Who We Are

How do we young women live out Proverbs 31 in a modern world? The Proverbs Lady is a proud CEO. She is trustworthy, caring, careful, strong, businesslike, diligent, and wise. She builds up her house and blesses her husband, children, coworkers and neighbors. How do we apply those characteristics to our lives? We are a group of women in our late 20s. Some of us work. Some of us stay at home. Some of us are single. Some of us are married. (Some of us even have children. Wow!) We live in different communities. We have different ambitions. But we all have Christ in common.

CEO at 25 is a forum for us to share our thoughts, dreams, worries, epiphanies, chores, and advice. It is our hope that we will be a blessing to you and to women in various walks of life who are seeking Christ in this complicated world.

Operation: Take Back The House

1. Rule of Housecleaning
You can't organize clutter.

Let me repeat that:

YOU CAN'T ORGANIZE CLUTTER.

The Clutter Test
1. Is it useful?
a. If so-is it stored in a convenient place? Where do I use it most? How will I find it when I need it?
b. If it is not useful – go to question 2.

2. Is it beautiful?
a. If so, is it displayed to its best advantage?
b. If not, how hard will it be to show it off? Is it worth the trouble to frame or preserve?

3. Does it have sentimental value?
a. If so, is it stored in a safe place? Will it be preserved? How much trouble is it to preserve? Can I turn it into something useful?

When cleaning and clearing out messes, I need to ask myself these questions. If an object doesn’t pass the clutter test, then it is going in the garbage or to goodwill.

I think I also need to draw up a schedule for cleaning so that I can do a little every day and not get swamped on the weekend. Keeping up with the laundry and simple cleaning can really make a difference over the week.
