Hello, everyone!
 I've seen a lot of inspirational, godly, and beneficial blogs lately, so I thought I would share with you my finds.

•  Suko Family

 This is my family's blog. My father, Caleb, is the main one who posts on it. We are missionaries to Ukraine and updates on what's happening in our ministry are sent out if you choose to subscribe!

 Run by my lovely cousin and friend, Rachelle, this wonderful blog contains Bible verses, DIY's, recipes, and much more! I'm sure she'd be thrilled if you visited. 

• Beautiful In God's Eyes

This blog is owned by a Christian girl named Alexandra. She posts mainly about modest fashion that pleases the Lord. Photography is also one of her skills! Go ahead and check her blog out.

• One Bright Corner 

 The writers on this fine blog are twin sisters, Lauren and Mikaela. The posts are so inspirational, uplifting, and straight to the point. Focused on what God wants in our lives, this blog has many amazing devotionals and stories.

Tips On Being Diligent

Hello, once again!
Today I've decided to write a post with a few suggestions on how to keep up with your tasks and not fall behind. Personally, since my mom is homeschooling my siblings and me, it gets a bit challenging to be diligent and not get distracted with little kids running around the house. (But I do adore them!)
 Now, without further ado, on to the tips:

• Get rid of the distractions

 That's right, you heard me. Close that Pinterest tab... Good. Now the Facebook. You're getting the hang of this! Without distractions, any task you're attempting to complete will take much less time to accomplish without interruptions.

• Get motivated

 Set aside a small, special treat for yourself for once you finish your task. Remind yourself about it during the process to get you motivated.

• Set a time limit

 How long do you think it will take you to complete your task? If you have several chores to complete, set a certain amount of time to do each. This will also keep you motivated to get the task done. Don't be in too much in a hurry! Remember, quality comes first.

• Pray!

Last but certainly not least, ask the Lord for help beforehand. He is always willing to uplift and encourage. Even the Bible talks about working hard:

And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and in accordance with the law and commandments, seeking God, he did with all his heart, and prospered.

~2 Chronicles 31:21

Phew! Doesn't it feel good to have all those tasks of your back? I know I always feel relieved.

I hope that you found this post helpful! If you have any more tips, please comment. It would be greatly appreciated. 

 Posts from a new author and guest posts on Lavender Patch coming soon!
