up for JOY!!}}

Here is this weeks Challenge info, please also click here to check out more of WLW's info on this week. 

Week 1 – CHALLENGE:

Go buy an extra large candle and light a candle everyday in your home. I will be starting mine in the morning but you can start yours at dinner time or whenever is convenient for you.  I will be placing mine in the kitchen – the main hub of my home.

Each time the glimmer of the candle catches your eye, say a prayer for peace and patience within your home.

You are an environment.

Let’s make our homes feel more like a warm hug than a cold shoulder for all those who find refuge under our roof this week!

So if you already have fall scented you don't need to buy a new. Also if your on a budget the Dollar Tree sells some for $1, they are cute and smell yummy. Another great store that sells amazing smelling candles is Bath and Body works. They are having some sales on their current Fall candles right now, and if you use your 20% you can get some on the cheap. 

She wanted us to chime in...here's some questions she asked. 

What type of environment are you? Here's a few examples she gave on her blog

 Have you ever considered that YOU are an environment?  What type of environment are you?

Are you the warm and hospitable type? I can be

Are you the cheery, sunshine type? Sometimes, not all the time. 

Are you calm and quiet? Most of the time

Harried and hurried? During parties with lots of people....working on this one. 

Irritable and angry? Sometimes, when I'm feeling rushed. 

Or perhaps tired and ticked-off? This past weekend I was due to lack of sleep, oh Lord forgive me. 

What type of environment are you? All of the above.

What gets in the way of your peace and patience in your home? Satan, my flesh, not relying or trusting in God first. 

Have you begun to light your candle?  What scent is your candle and does your family like the candle? I lit it this weekend, they love coming home to a nice smelling home. Today was cleaning day so I will be lighting one of our new ones. See pics below

Here’s a picture of what I’m using this week – I LOVE these scents from Bath and Body works, these I was not planning on buying but I took my daughter and her friends bday shopping. They wanted to go in and I just had to splurge with sales and coupons they came out pretty cheap. Yay!! 

Here is another candle, see pic below,  I will be using this week as well, I was blessed by a friend last week with this amazing scented candle.

So excited for this challenge! Thanks Courtney again, love you sis, you are such a blessing and Titus 2 Woman for all of us walking with the King!!

Thank you for stopping by.....
 Blessings,
