Holding on to those we love: Making our husbands and families priority
August 21, 2010 by Beth Jones · 3 Comments
Family picnic
I haven’t been ignoring you lately with not blogging as much! I’ve just been busy getting ready for three major events coming up:
- My Step Up! webinar on August 31 with Lois Graham and Kim Ehlers
- My Wash Over Me retreat on September 17-18
- My speaking engagement in Phoenix at She Shall Be Called Woman conference in October.
To help me stay on track, I use a task management system that I love, Manymoon. It will help you to keep focused on your priority to-do’s, breaking down your tasks each day. You receive an emailed copy of your daily tasks as a reminder after you have entered them on the site. This helps if you’re really busy the night before, and when you open your email in the morning and see the list, it’s an “Oh, yeah!” moment – and then you don’t forget your important to-do’s!
I also use a Franklin Covey Dayplanner to stay organized, and am the queen of sticky notes. 
(I LOVE sticky notes!) What tools do you use to help you with your busy schedule? Many people use their palm pilot, laptop, cell phone, or Ipad.
No matter how much I have to do each day, though, I don’t ever want to be so busy that my family comes last place. One of the reasons wahm’s have an at-home business is to be able to spend more time with our families. Yet how often does the business take over our lives and things get out of balance – and we’re putting our husbands, kids, and friends on hold so we can get just one more thing done for the day?
It’s important for us as wives to connect with our husbands each day to build that relationship. This is especially true if you are a woman who is struggling in her marriage and feels very alone – and needs to draw closer to her man.
This morning at work, Ray had to respond to a call that was a house fire. His patient was a man in his 70′s, whose arms had been burned. The reason they were burned is that he was trying to pull his wife out of the fire. She was allegedly stuck in a window, and he would not let her go. Unfortunately, the wife did not live.
I thought this was an incredibly sad, but potent story. A man who loved his wife so much, he would not let her go to save her, at the risk of his own life. It is what Christ did for us the Church. He died so that we could have an intimate relationship and live forever with God.
I encourage you, take some time today to spend with those important people in your life, making your husband, children, family, and friends a top priority. Hold onto those you love, making each moment count.

Get ready! Ladies’ “Wash Over Me” retreat
August 1, 2010 by Beth Jones · Leave a Comment
Wash Over Me retreat – woman in waterfall
One of the most loved stories in the Bible by women is that of Queen Esther. Hadassah was a young Jewish girl who was taken with other virgins to the palace of the King Ahasuerus in Shushan to replace his wife, the Queen Vashti. Vashti had refused to come to to the king to display her beauty to the people and the officials, during his 7-day feast when he commanded it.
Enraged, he took her crown and was going to give her royal position to another woman more worthy of the crown. God raised up beautiful Hadassah, also called Esther, “for such a time as this” – and ultimately she was used by God to save herself and her people the Jews from destruction at the hands of their enemy Haman, promoted above all princes in the palace.
It is an incredible love story of a King and the bride Esther, and is symbollic of Christ and the Church. One of the things which Esther did in preparation to meet the King was to prepare for six months bathing in myrrh, and to prepare for six months in beauty treatments and perfumes. She was made ready before coming into the presence of the Royal King.
Are you preparing your heart to meet with the King of Kings, Jesus? Is your heart, your life, beautiful before God? That is the theme of this One Day Intensive retreat, Wash Over Me. You will enjoy a day to just pull away and spend time with God and His Royal Daughters.
This teaching and much more are going to be shared at the Ladies’ One Day Intensive in Butler, MO, this fall. Here are some of the topics that will be covered:
You will just love it! Join Patty Bartlett, Diane Bishop, me, and other anointed women of God for this fun, refreshing ladies’ conference.

The price includes both the Friday night and all-day Saturday worship, teaching sessions, and brunch!
The Early Bird special is $25 by August 30, 2010, and after August 30, 2010, the price is $30. You pay by check, money order, or Paypal.
Ladies, mark your calendars today!

I hope you’re having a great week! I wanted to share with you some exciting “irons in the fire” that are coming up soon. One is the interview I had this week at TalkShoe with Laurie Neumann, author of her great website Christian Home Business Connection. Laurie interviewed me on my writing and speaking business. She is making a product from this interview and some other goodies that will be available for sale soon. I’ll let you know about the details as soon as possible! We had a lot of fun recording it together.
There are two speaking engagements on the horizon, one women’s conference with my friend Diane Bishop in the fall 2010 here in town, and another in sunny Phoenix, Arizona at Norma Washington Motivational Ministries’ women’s conference on October 30, 2010. I’d LOVE to see you at these conferences! Stay tuned for more details on my fall conference with Diane. To sign up for the Phoenix retreat, you can register here.
Another “iron in the fire” that I am SO excited about is an upcoming webinar with a precious new friend, something I’ve NEVER done before - but I believe God put it on my heart to do this.

Walking With God ebook
March 4, 2010 by Beth Jones · Leave a Comment
As Christians we know we should pray and that we need to pray more. But there’s an even better reason than Christian duty to pray. It’s that God just wants to be with us! He is just WILD about you and me!
Would you like a closer, more passionate relationship with God through daily prayer and studying His word? Spending time with Jesus at His feet like Mary of Bethany did?
You don’t have to pray for hours every day, or get up at the crack of dawn either. God never goes on vacation. He doesn’t have call waiting. And He doesn’t have to try to squeeze you in on His Dayplanner. God is always there for you!
This ebook also includes BONUS goodies – two of my articles on prayer, plus Session #2 of my 7-audio, bundle set on quiet time with God. To learn more about my ebook Walking With God for sale for only $10.99, click here.
A new look for preparation of January launch
December 30, 2009 by Beth Jones · Leave a Comment
Celebrity new hairstyle
If you have noticed Tablet Of My Heart’s website appears different, it has gotten a little bit of a new look. The “search” feature is now underneath the RSS and email subscribe button at the top of the page on the right hand side. My personal mailing list sign-up for the weekly ezine has been moved down a little on the page.
I have temporarily made some articles and other pages private to make room for some new articles and products for sale, and have added a new heading on the black navigational bar (7-audio sessions).
Kelly with FreshNets helped me with the change to my website’s search feature, so I could add the new heading (7-audio sessions) on the black navigational bar at the top of the page. The new changes are preparation for Cindy Rushton’s group coaching program class’ BIG LAUNCH in January 2010, and to make room for the new products I am working on this coming year.
Some of the students in Cindy’s coaching group who are EXCELLENT writers and speakers will be teaching and sharing words of encouragement on Cindy’s upcoming show in one month, so stay tuned for a VERY exciting event! You don’t want to miss this one! I can’t WAIT!
All of us students in her coaching program will be introducing our brand-new products that we began creating in her class during the four weeks in December. I HIGHLY recommend Cindy’s coaching program. Cindy is a mighty woman of God, and she just pours out His love, wisdom, and very practical, helpful advice on making information products, based on over 20 years of great success in writing and speaking. She has another coaching program coming up soon. You can find out more at www.cindyrushton.com or email her at cindy@cindyrushton.com.
For my product in Cindy’s class, I am finishing up a 7-audio series on prayer, based on my book Walking With God, that will include freebie session questions, freebie session articles, and other goodies, in a bundle set for sale.
This audio set will include practical, useful tips for how to have that daily quiet time with God in the midst of a noisy, hectic, rushed world! So many of us wives and moms have a long to-do list every day, and we feel like we can’t squeeze in just ONE more thing. This series will encourage you to make prayer to God a #1 priority in your life, and will give you helpful tips for HOW to make that happen – and it does not have to take an HOUR, but in just a few minutes a day. You will see what a difference prayer can make in YOUR life and in those around you!
If you are not already signed up for my personal mailing list for my weekly ezine, sign up today so you’ll be sure to not miss any new updates or announcements about this upcoming launch in one month!
Just go to the top of the page on the right hand side, and fill in your email address. Your email address is safe with me; I will never sell, rent, or give it away; you will NOT receive spam from me! What you WILL receive is a weekly ezine with encouragement from God’s word in mini-articles, updates on what’s new here at Tablet Of My Heart, a link to my newest podcast, and freebie articles and audios to bless you and to encourage you in your friendship with God.
