So much of our stress comes from us thinking that we can control the people and the things in our life. So when we're just gripping so tightly to everything, and trying to make our plan work, that's when we feel so much frustration.\r\n\r\nDave (00:40):\r\n\r\nWelcome to FamilyLife Today, where we want to help you pursue the relationships that matter most. I'm Dave Wilson.\r\n\r\nAnn (00:46):\r\n\r\nAnd I'm Ann Wilson, and you can find us at FamilyLifeToday.com. This is FamilyLife Today.\r\n\r\nDave (01:00):\r\n\r\nSo here's my question for you: \u201cIf there's a class that isn't taught in high school, that should be\u201d\u2014don't look at your notes; I don't want any pre-thought. I know you know where we're going today, so you probably have a thought in your head\u2014\"what would it be?\u201d\r\n\r\nAnn (01:12):\r\n\r\nMarriage\u2014\r\n\r\nDave (01:13):\r\n\r\nMarriage?\u2014and family.\r\n\r\nAnn (01:14):\r\n\r\n\u2014and how to have a great relationship: communication and conflict skills.\r\n\r\nDave (01:17):\r\n\r\nWow, that's not what I was thinking. I was thinking you would answer based on who we have in the studio with us today, something on time management.\r\n\r\nAnn (01:26):\r\n\r\nI would have flunked that class, because I'm really bad at that. I think that this is really necessary. I think that would have been a great class in high school; because we all have to, somehow, manage our time. It gets really tricky if we're moms: if we're juggling a lot of different jobs, activities, all kinds of things. \r\n\r\nBut yes, we have Crystal Paine back in the studio with us today. Crystal, you've been on before; but welcome to FamilyLife Today.\r\n\r\nCrystal (01:52):\r\n\r\nThank you so much; I'm excited to be here. I have two more children since the last time I was here. \r\n\r\nDave (01:57):\r\n\r\nSo you really need to manage your time.\r\n\r\nCrystal (01:59):\r\n\r\nI went from four to six in one year. \r\n\r\nAnn: Four to six; give our listeners a little inside scoop of what happened. You decided to adopt a little boy.\r\n\r\nCrystal (02:08):\r\n\r\nYes. We were fostering\u2014and we'd been fostering little David; we fostered him for \r\n\r\n22 months before we adopted him\u2014we said, \u201cYes,\u201d to adopting him right as I was in the middle of writing this book, actually. It kind of came about in a very unexpected way. And then, four weeks later, found out I was expecting. I wrote this book on time management in the middle of morning, noon, and night sickness, with two toddlers and three teenagers.\r\n\r\nAnn (02:34):\r\n\r\nIf you can do it; and write a book, and apply these principles, then that's pretty miraculous to me.\r\n\r\nDave (02:41):\r\n\r\nI remember seeing the title of your last chapter: \u201cThe Chapter I Never Expected to Write.\u201d I'm like, \u201cI wonder what this is?\u201d; because I didn't know. I'm like, \u201cOh, my goodness!\u201d\u2014you talk about time management.\r\n\r\nBut tell our listeners\u2014they know this\u2014but you're sort of the mother of Facebook. Didn't you start Facebook; aren't you the one?\r\n\r\nCrystal (02:57):\r\n\r\nYeah, me and Mark Zuckerberg just go way back; no. I've been blogging since 2004\/2005. That was back before people can even imagine social media. We did not have social media\u2014we had blogs; we had comments; we had email\u2014that's what we had. It's crazy; I could never imagine what the internet is like today.\r\n\r\nAnn (03:19):\r\n\r\nWhat were you blogging about?\r\n\r\nCrystal (03:21):\r\n\r\nI first started blogging just on motherhood, and life, and all of that. And then, quickly found that people were very interested in saving money. My husband and I were\u2014he was in law school\u2014we were living in this little basement apartment on a beans-and-rice budget. We were trying to stay out of debt while he was in law school. I was learning lots of ways to maximize the mileage of our money and started mentioning it on this little blog that I had. People were like: \"Tell me more,\u201d \u201cWait; how did you do that? How did you buy all your groceries for $17 this week? I need more details.\" I started sharing more on that; and pretty soon realized there was enough interest that I would start this little side thing, in 2007, called Money Saving Mom\u00ae.\r\n\r\n(04:00) Within a year, we were making a full-time income off of that blog. It just kind of morphed into something far beyond what I could ever dream or imagine. And now, it's our full-time thing that we do. My husband is home full time\u2014he's an attorney by trade\u2014but is home, full time. That's what we do: helping people to save money. And then, also on Instagram, I'm the Money Saving Mom on Instagram, just sharing through my podcast, and through Instagram, how to live with intention and love your life.\r\n\r\nDave (04:27):\r\n\r\nYou went from, it sounds, like a big overlap between Money Saving Mom and this book, The Time-Saving Mom. Walk us through what that is. Is it taking money principles and applying it to time, or is it much deeper?\r\n\r\nCrystal (04:40):\r\n\r\nDefinitely it is. There is a lot of overlap between money and time. Those are the two commodities that, a lot of times, people feel like they just never have enough of. I talk, in this book, about how money and time are correlated; but also, how they're different. \r\n\r\nOne of the things is: if we're intentional with our money\u2014I've talked about budgeting for years and years\u2014if we have a budget for our money, it feels like the money goes further; we're just more careful with how we spend it. I feel that the same is true with time. I talk about my time block to-do list in the book. If I budget my time\u2014which is what a time block to-do list is for me\u2014I feel like I have so much more of it. I'm so much calmer, and I'm so much more intentional in how I spend my time.\r\n\r\nAnn (05:25):\r\n\r\nEvery listener's like, \"I need that!\" The subtitle is How to Juggle a Lot, Enjoy Your Life, and Accomplish What Matters Most.\r\n\r\nDave (05:32):\r\n\r\nNobody wants to do that.\r\n\r\nAnn (05:34):\r\n\r\nI read that sometime like, yes, yes, yes\u2014but I'm thinking of the listener, because this is me\u2014I'm thinking, \"I'm just not good with budgeting my money or my time. Does that mean I'm out? I'm out, like: \u2018This won't apply to me,\u2019 or \u2018Is it doable?\u2019\u201d\r\n\r\nCrystal (05:49):\r\n\r\nI think a lot of people, when they hear\u2014just even the title: The Time-Saving Mom\u2014you instantly think, \u201cOh, this is for people who are really organized, or for people who really want to be organized.\u201d There's nothing wrong with wanting to be more organized; I think that that's great. But this isn't about fitting everyone into a one-size-fits-all sort of plan. \r\n\r\nThis is about being intentional with your life\u2014that is going to look different for different people, depending upon your temperament, depending upon your life situation\u2014and so figuring out what it looks like for you to be intentional with your time. I think for some\u2014it\u2019s not necessarily having this super-rigid schedule\u2014for other people, it might look like that. It's more about wrapping your time, and your life, and your energy around what's going to matter at the end of your life.\r\n\r\nDave (06:35):\r\n\r\nIt's not just a wiring\u2014because there's a part of me that thinks, \"I'm just not wired that way,\"\u2014you're saying it doesn't matter how you're wired. This is something you can intentionally decide to choose to do. Am I putting words in your mouth, or is that true?\r\n\r\nCrystal (06:48):\r\n\r\nWell, I think it's a little bit of both; because I do think we need to have somewhat of a mindset shift. I talk about, in the book, how, if we say: \"I'm not this\u2026\"\u2014if you tell yourself: \"I'm not an organized person,\" or \"I could never do that,\" or \"That's just not who I am,\"\u2014you're never going to change. \r\n\r\nWe all want to be growing, and changing, and learning; but within the confines of how God has created us, so figuring out our wirings and figuring out how we can use those to the glory of God. One of the things for me was to stop saying, \"I'm not this.\" For the longest time, I just told myself these negative things; truly it was negative things. If we just stay stuck in that, we're never going to change. \r\n\r\n(07:34) I talk about, in the book, how feelings follow action; so act as if you are a more organized person; that doesn't mean that you have to become an extremely organized person. \u201cWhat would an organized person do?\u201d\u2014\"Well, let's act as if\u2026\u201d \u201cOr what would a person, who uses their time well, what would they do? Let's act as if that\u2026\u201d Probably, some feelings are going to follow action.\r\n\r\nDave (07:52):\r\n\r\nThat's good; that's really good.\r\n\r\nAnn (07:54):\r\n\r\nI think it's good, too. And especially, I feel like you have even more credibility because, those with teenagers, their life is crazy on-the-go\u2014they're at every event; they have so many activities; they're driving; you're going to all these school things; sports\u2014but then, you also have these littles in your home, where they're napping; you're nursing. You've got whole different lives going on underneath one roof. And so did you feel like\u2014these principles\u2014you needed them more than ever?\r\n\r\nCrystal (08:25):\r\n\r\nYeah; in \u201cThe Chapter I Never Expected to Write,\u201d I talk about how I actually walked out these principles in that season, where there was a lot of overwhelm and a lot of unexpected. \r\n\r\nYes, our life, every day\u2014it's like I'm straddling college visits, and ACTs, and nursing, and potty training, and ABCs, and everything in between\u2014it's just, sometimes, like this emotional whiplash. But it's wonderful; I feel like our perspective changes so much. So choosing\u2014for me\u2014to see: \u201cThis is a gift; this life is a gift. Every day, I get to show up to my life instead of letting life happen to me.\u201d It changes how I live my life.\r\n\r\nAnn (09:06):\r\n\r\nHow did you come about that attitude? Because I remember, as a young mom, I thought, \u201cI have no life.\u201d I would say that over and over: \u201cI have no life anymore,\u201d\u2014\r\n\r\nDave: I heard her say that a few times.\r\n\r\nAnn: \u2014because\u2014\"I don't even know who I am.\u201d You're taking a whole different side: \"Oh, look at this gift that I'm living.\" How'd that come about?\r\n\r\nCrystal (09:23):\r\n\r\nI think for me\u2014ten years of secondary infertility; and then, having little ones again\u2014I see the scribbling on the wall, the pee on the floor\u2014all of that\u2014I see this is evidence of this gift in my home. The laundry piles: that's evidence of the life that's happening. I really feel like having teenagers\u2014but also, toddlers\u2014 gives you this different perspective, because you know those little years do not last long. They feel like, when you're in the thick of it, it's a lot; and they're never going to learn how to potty train; they're never going to be able to unbuckle themselves out of their car seats. But then, you look at your older ones; you're like, \"It was just a few years; and then, it was over.\" \r\n\r\n(10:08): Recognizing this season of life that I\u2019m in is a gift. And so, waking up every day, and choosing gratitude, and looking for the good. I try to go, throughout my day\u2014and when something unexpected happens\u2014\u201cWhat's the good in this?\u201d\r\n\r\nAnn (10:18):\r\n\r\nAs you say that, I'm thinking of your four-step system.\r\n\r\nDave (10:23):\r\n\r\nWell, I want to ask something real before we go there. You mentioned something that I thought, \u201cI want to hear your journey. You got teens and toddlers\u2014there's a ten-year\/you said a ten-year infertility gap\u2014what was that struggle like?\u201d\r\n\r\nCrystal (10:38):\r\n\r\nWe always wanted to have a large family. My husband and I both come from large families, and always pictured that we would have a large family. We actually never used any kind of birth control. We had three children; and we thought, \"Oh, we're going to probably have eight, or ten, or twelve\u201d; and then, didn't get pregnant. For the first few years, we're in the thick of raising these three little ones; and then, all of a sudden, they're getting older. They start saying, \"When are we going to have another brother or sister?\" And other people are getting pregnant, and we're not. \r\n\r\nAbout eight years into the journey, we looked at each other one day; and we're like, \"The clock is ticking; and if we really want to have more kids, what are we going to do about this?\" We ended up going and getting all the testing and doing all the stuff. We found out then, through the six months of all the testing that they did, at the end, they said we weren't even candidates for IVF. It was just this real gut punch; because we had kind of pictured: \u201cWell, you go to the fertility doctors; and they're going to help you,\u201d and \u201cYou're going to have more kids.\u201d\r\n\r\nAnn (11:38):\r\n\r\nDid you go through a real grieving process?\r\n\r\nCrystal (11:40):\r\n\r\nIt was a real grieving process. The interesting thing is I have this Instagram Live that I did\u2014this video where I talked about how I had pictured that I was going to have a boy and a girl\u2014I just pictured our family wasn't complete, and we were going to have this boy and this girl. So then\u2014it's weird to say this\u2014but it was like I had to grieve the loss of that.\r\n\r\nDave: \u2014even the dream, yes. \r\n\r\nCrystal: Yes; this dream, and what I thought my life was going to be. But then, once\u2014going through that grieving process\u2014realizing: \u201cI have three children. I can spend the rest of my life grieving what I don't have, or being grateful for what I do have.\u201d So just really focusing on the gift, again, of these three children; and \u201cWhat is God going to allow me to do that I wouldn't be able to do if I had eight children?\u201d\r\n\r\n(12:29) We were able to travel, and be involved in ministries overseas; and then, we started getting involved in foster care, locally. Through that, God just opened up our eyes to the need, right in our neighborhood, of these children who didn't have a place to stay. They were sleeping on couches in the DHS office, because there weren't families to take them in. We started praying and just really feeling like God was calling us to foster; and so we said, \u201cYes.\u201d We started on that very long process of all the classes, and the paperwork, and getting our home ready. In the last week of the walkthrough for our foster care home study, I was feeling like something was really off. I was very on-edge, and just frustrated with my family; and I realized I was two weeks late. I said to my husband, \"I think I'm going through early menopause.\" He's like, \"Well, maybe, we should call the OB and see if you can get in for testing.\" The thought never crossed my mind that it was anything other than early menopause.\r\n\r\n(13:33) He was going to call the OB; but then, he was like, \"You know, if we call the OB, they're going to ask if you took a pregnancy test.\" He's like, \"I'm going to go to Walgreens; I'm going to get a pregnancy test. We'll bring it back\u2014you'll take it\u2014and then, we can call them.\" So we did; it was one of those digital ones, which I hadn't taken because it's been a long time since I'd taken a pregnancy test. It popped up right away; and it said, \"Pregnant.\" I kept waiting for the \u201cNot\u201d to come up; because I was like, \u201cSurely, the \u2018Not\u2019 is going to pop up to say \u2018Not Pregnant.\u2019\u201d I waited three minutes, and it didn't. So then, we looked at each other; we're like, \"What on earth? I guess we're doing this!\u201d\r\n\r\n(14:10) That was a long answer to your question, but we just can see God's faithfulness. And then, it ended up that, not only because of secondary infertility, us pursuing foster care\u2014which we got to foster a sweet little boy from the NICU for eight and a half months; and then, see him reunify with his mom\u2014but then, also, our little David\u2014I look at the picture of our family now, and how God has given us that girl and that boy that I never envisioned that we were going to have; but also, this extra bonus boy, who has brought so much joy to our home, who wouldn't be in that picture if it were not for the ten years of secondary infertility. God writes the best stories.\r\n\r\nDave (14:52):\r\n\r\nWow!\r\n\r\nAnn (14:53):\r\n\r\nThat is really beautiful. It just reminds me\u2014I know that so many have struggled with infertility, and it's one of the most painful things that they can experience\u2014but I love that the doctors are like, \"Eh, there's nothing you can do. \" And who knows what God's going to do? There's so many times\u2014don't you think that we have this plan of how God should do it?\u2014\"Lord, this is what I'm thinking,\u201d \u201cThis is what I've dreamed about\u201d; and it doesn't happen the way we want; and yet, God's plan, when we walk it and trust Him, is sometimes even more beautiful than we could even imagine. \r\n\r\nCrystal: For sure. \r\n\r\nAnn: Even when it's hard, He still has some great things, in the hardness, that He's teaching us.\r\n\r\nDave (15:36):\r\n\r\nWhat if the questions you're too embarrassed to ask are the ones your marriage needs answered?\r\n\r\nAnn (15:43):\r\n\r\nMarriage After Dark is FamilyLife's newest podcast, where a real married couple talks openly about healthy God-honoring sex. Yes, the stuff you'd never ask your pastor or your friends.\r\n\r\nDave (15:56):\r\n\r\nYeah. So for more, go to FamilyLife.com\/MarriageAfterDark; because intimacy shouldn't stay in the dark. Again, that's FamilyLife.com\/MarriageAfterDark. \r\n\r\nDave: We're going to talk about your four-step process to get our lives intentionally managed around our time. That's really where we're headed, but I'm so inspired right now by your perspective on gratitude. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s hit you.\r\n\r\nAnn (16:24):\r\n\r\nWell, that's why I was getting into the first one; because it's so different than where our culture tends to go\u2014toward more of the negative and what we don't have\u2014and social media always makes us feel like we're missing out. \r\n\r\nI asked about your four-step system; because the first one is: \u201cTo pray to have that attitude of gratitude, of seeing God in it.\u201d I'm thinking it probably started there, even with your walk with God. As you're talking about it, I'm thinking of Romans: \u201cDon't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.\u201d Has God transformed you in that way to see the good and the beauty?\r\n\r\nCrystal (17:01):\r\n\r\nYes. I really felt like the last few years\u2014with all of the unknowns of foster care, and adopting, and having a child with special needs; and then, also, teenagers and biological children\u2014there's so much of my control that He's taken from me. I used to be someone who's very much a control freak, recognizing: \u201cI truly cannot control my life.\u201d It's so much better when I just release it to Him. And so much of our stress comes from us thinking that we can control the people and the things in our life. And so when we're just gripping so tightly to everything, and trying to make our plan work, that's when we feel so much frustration. \r\n\r\nThis four-step system: The first step being prayer\u2014that posture of our hearts, of releasing to the Lord, and saying, \u201cGod, I'm not enough in and of my own strength; but in Christ, I can do all things.\u201d I talk about what it looks like to live my day out of that posture of: every single day, just leaning on the Lord\u2014relying upon Him\u2014starting my day with prayer, praying over all the details of my day; giving it to God. On those mornings when I didn't get much sleep the night before; on those days when I need to have a hard conversation with a teenager; or there's something that I can't do in my own strength, that feels like it's too much\u2014crying out to the Lord\u2014asking Him for His help; asking Him to multiply my time, multiply my energy, multiply my capacity. He is so faithful; He is the God who multiplies. He can take my little bit of energy\u2014sometimes, I feel like it's like my little crumbs that I offer up to Him\u2014and He multiplies it to be enough. He's just so faithful. Starting from that posture changes everything. \r\n\r\nAnn (18:53): Well, where do you find the time to do that?\r\n\r\nDave: That's my question: \u201cAre you up at four or five in the morning?\u201d \r\n\r\nCrystal (18:56):\r\n\r\nI think, so often, people think of prayer as it needs to happen, on your knees, \r\n\r\n30 minutes of quiet. I can't think of the last time that that has happened in my life. Just this past week, I was working out\u2014a lot of times, I pray while I'm working out\u2014so either walking on the treadmill, lifting weights; something like that. I had three children all around me. One was pulling on my leg; one was wanting to be picked up; the other one was playing right next\u2014there was a lot of commotion\u2014but I could still quiet my heart in the midst of that. I was just praying over my day: praying for my teenagers, praying for what was coming that day. \r\n\r\nPrayer is not necessarily something that has to happen in quiet; that's wonderful if you have that space in your life. But don't discount the power of what I call \u201cflare prayers,\u201d where you just are shooting up a prayer to God. Just yesterday, one of my teens was walking through something hard. I called them, down because we needed to have a conversation. Right before they walked in the door to my bedroom, I just shot up a prayer; I was like, \u201cGod, I don't even know how to have this conversation. I don't even know what I'm supposed to say. I just know that I need to talk to them, and they're struggling. Give me the words.\u201d And He did; He\u2019s just always so faithful.\r\n\r\n(20:05) So often, I feel like we discount His power; we forget. It's like we make prayer our last resort instead of our first response. I feel like, so often, we are then missing out on so much blessing. We have God's Spirit in us; we are supercharged super humans, with super powers, because we have His Spirit in us. Yet, we just walk around like it all depends upon us; and we got to white-knuckle our way through life, feeling all frustrated.\r\n\r\nAnn (20:36):\r\n\r\nPrayer flare; I like that. I think that's the best part of being a mom that I learned is that I'm praying without ceasing\u2014I understood Paul's words, like, \"I get it now,\"\u2014there's no time to just sit for these long periods of time. Some people can get those times; but I found myself, also, praying out loud, with my kids, a lot, which is a great discipleship tool. They're seeing me in the morning, when I'm like, \"Lord, I don't have any energy. None of us slept good last night. I need your strength. I need your power.\" We're driving to school: \u201cLord, I pray for this test, and this friendship.\u201d The kids are praying; we're all praying. It's this great thing for our kids to see, too, that prayer\u2014isn't about Sunday; it's not just about this time with God, which are both wonderful\u2014prayer is this communion and communication with God, all day long.\r\n\r\nDave (21:26):\r\n\r\nPrayer flare; we're going to steal that. \r\n\r\nSeriously, as I'm listening to you, I'm thinking, if you're picking up a book that says The Time-Saving Mom\u2014or any kind of book that says something like: \u201cI'm going to help you manage your time,\u201d\u2014I don't think you expect prayer to be Step One, which is so beautiful, to think, \"Wow; whoa, whoa, whoa.\" It's like: \u201cNo, no, no; prayer is something I do at the end,\u201d or \u201cIf I can't manage my life, I'll go to God.\u201d You're saying: \u201cStart there.\u201d\r\n\r\nHere's what I'm thinking: \u201cThere's a mom, listening, who\u2019s like, when you were talking earlier about your life, I thought of so many moms, going, \u2018That's me. I'm on the treadmill,\u2019 or \u2018I'm in the kitchen; and there's kids here; there\u2019s diapers; food needs to be done.\u2019\" They're lives are out of control. I thought one of you moms should pray.\r\n\r\nAnn (22:12):\r\n\r\nYou should, Crystal.\r\n\r\nDave (22:14):\r\n\r\n\u2014for that mom. Would you be willing to do that?\r\n\r\nAnn (22:15):\r\n\r\nYou've given us a gift even today of: \u201cLook at the people and the things going on in your life that you can be grateful for.\u201d\r\n\r\nDave (22:21):\r\n\r\nI was convicted when you said you walk in the bathroom, and there's toilet paper shredded everywhere. I'm like, \"You're grateful?\" That's a perspective that we don't have, and that leads to joy; gratitude leads to joy. So who's going to pray?\r\n\r\nAnn (22:36):\r\n\r\nCrystal, go ahead.\r\n\r\nCrystal (22:38):\r\n\r\nDear heavenly Father, I just think of the woman, who is listening right now, who is feeling so overwhelmed by her life. She just feels like she's in this deep dark hole. There's so much on her shoulders, and she just can't carry it anymore. She doesn't want to go on. She's lost her joy; she's lost her zest for life. \r\n\r\nI just pray, right now, that You would just scoop her up and that You would help her to feel so carried by You, that she could just have the courage to say, \"God, help me. \" And that You would show up in miraculous ways on her behalf and that she could just start leaning on You instead of feeling like life is all dependent upon her, but that she could put her dependence upon You and that she could see You show up and be great and mighty on her behalf, that You would do exceedingly abundantly above all that she could ever ask or think, and that she could only attribute it to Your power and Your goodness.\r\n\r\n(23:39) And God, I just thank You for the women that You're going to free up from having to carry the burdens of life; because they can cast those burdens on You. You are going to carry them and be faithful. In Jesus' name I pray; amen.\r\n\r\nAnn (23:54):\r\n\r\nOne of the things I love about Crystal Paine is how practical she is and helpful to all of us.\r\n\r\nDave (23:59):\r\n\r\nYeah, she's been helpful to us; that's for sure. \r\n\r\nAnn: For sure. \r\n\r\nDave: And her book is called The Time-Saving Mom: How to Juggle a Lot, Enjoy Your Life, and Accomplish What Matters Most.

So much of our stress comes from us thinking that we can control the people and the things in our life. So when we're just gripping so tightly to everything, and trying to make our plan work, that's when we feel so much frustration.\r\n\r\nDave (00:40):\r\n\r\nWelcome to FamilyLife Today, where we want to help you pursue the relationships that matter most. I'm Dave Wilson.\r\n\r\nAnn (00:46):\r\n\r\nAnd I'm Ann Wilson, and you can find us at FamilyLifeToday.com. This is FamilyLife Today.\r\n\r\nDave (01:00):\r\n\r\nSo here's my question for you: \u201cIf there's a class that isn't taught in high school, that should be\u201d\u2014don't look at your notes; I don't want any pre-thought. I know you know where we're going today, so you probably have a thought in your head\u2014\"what would it be?\u201d\r\n\r\nAnn (01:12):\r\n\r\nMarriage\u2014\r\n\r\nDave (01:13):\r\n\r\nMarriage?\u2014and family.\r\n\r\nAnn (01:14):\r\n\r\n\u2014and how to have a great relationship: communication and conflict skills.\r\n\r\nDave (01:17):\r\n\r\nWow, that's not what I was thinking. I was thinking you would answer based on who we have in the studio with us today, something on time management.\r\n\r\nAnn (01:26):\r\n\r\nI would have flunked that class, because I'm really bad at that. I think that this is really necessary. I think that would have been a great class in high school; because we all have to, somehow, manage our time. It gets really tricky if we're moms: if we're juggling a lot of different jobs, activities, all kinds of things. \r\n\r\nBut yes, we have Crystal Paine back in the studio with us today. Crystal, you've been on before; but welcome to FamilyLife Today.\r\n\r\nCrystal (01:52):\r\n\r\nThank you so much; I'm excited to be here. I have two more children since the last time I was here. \r\n\r\nDave (01:57):\r\n\r\nSo you really need to manage your time.\r\n\r\nCrystal (01:59):\r\n\r\nI went from four to six in one year. \r\n\r\nAnn: Four to six; give our listeners a little inside scoop of what happened. You decided to adopt a little boy.\r\n\r\nCrystal (02:08):\r\n\r\nYes. We were fostering\u2014and we'd been fostering little David; we fostered him for \r\n\r\n22 months before we adopted him\u2014we said, \u201cYes,\u201d to adopting him right as I was in the middle of writing this book, actually. It kind of came about in a very unexpected way. And then, four weeks later, found out I was expecting. I wrote this book on time management in the middle of morning, noon, and night sickness, with two toddlers and three teenagers.\r\n\r\nAnn (02:34):\r\n\r\nIf you can do it; and write a book, and apply these principles, then that's pretty miraculous to me.\r\n\r\nDave (02:41):\r\n\r\nI remember seeing the title of your last chapter: \u201cThe Chapter I Never Expected to Write.\u201d I'm like, \u201cI wonder what this is?\u201d; because I didn't know. I'm like, \u201cOh, my goodness!\u201d\u2014you talk about time management.\r\n\r\nBut tell our listeners\u2014they know this\u2014but you're sort of the mother of Facebook. Didn't you start Facebook; aren't you the one?\r\n\r\nCrystal (02:57):\r\n\r\nYeah, me and Mark Zuckerberg just go way back; no. I've been blogging since 2004\/2005. That was back before people can even imagine social media. We did not have social media\u2014we had blogs; we had comments; we had email\u2014that's what we had. It's crazy; I could never imagine what the internet is like today.\r\n\r\nAnn (03:19):\r\n\r\nWhat were you blogging about?\r\n\r\nCrystal (03:21):\r\n\r\nI first started blogging just on motherhood, and life, and all of that. And then, quickly found that people were very interested in saving money. My husband and I were\u2014he was in law school\u2014we were living in this little basement apartment on a beans-and-rice budget. We were trying to stay out of debt while he was in law school. I was learning lots of ways to maximize the mileage of our money and started mentioning it on this little blog that I had. People were like: \"Tell me more,\u201d \u201cWait; how did you do that? How did you buy all your groceries for $17 this week? I need more details.\" I started sharing more on that; and pretty soon realized there was enough interest that I would start this little side thing, in 2007, called Money Saving Mom\u00ae.\r\n\r\n(04:00) Within a year, we were making a full-time income off of that blog. It just kind of morphed into something far beyond what I could ever dream or imagine. And now, it's our full-time thing that we do. My husband is home full time\u2014he's an attorney by trade\u2014but is home, full time. That's what we do: helping people to save money. And then, also on Instagram, I'm the Money Saving Mom on Instagram, just sharing through my podcast, and through Instagram, how to live with intention and love your life.\r\n\r\nDave (04:27):\r\n\r\nYou went from, it sounds, like a big overlap between Money Saving Mom and this book, The Time-Saving Mom. Walk us through what that is. Is it taking money principles and applying it to time, or is it much deeper?\r\n\r\nCrystal (04:40):\r\n\r\nDefinitely it is. There is a lot of overlap between money and time. Those are the two commodities that, a lot of times, people feel like they just never have enough of. I talk, in this book, about how money and time are correlated; but also, how they're different. \r\n\r\nOne of the things is: if we're intentional with our money\u2014I've talked about budgeting for years and years\u2014if we have a budget for our money, it feels like the money goes further; we're just more careful with how we spend it. I feel that the same is true with time. I talk about my time block to-do list in the book. If I budget my time\u2014which is what a time block to-do list is for me\u2014I feel like I have so much more of it. I'm so much calmer, and I'm so much more intentional in how I spend my time.\r\n\r\nAnn (05:25):\r\n\r\nEvery listener's like, \"I need that!\" The subtitle is How to Juggle a Lot, Enjoy Your Life, and Accomplish What Matters Most.\r\n\r\nDave (05:32):\r\n\r\nNobody wants to do that.\r\n\r\nAnn (05:34):\r\n\r\nI read that sometime like, yes, yes, yes\u2014but I'm thinking of the listener, because this is me\u2014I'm thinking, \"I'm just not good with budgeting my money or my time. Does that mean I'm out? I'm out, like: \u2018This won't apply to me,\u2019 or \u2018Is it doable?\u2019\u201d\r\n\r\nCrystal (05:49):\r\n\r\nI think a lot of people, when they hear\u2014just even the title: The Time-Saving Mom\u2014you instantly think, \u201cOh, this is for people who are really organized, or for people who really want to be organized.\u201d There's nothing wrong with wanting to be more organized; I think that that's great. But this isn't about fitting everyone into a one-size-fits-all sort of plan. \r\n\r\nThis is about being intentional with your life\u2014that is going to look different for different people, depending upon your temperament, depending upon your life situation\u2014and so figuring out what it looks like for you to be intentional with your time. I think for some\u2014it\u2019s not necessarily having this super-rigid schedule\u2014for other people, it might look like that. It's more about wrapping your time, and your life, and your energy around what's going to matter at the end of your life.\r\n\r\nDave (06:35):\r\n\r\nIt's not just a wiring\u2014because there's a part of me that thinks, \"I'm just not wired that way,\"\u2014you're saying it doesn't matter how you're wired. This is something you can intentionally decide to choose to do. Am I putting words in your mouth, or is that true?\r\n\r\nCrystal (06:48):\r\n\r\nWell, I think it's a little bit of both; because I do think we need to have somewhat of a mindset shift. I talk about, in the book, how, if we say: \"I'm not this\u2026\"\u2014if you tell yourself: \"I'm not an organized person,\" or \"I could never do that,\" or \"That's just not who I am,\"\u2014you're never going to change. \r\n\r\nWe all want to be growing, and changing, and learning; but within the confines of how God has created us, so figuring out our wirings and figuring out how we can use those to the glory of God. One of the things for me was to stop saying, \"I'm not this.\" For the longest time, I just told myself these negative things; truly it was negative things. If we just stay stuck in that, we're never going to change. \r\n\r\n(07:34) I talk about, in the book, how feelings follow action; so act as if you are a more organized person; that doesn't mean that you have to become an extremely organized person. \u201cWhat would an organized person do?\u201d\u2014\"Well, let's act as if\u2026\u201d \u201cOr what would a person, who uses their time well, what would they do? Let's act as if that\u2026\u201d Probably, some feelings are going to follow action.\r\n\r\nDave (07:52):\r\n\r\nThat's good; that's really good.\r\n\r\nAnn (07:54):\r\n\r\nI think it's good, too. And especially, I feel like you have even more credibility because, those with teenagers, their life is crazy on-the-go\u2014they're at every event; they have so many activities; they're driving; you're going to all these school things; sports\u2014but then, you also have these littles in your home, where they're napping; you're nursing. You've got whole different lives going on underneath one roof. And so did you feel like\u2014these principles\u2014you needed them more than ever?\r\n\r\nCrystal (08:25):\r\n\r\nYeah; in \u201cThe Chapter I Never Expected to Write,\u201d I talk about how I actually walked out these principles in that season, where there was a lot of overwhelm and a lot of unexpected. \r\n\r\nYes, our life, every day\u2014it's like I'm straddling college visits, and ACTs, and nursing, and potty training, and ABCs, and everything in between\u2014it's just, sometimes, like this emotional whiplash. But it's wonderful; I feel like our perspective changes so much. So choosing\u2014for me\u2014to see: \u201cThis is a gift; this life is a gift. Every day, I get to show up to my life instead of letting life happen to me.\u201d It changes how I live my life.\r\n\r\nAnn (09:06):\r\n\r\nHow did you come about that attitude? Because I remember, as a young mom, I thought, \u201cI have no life.\u201d I would say that over and over: \u201cI have no life anymore,\u201d\u2014\r\n\r\nDave: I heard her say that a few times.\r\n\r\nAnn: \u2014because\u2014\"I don't even know who I am.\u201d You're taking a whole different side: \"Oh, look at this gift that I'm living.\" How'd that come about?\r\n\r\nCrystal (09:23):\r\n\r\nI think for me\u2014ten years of secondary infertility; and then, having little ones again\u2014I see the scribbling on the wall, the pee on the floor\u2014all of that\u2014I see this is evidence of this gift in my home. The laundry piles: that's evidence of the life that's happening. I really feel like having teenagers\u2014but also, toddlers\u2014 gives you this different perspective, because you know those little years do not last long. They feel like, when you're in the thick of it, it's a lot; and they're never going to learn how to potty train; they're never going to be able to unbuckle themselves out of their car seats. But then, you look at your older ones; you're like, \"It was just a few years; and then, it was over.\" \r\n\r\n(10:08): Recognizing this season of life that I\u2019m in is a gift. And so, waking up every day, and choosing gratitude, and looking for the good. I try to go, throughout my day\u2014and when something unexpected happens\u2014\u201cWhat's the good in this?\u201d\r\n\r\nAnn (10:18):\r\n\r\nAs you say that, I'm thinking of your four-step system.\r\n\r\nDave (10:23):\r\n\r\nWell, I want to ask something real before we go there. You mentioned something that I thought, \u201cI want to hear your journey. You got teens and toddlers\u2014there's a ten-year\/you said a ten-year infertility gap\u2014what was that struggle like?\u201d\r\n\r\nCrystal (10:38):\r\n\r\nWe always wanted to have a large family. My husband and I both come from large families, and always pictured that we would have a large family. We actually never used any kind of birth control. We had three children; and we thought, \"Oh, we're going to probably have eight, or ten, or twelve\u201d; and then, didn't get pregnant. For the first few years, we're in the thick of raising these three little ones; and then, all of a sudden, they're getting older. They start saying, \"When are we going to have another brother or sister?\" And other people are getting pregnant, and we're not. \r\n\r\nAbout eight years into the journey, we looked at each other one day; and we're like, \"The clock is ticking; and if we really want to have more kids, what are we going to do about this?\" We ended up going and getting all the testing and doing all the stuff. We found out then, through the six months of all the testing that they did, at the end, they said we weren't even candidates for IVF. It was just this real gut punch; because we had kind of pictured: \u201cWell, you go to the fertility doctors; and they're going to help you,\u201d and \u201cYou're going to have more kids.\u201d\r\n\r\nAnn (11:38):\r\n\r\nDid you go through a real grieving process?\r\n\r\nCrystal (11:40):\r\n\r\nIt was a real grieving process. The interesting thing is I have this Instagram Live that I did\u2014this video where I talked about how I had pictured that I was going to have a boy and a girl\u2014I just pictured our family wasn't complete, and we were going to have this boy and this girl. So then\u2014it's weird to say this\u2014but it was like I had to grieve the loss of that.\r\n\r\nDave: \u2014even the dream, yes. \r\n\r\nCrystal: Yes; this dream, and what I thought my life was going to be. But then, once\u2014going through that grieving process\u2014realizing: \u201cI have three children. I can spend the rest of my life grieving what I don't have, or being grateful for what I do have.\u201d So just really focusing on the gift, again, of these three children; and \u201cWhat is God going to allow me to do that I wouldn't be able to do if I had eight children?\u201d\r\n\r\n(12:29) We were able to travel, and be involved in ministries overseas; and then, we started getting involved in foster care, locally. Through that, God just opened up our eyes to the need, right in our neighborhood, of these children who didn't have a place to stay. They were sleeping on couches in the DHS office, because there weren't families to take them in. We started praying and just really feeling like God was calling us to foster; and so we said, \u201cYes.\u201d We started on that very long process of all the classes, and the paperwork, and getting our home ready. In the last week of the walkthrough for our foster care home study, I was feeling like something was really off. I was very on-edge, and just frustrated with my family; and I realized I was two weeks late. I said to my husband, \"I think I'm going through early menopause.\" He's like, \"Well, maybe, we should call the OB and see if you can get in for testing.\" The thought never crossed my mind that it was anything other than early menopause.\r\n\r\n(13:33) He was going to call the OB; but then, he was like, \"You know, if we call the OB, they're going to ask if you took a pregnancy test.\" He's like, \"I'm going to go to Walgreens; I'm going to get a pregnancy test. We'll bring it back\u2014you'll take it\u2014and then, we can call them.\" So we did; it was one of those digital ones, which I hadn't taken because it's been a long time since I'd taken a pregnancy test. It popped up right away; and it said, \"Pregnant.\" I kept waiting for the \u201cNot\u201d to come up; because I was like, \u201cSurely, the \u2018Not\u2019 is going to pop up to say \u2018Not Pregnant.\u2019\u201d I waited three minutes, and it didn't. So then, we looked at each other; we're like, \"What on earth? I guess we're doing this!\u201d\r\n\r\n(14:10) That was a long answer to your question, but we just can see God's faithfulness. And then, it ended up that, not only because of secondary infertility, us pursuing foster care\u2014which we got to foster a sweet little boy from the NICU for eight and a half months; and then, see him reunify with his mom\u2014but then, also, our little David\u2014I look at the picture of our family now, and how God has given us that girl and that boy that I never envisioned that we were going to have; but also, this extra bonus boy, who has brought so much joy to our home, who wouldn't be in that picture if it were not for the ten years of secondary infertility. God writes the best stories.\r\n\r\nDave (14:52):\r\n\r\nWow!\r\n\r\nAnn (14:53):\r\n\r\nThat is really beautiful. It just reminds me\u2014I know that so many have struggled with infertility, and it's one of the most painful things that they can experience\u2014but I love that the doctors are like, \"Eh, there's nothing you can do. \" And who knows what God's going to do? There's so many times\u2014don't you think that we have this plan of how God should do it?\u2014\"Lord, this is what I'm thinking,\u201d \u201cThis is what I've dreamed about\u201d; and it doesn't happen the way we want; and yet, God's plan, when we walk it and trust Him, is sometimes even more beautiful than we could even imagine. \r\n\r\nCrystal: For sure. \r\n\r\nAnn: Even when it's hard, He still has some great things, in the hardness, that He's teaching us.\r\n\r\nDave (15:36):\r\n\r\nWhat if the questions you're too embarrassed to ask are the ones your marriage needs answered?\r\n\r\nAnn (15:43):\r\n\r\nMarriage After Dark is FamilyLife's newest podcast, where a real married couple talks openly about healthy God-honoring sex. Yes, the stuff you'd never ask your pastor or your friends.\r\n\r\nDave (15:56):\r\n\r\nYeah. So for more, go to FamilyLife.com\/MarriageAfterDark; because intimacy shouldn't stay in the dark. Again, that's FamilyLife.com\/MarriageAfterDark. \r\n\r\nDave: We're going to talk about your four-step process to get our lives intentionally managed around our time. That's really where we're headed, but I'm so inspired right now by your perspective on gratitude. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s hit you.\r\n\r\nAnn (16:24):\r\n\r\nWell, that's why I was getting into the first one; because it's so different than where our culture tends to go\u2014toward more of the negative and what we don't have\u2014and social media always makes us feel like we're missing out. \r\n\r\nI asked about your four-step system; because the first one is: \u201cTo pray to have that attitude of gratitude, of seeing God in it.\u201d I'm thinking it probably started there, even with your walk with God. As you're talking about it, I'm thinking of Romans: \u201cDon't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.\u201d Has God transformed you in that way to see the good and the beauty?\r\n\r\nCrystal (17:01):\r\n\r\nYes. I really felt like the last few years\u2014with all of the unknowns of foster care, and adopting, and having a child with special needs; and then, also, teenagers and biological children\u2014there's so much of my control that He's taken from me. I used to be someone who's very much a control freak, recognizing: \u201cI truly cannot control my life.\u201d It's so much better when I just release it to Him. And so much of our stress comes from us thinking that we can control the people and the things in our life. And so when we're just gripping so tightly to everything, and trying to make our plan work, that's when we feel so much frustration. \r\n\r\nThis four-step system: The first step being prayer\u2014that posture of our hearts, of releasing to the Lord, and saying, \u201cGod, I'm not enough in and of my own strength; but in Christ, I can do all things.\u201d I talk about what it looks like to live my day out of that posture of: every single day, just leaning on the Lord\u2014relying upon Him\u2014starting my day with prayer, praying over all the details of my day; giving it to God. On those mornings when I didn't get much sleep the night before; on those days when I need to have a hard conversation with a teenager; or there's something that I can't do in my own strength, that feels like it's too much\u2014crying out to the Lord\u2014asking Him for His help; asking Him to multiply my time, multiply my energy, multiply my capacity. He is so faithful; He is the God who multiplies. He can take my little bit of energy\u2014sometimes, I feel like it's like my little crumbs that I offer up to Him\u2014and He multiplies it to be enough. He's just so faithful. Starting from that posture changes everything. \r\n\r\nAnn (18:53): Well, where do you find the time to do that?\r\n\r\nDave: That's my question: \u201cAre you up at four or five in the morning?\u201d \r\n\r\nCrystal (18:56):\r\n\r\nI think, so often, people think of prayer as it needs to happen, on your knees, \r\n\r\n30 minutes of quiet. I can't think of the last time that that has happened in my life. Just this past week, I was working out\u2014a lot of times, I pray while I'm working out\u2014so either walking on the treadmill, lifting weights; something like that. I had three children all around me. One was pulling on my leg; one was wanting to be picked up; the other one was playing right next\u2014there was a lot of commotion\u2014but I could still quiet my heart in the midst of that. I was just praying over my day: praying for my teenagers, praying for what was coming that day. \r\n\r\nPrayer is not necessarily something that has to happen in quiet; that's wonderful if you have that space in your life. But don't discount the power of what I call \u201cflare prayers,\u201d where you just are shooting up a prayer to God. Just yesterday, one of my teens was walking through something hard. I called them, down because we needed to have a conversation. Right before they walked in the door to my bedroom, I just shot up a prayer; I was like, \u201cGod, I don't even know how to have this conversation. I don't even know what I'm supposed to say. I just know that I need to talk to them, and they're struggling. Give me the words.\u201d And He did; He\u2019s just always so faithful.\r\n\r\n(20:05) So often, I feel like we discount His power; we forget. It's like we make prayer our last resort instead of our first response. I feel like, so often, we are then missing out on so much blessing. We have God's Spirit in us; we are supercharged super humans, with super powers, because we have His Spirit in us. Yet, we just walk around like it all depends upon us; and we got to white-knuckle our way through life, feeling all frustrated.\r\n\r\nAnn (20:36):\r\n\r\nPrayer flare; I like that. I think that's the best part of being a mom that I learned is that I'm praying without ceasing\u2014I understood Paul's words, like, \"I get it now,\"\u2014there's no time to just sit for these long periods of time. Some people can get those times; but I found myself, also, praying out loud, with my kids, a lot, which is a great discipleship tool. They're seeing me in the morning, when I'm like, \"Lord, I don't have any energy. None of us slept good last night. I need your strength. I need your power.\" We're driving to school: \u201cLord, I pray for this test, and this friendship.\u201d The kids are praying; we're all praying. It's this great thing for our kids to see, too, that prayer\u2014isn't about Sunday; it's not just about this time with God, which are both wonderful\u2014prayer is this communion and communication with God, all day long.\r\n\r\nDave (21:26):\r\n\r\nPrayer flare; we're going to steal that. \r\n\r\nSeriously, as I'm listening to you, I'm thinking, if you're picking up a book that says The Time-Saving Mom\u2014or any kind of book that says something like: \u201cI'm going to help you manage your time,\u201d\u2014I don't think you expect prayer to be Step One, which is so beautiful, to think, \"Wow; whoa, whoa, whoa.\" It's like: \u201cNo, no, no; prayer is something I do at the end,\u201d or \u201cIf I can't manage my life, I'll go to God.\u201d You're saying: \u201cStart there.\u201d\r\n\r\nHere's what I'm thinking: \u201cThere's a mom, listening, who\u2019s like, when you were talking earlier about your life, I thought of so many moms, going, \u2018That's me. I'm on the treadmill,\u2019 or \u2018I'm in the kitchen; and there's kids here; there\u2019s diapers; food needs to be done.\u2019\" They're lives are out of control. I thought one of you moms should pray.\r\n\r\nAnn (22:12):\r\n\r\nYou should, Crystal.\r\n\r\nDave (22:14):\r\n\r\n\u2014for that mom. Would you be willing to do that?\r\n\r\nAnn (22:15):\r\n\r\nYou've given us a gift even today of: \u201cLook at the people and the things going on in your life that you can be grateful for.\u201d\r\n\r\nDave (22:21):\r\n\r\nI was convicted when you said you walk in the bathroom, and there's toilet paper shredded everywhere. I'm like, \"You're grateful?\" That's a perspective that we don't have, and that leads to joy; gratitude leads to joy. So who's going to pray?\r\n\r\nAnn (22:36):\r\n\r\nCrystal, go ahead.\r\n\r\nCrystal (22:38):\r\n\r\nDear heavenly Father, I just think of the woman, who is listening right now, who is feeling so overwhelmed by her life. She just feels like she's in this deep dark hole. There's so much on her shoulders, and she just can't carry it anymore. She doesn't want to go on. She's lost her joy; she's lost her zest for life. \r\n\r\nI just pray, right now, that You would just scoop her up and that You would help her to feel so carried by You, that she could just have the courage to say, \"God, help me. \" And that You would show up in miraculous ways on her behalf and that she could just start leaning on You instead of feeling like life is all dependent upon her, but that she could put her dependence upon You and that she could see You show up and be great and mighty on her behalf, that You would do exceedingly abundantly above all that she could ever ask or think, and that she could only attribute it to Your power and Your goodness.\r\n\r\n(23:39) And God, I just thank You for the women that You're going to free up from having to carry the burdens of life; because they can cast those burdens on You. You are going to carry them and be faithful. In Jesus' name I pray; amen.\r\n\r\nAnn (23:54):\r\n\r\nOne of the things I love about Crystal Paine is how practical she is and helpful to all of us.\r\n\r\nDave (23:59):\r\n\r\nYeah, she's been helpful to us; that's for sure. \r\n\r\nAnn: For sure. \r\n\r\nDave: And her book is called The Time-Saving Mom: How to Juggle a Lot, Enjoy Your Life, and Accomplish What Matters Most.
