Cooking is an important skill and "one home-cooked meal a week" sounds quite doable for you right now. When you get comfortable with that, perhaps you could increase it to two meals a week.

I have very young nieces that I spend time with, but I've quickly learned that I need to learn more in this area! They run me ragged!! LOL...I guess I have been so busy with my own life right now (translation: school, work, church) that I don't have much time with them, especially in the area of going somewhere alone with them. My sister in law's sister, whom I work with, and myself took our nieces out to lunch and I was a nervous mess...because I was not used to having them with me. I believe that I have a lot ot learn...

It can be hard to express "what it is I want" but at least trying forces us to think. :-) One of the most important things, I think, is to recognize whether we are working toward what we really want or toward goals that we really DON'T want to achieve. This really touches me: ". . . having a well organized home that he will want to come home to. . . " in both heart-warming and convicting ways. ;-) I want that too and it's something I need to work toward. Thank you for sharing.
