Welcome to the 4th Annual “Making Your Home a Haven” Fall Challenge.
If you’ve been around a while – you know all about this fall challenge and might already have your candle going right now!
This year is going to be the biggest Fall Challenge we’ve ever had because – {cue the confetti} we are celebrating the launch of my JUST RELEASED THIS WEEK – book titled: Women Living Well ~ Finding Your Joy in God, Your Man, Your Kids and Your Home. And the publisher has teamed up with me to give out some amazing gifts to WLW readers!!!! {squeal – this is too exciting!!!}
But first let me explain the Challenges for newbies 🙂 then we’ll get to the prizes!
Each week I will give you one practical tip and one spiritual tip that you can do to create a haven in your home.
Is your calendar full? Do you feel tense, rushed and even panicked at times? Do you feel like the rest of the family is feeling the same way?
I believe we can create a physical environment, as well as a spiritual environment, that can bring peace, harmony and a sense of calmness to our homes if we are willing to be intentional.
This challenge will run through the month of October. Check out the video and topics below. If you would like to join me and you are a blogger – I invite you to place my image above, on your blog, and link it back to this post. If you are not a blogger, leave a comment in the comment section to let me know that you would like to join the challenge. If you have not subscribed to my blog – just subscribe in the side bar so you receive the weekly emails!
(if you can’t see the video: click here)
Here’s the topic schedule:
Week 1: October 7th –Go buy an extra large candle and light a candle everyday in your home. I will be starting mine in the morning but you can start yours at dinner time. Do what makes sense for your family. I will be placing mine in the kitchen – the main hub of my home. Each time the candle catches your eye, say a prayer for peace in your home.
The Giveaway:
A year’s supply of Yankee Candles (12 large Jar Candles)
The Giveaway:
10 Pack of Games including – Checkers, Scrabble, Monopoly,
Uno, Battleship, Pictionary, Apples to Apples, Candy Land, Risk, & Life.
The Giveaway:
A Kitchen Aid Mixer
The Giveaway:
Potttery Barn Christmas Wall Art
So let’s begin – let’s begin by cleaning up clutter in our homes this week. Fall is a great time to pick a closet or drawer or cabinet to clean out. While we’re at it – let’s clean up some clutter in our spiritual lives.
Think about – what gets in the way of your peace spiritually?
Could it be that the noise of this world has crowded out the voice of the GREAT I AM?
Jesus said:
“I am the bread of life.” John 6:35
“I am the light of the world.” John 8:12
“I am the door.” John 10:9
I am the good shepherd.” John 10:11
“I am the resurrection and the life.” John 11:25
“I am the way, and the truth and the life.” John 14:6
“I am the vine.” John 15:5
Turn to the GREAT I AM this week – listen to his voice. Let him be your bread, your light, your door, your shepherd, your resurrection, your life, your truth and your vine.
Walk with the King,
Courtney

I also can only reply: I love to do this but I am not a blogger. This is a wonderful idea and needed. I do live alone, my children are grown and my son is in the military. I will still do this regardless, especially the candle and I can send baked goods to our soldiers. For game night, I will play Bible trivia and of course my music. Thanks! Great contest.
Linda

Sorry, I tried to enter the giveaway but after adding my name saw that the only options are for FB and I am not on FB. Great giveaways though 🙂
Theresa – when you enter your email address you are automatically entered to win 🙂 The other options are just for extra entries! 🙂 So if you entered your email address – your name is on the list to win! 🙂
Sorry for the confusion.
Courtney
So excited to get started 🙂
I love that tip. I’m always trying to find new ways to remind myself to pray for certain things. I’ve been lighting a candle each day, since the rain began again in our neck of the woods so this is easy to do. I love the idea of this series!
The challenge reminds us to slow down and enjoy your family. Would love to join.
I would be embracing this challenge anyway, but the chance to win a new iPad mini is wonderful! I love gadgets! Thank you!
So excited to do this Challenge again…..can’t wait to get your book. I ordered five of them…. I was going to give away as gifts but am thinking about finding four other women and doing a study together since I heard the study guide was one of the ebook give aways. This would definitely be out of my comfort zone……but I long to have close Christian women friends. I have too been encouraged by Janelle from Comfy in the Kitchen to open up my home:)
I would like to join the challenge
Sharing on my Blog, Facebook and Twitter!
Links to all can be found by going to my blog first. http://www.aheartformyhome.blogspot.com
Sounds like a great way to welcome the coming season! Ready to get started!
I am so excited about joining in this challenge. I am always seeking ways to have more calm and peace in my life and hence in my house.
I would love to join in your fall challenge!
Looking forward to the challenge!!! (And I must say, it is definitely going to be a challenge for me this year… I’m due with baby #2 on October 1st 🙂 )
I’m so very excited about this challenge! I truly need this and am looking so forward to the application!! Thank you Courtney!
Looking forward to this challenge!
I love the candle idea. I just have to burn it while Danny is at work. He is bother by strong scents. Maybe I should say what he considers strong. As long as it isn’t burning in the room where he is, I can do it. LOve candles.
Peggy – We have the same problem at our home. I have found that scentless candles or the LED no-flame flickering candles work great. Create a relaxing mood, but with no annoying overpowering scents. Hope this works for you.
I love this time of year! And I love your fall challenge each year! I’ve had my candle going ever since the first fall challenge!
I’m joining in the challenge and sharing the giveaway/fall challenge on my blog’s FB page!
Courtney,
I am super excited about the release of your new book. My husband said he would get it for me since it was the only thing I really wanted for Christmas this year, so hopefully I get it earlier! This will be the first year I will participate in the “making your home a haven” challenge but I can’t wait. Things get pretty hectic around here sometimes but I am a strong believer that we as wives and mothers set the mood and tone of our homes everyday! I love the candle idea! Thank you for everything you do to serve The Lord, I love following your posts, and your smile is just infectious!!
I am definitely joining! I always love your ‘Making your home a haven challenge! Can’t wait to get started!!
Sounds Like A Fun challenge. I’m UP Fo It!! I Am Hooked On YoUr Blog!
Love this Fall challenge. I don’t light a candle as my 90 year old mother in law lives with us and she frets that the open flame will burn our house down..lol so I use a Scentsy warmer instead. Still get a soft glow, a nice scent and it’s MUCH safer 😉
Gonna figure out how to use the image and link it back to your blog from mine as I’m new to the blogging world! Tee hee! As a member of the book launch team, I’ll be giving away a copy of Courtney’s book so please stop by !!

The pray of my heart is that my home will be a place where love abounds, a place of peace….a sanctuary…..Lord let your light shine in my heart and in my home…..
Beth , your message is awesome , may God Bless you and He knows your hearts desires

I would love to join your challenge, but Mondays are not a good day for me to do it, as my husband works night shift (and I keep to his schedule) and Mondays are his first day off. We sleep the entire day, usually. Would it be okay for me to try these a different day (one that works better with our schedule)?
Thank you for these challenges! I’m looking forward to participating! May the Lord bless you for this ministry that you have to so many women!
I’m in!
Count me in!

You inspire me so much! I want my home to reflect Christ and as I read your book I realized how much of an influence that God wants me to be in my family for Him. I ordered a hard copy of your book and it should come soon!!! I can’t thank you enough for all you do! You introduced me to Good Morning Girls which really transformed my spiritual life and walk with God. Thanks for all you do, Courtney!
I would love to join the Fall challenge!!!!!
I would like to join the challenge please. I am a group leader of a GMG bible study group. I have really enjoyed it as I have been “leading” our little group for over a year now. I would now like to “branch out” and learn even more from your various groups.
If you don’t mind I need you all to pray for me. I am a former public school teacher of special needs chidlren. I resigned this job in 2008 to care for my husband who is currently houmebound with severe osteoarthritis. During this time we also adopted 4 wonderful children which gave us a total of 5 and made our home complete. When I resigned my teaching job I also began to homeschool our children. It has been such a blessing, and I thank the Lord for this opportunity. For the past few months, however I think running the household on my own has started to take a toll on my nerves. I panic when I have to leave home and that includes even going to church! I feel like if I get out in public people will talk about how horrible my clothes are, how fat I am, how poor my kids look, etc etc. I know that these thoughts are very extreme, but when I get dressed to go out I literally (sometimes) become crippled as though my muscles are wet noodles. I get so nervous that I just give up and stay home…which means..so do my children. Lord help me…please you all help me to pray that I will find a renewed and refreshed attitude. Love you all. Cindy
Hi, Cindy,
May God’s peace that passes all understanding grip your heart to crowd out your fears and anxiety. Lord, renew and refresh Cindy’s attitude, bringing her peace as Your daughter to face the world with confidence. I pray that you would give her the opportunity for rest and relaxation as you renew her heart and life.
I would like to join the challenge!
I have an October birthday and I LOVE fall! This challenge sounds great! Please count me in. 🙂 I am a brand new homeschool mom to two little boys, and a step momma to two more boys! I am the only woman in a family of five guys (including my husband). You have been a great example to me as a mom, wife, homeschooler and Christian! Blessed to have found your blog.. Thanks for all your encouragement!! 🙂
I would love to join this challenge.
Oh how exciting! I am definitely in need of really being intentional about my home and making it a haven. What a great challenge! I want to be a part of it!

Rachel
So excited to join this falls challenge!! Thank you so much for your encouraging blog!!!
I’m going to try and do your challenge. My family is going thru a difficultly that has come to the surface recently and we want to fix it rather than leave it broken. The title of your book screamed to me “that is what I need” because right now, I don’t have it. A mini-ipad to stay connected to my family, would be very beneficial!
Would definitely love to join the challenge!
Joining the challenge cause it’s do-able! Thank you.
I look forward to this challenge every year! Glad it’s starting soon, my home is in need of refreshing in all aspects!!! Off to buy my candle within the next few days to be ready!!! Thank you!!
Hi from Bulgaria! I’m going to try the challange too, it’s so awesome:) Thanks for all this! It’s realy amazing how important is the support from the sisters in faith… Even if separeted by thousands miles!:)
Hi Courtney!
I’ve been following your blog for a while now and am enjoying all the encouragement you give us in our walk with the King. Comparing to marriage challenges where I could join just by reading and hoping to remember those things at the time I will be married; this Fall challenge is the one I can join. I am seeing this challenge as a perfect way how to start to make my home a haven before having family and I guess I’ll bake some goodies and then invite some friends over for a game night. My candle is already going and it feels a little less stressful and more cozy already.
Thank you, Courtney, for showing us that there exist homes that are like haven in the midst of daily rush! 🙂
This is exactly what my husband and I need right now. We have our calendars filled through November and it has made us very anxious. I am looking forward to participating in your challenge to help slow things down and keep our focus on God. Thanks Courtney!
Dear Courtney,
I will join this fall challenge, it is the second time that I do this. The candle is already burning. This weekend I tried to buy your book but since I live in The Netherlands (Europe) I can only by this book with a creditcard (Visa etc.) which I do not have. So I am hoping that your book will be available also here in The Netherlands, and maybe translated? However, reading English is oke with me. I wish you a very nice day tomorrow as your book relaeses (is that Englisch ;)) and I really hope that in some way I can buy your book too. Thank you for all that you do, Yvonne
Dear Courtney,
I am joining the challenge together with all of those lovely ladies around the globe!
My favorite is also ligting a candle (apple-cinnamon scented).
And as you probably already know: can’t wait to receive the book. I HOPE and PRAY it will arrive this week !!!!!
You are truely an amazing, awesome woman ! A true Daughter of the King.
Blessings X
Abby
Hallo Yvonne,
ik hoop dat je alsnog een kopie van het boek kan bemachtigen. Maar de Nederlandse versie zal nog wel even op zich laten wachten, neen ?
Veel succes met de challenge.
Hallo Abby, wat goed; een nederlands sprekende! Leuk hoor! Heb jij wel het boek gekocht? Ik denk idd dat de Nederlandse versie nog wat gaat duren….Ik ga eens kijken op welke manier ik het toch kan kopen. Waar woon je in Belgie? Groetjes, Yvonne
Ps: appel/kaneel is ook mijn favoriete geur;)
Hoi Yvonne, ik heb het boek besteld. Dus nog niet betaald. Mijn kranten/boekhandel doet dit via Proxis Azur, gezien het feit dat ik niet online betaal. Zo koop ik al mijn Amerikaanse Christelijke boeken. Dichtbij Brussel.
Groetjes terug.
Excited to start your challenge for the first time! This time of year I usually have a candle lit in the kitchen, I love the idea of praying for peace for my family and home when I walk by. Thank you for sharing your ideas and God given gifts! I just shared your challenge on FB
Love this Challenge been doing it since the first year so excited to join you again this year and am so excited to get my hands on the actual book had the privilege of being apart of the launch team so have read on PDF and now want actual book great read and ministered to my soul 🙂
Love and Blessings Courtney !!
Yay!! Sound like fun 🙂
I am looking forward to joining your challenge. You were right about September being very busy and it was overwhelming for me and my family. I am looking forward to your weekly challenges and working on making my home more peaceful, relaxing and a place that everyone looks forward to ending their day. Thank you!
I love Yankee candles!! I just bought a new Home Sweet Home candle. I am lighting it thus morning while I do my GMG bibke study!
I am joining the challenge! Can’t wait to get started. The peace is a needed change in my home right now 🙂
I really enjoyed last year’s Fall Challenge and I’m looking forward to this year’s challenge, too! I’m going to encourage all the ladies I know to take part in it, too. I know my husband and son could tell a difference last year! Maybe I’ll be able to keep it going for much longer this time! Thank you for taking the time to share these ideas with us! Blessings to you….
I would love to join the challenge!
Courtney…thank you so much for this challenge! I am joining!
I would love to join!

I would love to join the challenge (and try for the prizes, as well! :)). Thank you for your ministry, sharing your life with us, and pointing us to Jesus! Blessings…
Your blog has been such a blessing. Praying for even more woman to be blessed through your book and for your family to be blessed also
I am sooo joining too! thanks so much for putting this together. I am new to your site/blog, so I guess I joined at a perfect time. I wish all challenges in life were filled with so many pleasurable activities 🙂
This sounds like such a wonderful blessing and a challenge I want to embrace. I love the crisp change of season and what it ushers in with the colors and the aromas. We are fighting a huge spiritual battle with our home and those wonderful “fall experiences” are lost in the battle. This is perfect timing. Thank you for blessing us so abundantly.
Karen G.

I’m getting my candle ready and excited about making my home a haven! I’m probably older than most of you–I have a beautiful new great-grandbaby. My family comes around nearly every Sunday so I hope to still have a peaceful place they can come home to.
I am excited to join the challenge! Thanks so much!
Hi Courtney! Challenge accepted! And thanks for your cheerful, positive spirit. I appreciate it!

I am so in on this challenge! Definitely want my home to feel more like a haven!
Thank you for doing this challenge again this year! It is just what I need to take a deep breath and be intentional about cultivating an atmosphere of peace and welcome in my home.
My 8 year daughter asked me last Thursday if I was going to d o that “thing” again this year. She enjoyed it as did I. Glad to be starting again.
I would like to enter the giveaway! I will also like it on FB. Now what do I do next?
Love this idea of creating a haven! Thank you for this challenge.
Enter me in the challenge, please! 🙂

I found your website from a pin on Pinterest. I am so excited to start the challenge. My family is entering a new phase in life and I love the idea of the candle reminding me to pray for them – and for the peace in our home.
Hi Courtney! I’ve been a follower for…well, at least a year, because I participated in last year’s fall challenge! The candle (and music) were SO calming and just what I needed. Looking forward to joining this year’s challenge. Congratulations on the book!
I’d love to be a part of this challenge and giveaway!
I am excited about joining this challenge. I have followed your blog for a long time, but never felt the need or desire to do the challenge. This year, I am looking forward to it. Thanks for all you do.
Good Morning
Looking forward to start the challenge

Courtney,
I did the challenge last year and I’m looking forward to doing it this year.
Thanks for all your encouragement.

Yes!!!! I want to join! Thank you!!
Needed this challenge! It is so refreshing to be encouraged! Thank you! :0)
We are closing on our first home today. I would like to join the challenge and start home-ownership off on the right foot — praying for peace is a great place to start!
I enjoy a good challenge!
I like being apart of something bigger than myself.
And I love when it positively impacts my family. I’m in.
I want to join your challenge. This is my first year with your blog and I have enjoyed reading your blessings. I just turned 70 and have been so blessed.

I’m super excited for this! Falling in love with your ideas and insight more each day! (very new member!)
Ready to start this challenge!
Courtney, My sister-in-law just introduced me to your website this summer and I am so glad she did. I have been doing the Proverbs 31 study and feel so refreshed and ready for each day. I am excited about this new challenge that you have given and I am looking forward to being a part of it!
I would love to join the challenge! Thank you for always inspiring us!
I’m looking forward to joining the Fall Challenge! I long to make my home a sanctuary and not just the place where we drop at the end of our busy days. Thank you for these wonderful reminders about what home should be.
I’m in! I did this challenge last year and really enjoyed blessing my family by it! Going to get my candle today!
I would LOVE to join the challenge 🙂
I’m looking forward to this challenge. Your facebook messages have held much encouragement for me over the past 6 months. I am looking forward to seeing the changes God can bring to my family and home during this challenge.
Great idea! I love how fall bring automatic cozyness to the home but these are great ideas to make it better. 🙂
I’m very excited about joining this challenge. I really need some spiritual and home comfort. My grand mother passed away last week. She was very special to me and life’s just not quite the same without her. I think this challenge will give me the comfort and strength I need right now and bless my family in the process.
I would love to join the challenge. My prayer has been to create an peaceful home. This is no coincidence
Joining the challenge!! Super excited. Thank you so much for putting yourself out there and being a Godly example for women of all ages.
I’m in! Looking forward to the challenge. Sounds like a great way to help keep my home focused on what is important.
This is my first year with this challenge. I am very excited to do it!!!
I can’t wait to start this…I am currently in the midst of trying to simplify my life and get out the clutter in my house so that the clutter in my mind is less as well, if that makes any sense. Super excited to do the challenge!

I’m excited to join this challenge! Right now I am using a wax warmer with a pumpkin scent. I love the idea to pray for peace in my home. I will do this each time I reenter the room and smell the scent. Thank you for the challenge. I look forward to how God will use this in my heart and home.

I just discovered this website and it was excitedly what I needed. I always wanted to be a stay at home mom and we were blessed this year for me to quick my job. My Husband and I always saw were bringing the 50’s back!
I am excited to join your challenge and to explore you website:)
This is such a great way to welcome fall! Thanks! Looking forward to the fun challenges each week that encourages warmth, love, fun and family nurturing! 🙂
I’m in! I thoroughly believe that I need to be intentional to make positive changes daily. And I think we’ll all be winners if we participate in these simple activities! 🙂
I am so happy this is going on I love knowing that so many women are going to do the same thing I am. We all need peace. I am so in.
I am up for the challenge. Like many women-I am also not on FB or Twitter! Just no extra time:-) Thanks so much for your ministry-I really appreciate all the encouragement you give us moms each week. Can’t wait to hear all your great ideas 🙂 Glad to glorify the Lord with everyone else here.
I love this! And would love to join in on the challenge!
I am so excited that this starts this week! I spent the weekend at a women’s conference that I had been looking forward to all year. Sadly, many of the speakers used their platform to insult women who choose to stay home. It was repeatedly emphasized that in order to be doing “ministry”, we have to be serving outside of our home for a significant amount of time. Not once were our husbands, our children or our homes considered a valuable ministry. I am looking forward to spending some time reading from women who share my passions. Even better….the book comes out this week! God’s timing rocks!!!!
Looks like a great challenge! Late October is for setting out the Thanksgiving decorations. I don’t start decorating for Christmas until after Thanksgiving.
I am really looking forward to this challenge! Over this past summer our family has lost some of its peace, I’ve noticed us all drift away from our normal prayer life, and devotion time. I am thankful for your encouragement and can’t wait to start 🙂
I am joining the challenge! Thanks 🙂
i’m a first times at this challenge and i’ve only been married for 3 weeks, but loved it! count me in 🙂
Looking forward to this! Our months are getting busy too, really needed this encouragement!
Love this challenge! Definitely joining!
Courtney,
I enjoy your blog so much. I have my copy of your book ordered and am looking forward to reading it. I definitely want to take part in the Fall Challenge. Thank you so much for your ministry to women. It is so helpful.
I would love to join this challenge!
I would love to join this challenge! And I can’t wait to read your book 🙂
Thanks for doing this challenge again this year! I am going to light my candle today to begin…..
Congrats on the launch of your book! Can’t wait to read it!
I would love to join the challenge! I am new to your blog. I just moved into a new house and just quit my job to be a full time wife and mom! Talk about perfect timing to start this challenge. It has been heavy on my heart and God has been showing me the need to create the most peaceful environment I can and to truly make my house a home. Thank you!!
Joining the challenge and will follow along on your blog and Facebook!
Hi Courtney!
I’m definitely joining this challenge! This is my first time doing a challenge and am so looking forward to it!
I would like to join the challenge!
Hi, Courtney! I am excited to join your challenge! This will be my first fall challenge. I did your advent challenge last year and so enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for the encouragement you offer to those of us who seek to serve God, our husbands, and our children. Although we’ve never met, I feel as though you are my accountability partner. I’ve learned so much from you and appreciate everything you do!
I can’t wait to dive into your book tomorrow! Praying God will continue to pour into you as you so willingly pour into others. 🙂
It is good for us to focus on the ‘beauty’ of a well-ordered, and lovely home for ourselves, and our families. It is the sanctuary for them away from the chaos of the world outside our doors. Thanks for reminding us to be active in that pursuit….as well as, persuing our own inner beauty by depending daily on the One who is ‘Altogether Lovely’….
I added your “button” to my blog! 🙂
Does the first week start tomorrow and go through the 7th or does it start on the 7th?
Next week is the first official week of doing the challenges – but to prepare this week…clear out a cluttered area of your house – and clear out your spiritual clutter – go to the Great I AM and spend time in his word. 🙂
Courtney
I would love to join this challenge!
Super excited and I am looking forward to the challenge. I have been following your blog and truly enjoy your inspiration!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Blessings to you and your family during the upcoming holidays!

so excited…myself and my whole family was blessed by last years….can’t wait for this:)…thank you and blessings to you and yours
I would love to be a part of the challenge. I retired 3 months ago and still have lots of stuff to clean out.
Always love this challenge 🙂 I started following your blog when a friend shared this challenge a few years ago.
I love the candle challenge!
I will include your post in my post this morning, glad I have read your post before blogging this morning, lol
It is finally getting a little cooler in Oklahoma, so I started slowly decorating for fall! I love love love fall colors!
Finding Hope
Sandra
So excited to get the book tomorrow.
I’m in!!!
I would love to join this challenge! Thank you! 🙂
I would love to be part of the challenge! I need to make my home a haven! With an autistic child, that will be a challenge in itself..but I am ready!
Woohoo, I’m in!!!!
I can’t wait to get started on this! I already have just the perfect candle! 😀
Courtney,
I purchased the book ordered through Amazon – do I still qualify for the ebook bundle? I e-mailed the womenlivingwell@gmail address and haven’t gotten a response yet.
I can forward my confirmation if needed.
Thanks!
Joining the Challenge!!!
I’m ordering your book and so looking forward to the challenge!! Count me in!!!
Every year when the Fall Challenge comes around, I say to myself that I should jump on board..but I never do. Well this year I am breaking that cycle, and I am saying out loud that, “I am on board for the challenge!” Whoo-hoo! Praying that being very intentional about making my home a place of peace and rest will be much more effective than just thinking about how it needs to be! Thanks Courtney!
Looking forward to vein challenges to invite Jesus into my home!!
Hello Courtney
I love your site, ordered your book and I am excited to joint the challenge.
Thank You
S
I’m in!! Can’t wait to get started!
I would love to join the challenge. (:
I would like to enter your challange!!
Courtney, I am not on Facebook or Twitter so these comments will have to suffice for my participation in the challenge. We must have been on the same thought waves because this weekend I cleared out one closet, reorganized the bookcase, and cleaned out the bathroom cabinets. Woo hoo! Also pulled out the autumn candles and am good to go for a candle each day. Love this Fall Challenge!!!
I found this challenge, half way through, last year. I’m so happy I can be a part of it from the beginning this year. The past year has thrown us some challenges but when I use a candle in the kitchen, it keeps me focused, reminds me on the rough days to keep praying. Thank you for the idea!! Thank you for providing this challenge & all the great giveaways too!
Hi Courtney!
I really enjoy all of your wisdom and encouragement. I also LOVE fall! What a fun challenge…I’m ready! 🙂
I don’t burn candles typically because of my children, but I’ve got my Scentsy warmer going! 🙂
Thank you so much for this challenge. It comes at a perfect time; God’s timing is always perfect isn’t it. I know it will make a difference in me and the difference will flow into our home. Thank you for your encouragement.
I am joining your challenge. Thanks for all the inspiring ideas so far.
Love the idea of this challenge! Lighting my candle in the kitchen this morning as I decorate mini-pumpkins.
This sounds great! Now to find a candle…
With a 21 year old son who is a full time college student and a 17 (almost 18) year old son who is a senior in HS still living at home I know my time is growing very short to spend time together every day as a family. I am super excited about this challenge to make our home a haven for my guys and especially my husband. We have moved so far from the younger days of spending time reading books together and playing games. If I knew then what I know now I would have spent even more time doing fun and crazy things with by family as the boys were growing. So…count me in!!
Hi Courtney! I am new to your website and blog and have asked my married daughter to participate in the Fall Challenge with me. This will be wonderful for me to focus on because I work at home doing legal transcription. But more than that, I have had four special people in my life recently diagnosed with various types of cancer. I feel like it is just all around me so my “concern level” is through the roof! Thank you for creating this challenge for all of us.
I would like to join the challenge.
God has placed this on my heart recently…about the tone or mood that I set in my home. It’s amazing how much influence we have over our home and our families. I am starting this challenge too! Thank you for your encouragement and your sweet spirit!
Love the idea of this challenge. I can’t wait to see where it takes me this month.
Going to try the challenge again this year. I signed up last year, but didn’t make it past the week with the candle! 🙂
I love the challenge and can’t wait to start!
I would love to join the challenge 🙂 Thanks for all of your daily encouragement and reminders to focus on Christ. Love to you!
Good morning,
I am a new follower of a few months. This challenge is exactly what I need in my life right now! I am not a blogger but I love reading yours and others blogs. Thanks for the amazing challenge!
God Bless
I am joining this challenge. As a pastor’s wife, life can be busy & hectic, so it’s just as important to make sure our home is definitely a haven. While I tend to find a blessing in each season, Fall seems to be my favorite. I’m looking forward to seeing how God will continue to bless!
Yesterday was easier than today – for both me & my candle. There were some significant personal challenges prevalent this morning as well as physical pain today – altho prayed throughout the day, it just was more difficult than yesterday. Plus, every time I saw, my candle was out – the wick had fallen or the wax pool snuffed it out – :/ However, I’ve been praying!
I am joining the Make your home a haven challenge. I’m not a blogger, so I will be following your posts.
First challenge ever! I’m in!!
I would love to join this Challenge as well!
I would love to join the challenge. Love your ideas !
I am looking forward to this challenge! With a one and a three year old and a full time job, my life feels so stressful and chaotic. Can’t wait to learn ways to slow down and just enjoy my home. Thank you!
Hola!
I recently came across Good Morning Girls and have started on the latest online bible study. While going through GMG’s facebook, I noticed Women Living Well’s page and made note of the upcoming webcasts. I love to read so I purchased your book, received it last Friday and fully enjoying it!
I would love to accept the challenge! I’ve been on and off about my walk with God so I’m hoping that these first steps will help me. Plus, I’m a newlywed so I could use all the guidance as I can receive 🙂
Gracias!
I ♥ this idea! Would like to join the challenge! Thanks!
Looking forward to another great challange!!!
I’d love to join the challenge. Count me in!
Sounds like a month with purpose!! Love this idea. Sign me up for the challenge.
I’m definitely going to have to try these. We move into our new home this weekend!
I would like to join the challenge!
I am planning to join your challenge this year. Our slowly becoming a haven but this will give it a focus and a plan.
I love this challenge. I followed your challenges last year and it serves as a great reminder to slow down and enjoy the family that the Lord has blessed us with.
I am so excited to read your book! I placed my order last week! I never did get the link for the other books but I am still excited to read your book. Keep doing what you do Courtney! The Lord is using you in a great way to touch thousands. You are a blessing in my life!
Looking forward to this challenge! Hoping I can stay strong through the whole month! Also, I’m really looking forward to reading your book, Courtney!
What an exciting challenge! Looking forward to it everyday!
I am joining the challenge! And looking forward to it!
Joining the challenge, on my way to get a candle!!
I would love to be part of the challenge. You’re blog is an inspiration to me daily. Thank you!!
I love this challenge, last time I kept my candle going long after the challenge was over, What a great reminder, Thanks.
I would Love to join your fall challenge! Great idea!!
Thanks for the fun challenge. I’m looking forward to it. 🙂
I have participated in year’s past, but I am especially looking forward to this challenge this year. Having just moved one month ago, our house still doesn’t feel like our ‘home’ and consequently, I’m not yet sure just how to make it a true, physical haven. Also, I personally feel like I need this reminder to be praying regularly, and working on my attitude right now. So, in short, count me in! 🙂
Hi Courtney! I’m so excited about this! I don’t have a blog, but I have a facebook page! Can I enter into the challenge too? WhooHoo!
Hi Courtney! I would love to participate in this challenge. I so agree that with the start of the school year that things just felt hectic and hurried. I look forward to doing this with.

I would love to join the challenge. I have my candle going now =) I always do anyway. I love the idea of saying a prayer for the family when it catches my eye! So excited!!!
I’ve just found your blog! I’m looking forward to this challenge! Thanks
Hi Courtney! I’d love to participate in the Fall Challenge! I’m new to your blog so I’m still learning how to follow along & participate. I really enjoyed the conference last week. Thanks for posting it on Friday – I couldn’t make it Thursday evening. A few items in this challenge might be a little difficult for me.
We’re in the middle of a kitchen remodel and I can’t wait to get back to baking bread & cookies, etc. just don’t know exactly when I’ll have my oven back! Wish me luck! Sue
This sounds great and DOable! Thank you.
I would love to join!!
I love this challenge, I definitely want to be part of this!
Thank you, Courtney – for being the vehicle for God’s perfect timing! I soooo need this, as September has had me rattled from day one, and full of anxiety! This challenge is just what I need to slow down, take a breath, and remember that I set the tone in my home. Sign me up, sister – I am all in! Have a blessed day!
I really enjoy the Fall Challenge! I kept up with it last year, and I really had fun with it! Something so simple as lighting a candle in the home can create such a sweet ambiance, and we all love the scent! Hooray for Fall!

Thank you – I love this slow down challenge!!
Going to light my candle now! I love this series and especially last year it was so encouraging to me as I had just had a baby and believe me those little things sure helped brighten the days when I felt overwhelmed!
Sounds great! I am in!
I’d like to join the challenge, too. Great idea 🙂
I’ll join the challenge.

I’m so happy I found your website.
I would love to join in the challenge!

I was so excited when I seen it was time again for the “Make Your Home a Haven” challenge! I will definitely be joining in!
(since doing this challenge last year, I have really enjoyed lighting candles throughout the home)
Hi Courtney! I’m relatively new to your blog and I don’t even remember how I stumbled across it but it has been such an inspiration! I am not new to being married but am only beginning to learn what God really wants a marriage to be so your words are a breath of fresh air in a world that tells me it’s not normal to put my husband and family before myself. I am excited about joining your challenge and look forward to seeing the changes in my home! God bless you!
I am so happy, not only for the awesome giveaways/prizes but for you and the release of your book that will help countless women. and just for the support & motivation, we moms should do these things anyway but we let life get in the way sometimes, and these reminders help more than you know. Thank You.
I’m in!!!
Great time of year for this type of challenge. I’m on board!
Looking forward to it!
Count me in. I can’t wait to start.
I would LOVE to join the challenge!!

God bless!
Emese from Jersey
I am up for the challenge! This will be my first time, but I love the idea! I also love the opportunity to win the ipad mini! October is a big month for my husband and I. We met and married in October and his birthday is in October. I would love to give him one as a gift!
I’m in. I’ll be using scentsy instead of a candle though, because I have two cats and a toddler!
I’m looking forward to this challenge. Thank you for all that you do.
I am looking forward to joining this challenge again! Thanks for offering it!
I am new to all this — but I would love to join your challenge! My home certainly needs to turn into more of a haven…..
Its my second year joining! Thanks Courtney
I would love to join in your challenge. Thank you for all you do:-)
Great challenge; it sounds fun and uplifting. Count me in!!
I’ll be joining your challenge! Can’t wait to read your book as well!!
I would love to join the challenge!
I would like to join the challenge!
Fall time is always exciting. Family , fun and candles.
I love the challenge and I am really excited for your book!!!
Hi Courtney,
This couldn’t have come at a better time. My September has gone a bit like yours:) I look forward to spending the month of October meeting your challenges…candle already lit and prayed over.
I posted your challenge on my blog. I just hope I did it correctly.
I’m in and I am trying to get my FB group from your Valentine’s Marriage Challenge to join me 🙂
Count me in. Last year was my first year doing this challenge and I loved it!
Not a blogger, but looking forward to the challenge! Candle will be lit!!!
Just the challenge I need right now!! I am in!!
ooh, need some help here!
I would like to join the challenge again this year!!!
Deep breath! First, I bought your book and cannot wait to have it in my hands to begin reading. Second, I opened up my email this morning and began to read your fall challenge and proceeded to weep. The words in your email and video were clear to me that God wanted me to hear this. After an argument with my husband this morning and then this, I realize that I am overly tired and really need a change. I am going to faithfully take this challenge and prayerfully seek Him throughout. Though I do not follow you daily, I do love your words and wisdom you provide. You have an impact on my life and I am thankful that I stumbled across your blog! Keep on walking with the king and influencing others to do the same! Much much love to you and your calling! 🙂
Please count me in on the challenge!
Excited to join this challenge! This will be my first time! Thank you for offering this! I love to read and retread your posts! Excited for the book too.
I am joining the fall challenge! I love it already! Although I love summer because of the heat, Fall is my favorite time of the year to decorate! I love the smells, colors and feel of it. I am blown away every day at the beauty that God has created for us. I struggle a bit with negative self-talk, getting too defensive because I feel not good enough all the time and I have been working on this. Although I can’t afford to buy the book, I am loving getting your emails and you are helping me daily! Thanks for all you do!
I would love to be a part of the challenge!
Would like to join, my family could use some changes! Thank you!
I would love to be a part of the challenge! Count me in
Please count me in for this amazing challenge!!!!!!!!!
I would love to join!
I would love to take part in the challenge. Can’t wait to read your new book. Thanks,
Carol
I have my “Fig” candle burning brightly right now! A different scent from last fall’s challenge. Thank you so much…and many thanks to your publisher for all the fun give-aways!

Blessings,

Very excited to follow your tips to bring peace and harmony into my family. Much needed in today’s environment. Can’t wait to get your book!
I am looking forward to this challenge!
I would love to join the challenge! Can’t wait to read the book.
Courtney,
After how my day went yesterday, and how badly my attitude effected my husband during what was supposed to be a ‘fun’ day, I see I need this challenge badly. I have been privileged to be apart of your launch team. I have learned a ton while reading and blogging through the different topics in your book. I really do struggle with my attitude, life is stressful. So thank you.
Love joining this amazing challenge!
I’m joining in for the Fall Challenge. I just had B&N put your book on hold for me and am excited about reading it! Woohooo for fall. In Texas, we actually had a cold snap and got down in the 70s.
I want to join the challenge!
I love this series! Candle is ready and smells delightful 🙂
What a great challenge! Can’t wait to get started!
I would love to do this challenge and I don’t have a blog but I use Facebook!!!
Excited for this challenge!
Added your pic/link to my sidebar. 🙂 Thank you!
Joining the challenge. Just got a twitter account so I can earn those other entries in the drawings also. But really looking forward to following the challenge.
Excited to join!!
I can’t wait for the book and this challenge! So excited!
May God bless you this week as you celebrate and fully enjoy all the hard work you have put into your book. I am joining the weekly challenge and am excited to do it again this year!
I’d like to be part of the challenge
I’m in! Love this challenge and our family will definitely benefit from this mama slowing down! Thanks, Courtney!
No matter what age we are you inspire women to achieve higher.
Looking forward to getting ready for fall with you, Courtney. I have shared your link on my own blog too at http://www.tuning-my-heart.com.
Ordering Book Now Would Love To Be A Part Of Your Fall
Challenge
I’m so excited to do this challenge! We are a foster family and it seems as tho we are always busy. I’m sure that has a lot to do with having a 14 & 11 yr old also. We just don’t have a lot of down time so these challenges, I believe, will bring some peace back in to the business. Thank you do much for your heart for women!!
So happy to have found your website! Looking forward to the fall challenge and also looking forward to reading your book!
This was such a blessing to hear about! I’m an army wife and homeschooling mom of 5. I’ve really been feeling a lack of peace in my home. I thrilled to follow along and thank you for ministering to our hearts!
Excited about starting this challenge! It is a great way to add to the Living and Active Challenge I am doing with Peak313. I love fall but in Louisiana we do not get much of it. My house is covered in fall decor and I will be lighting my pumpkin candle to start off the week! Thanks for organizing this and reminding us just how important we are in our home.
My pumpkin candle is already going! Loving this challenge already!
I can’t wait to start this challenge!!! This will be my first time doing it 🙂 I also pre-ordered your book today
I’m in! Challenge away!! 🙂
This is my very first time doing one of your challenges and I am super excited to see what the Lord has in store for me and my husband through this!!
I LOVE that you are doing this again! I found your blog about this time last year and did the challenge. My kids still talk about peace in our house when I light a big candle. 🙂 It is such a blessing to be on your launch team for your new book! You are a wonderful light in this world!!
Blessings to You!
ok Courtney I am ready for a haven. Since public school has began my kids fight. Fight to get up, fight on who is wearing what. fight about who going to sit next to Noah (my youngest). It seems there is all this tension and it’s making me manic and depressed. So I lite my new Apples and Cinnamon candle and I said a quick prayer flare for God to make this a peaceful home. I am ready like yesterday ready…..
I am going to Join your challenge this year!! Thanks for the extra special encouragement that you give to ladies all over the world may your family be blessed for it:
Shelly-Ann

I’m going to join the challenge for the first time! Looking forward to it.
I’m in! Lit my candle in my kitchen window. 🙂
I love this idea for Fall! I agree-with your comments on stress and how it infects the environment. Yes, infects. I have been working on changing the atmosphere for months and it has been working!
Definitely joining in!
Looking forward to receiving your awesome new book from amazon.com!
Love,
Maria 🙂
I’d love to join! I’m a busy mom so I’ll be following as well as I can:)
I love this………… it is what I have been doing for a long time now. I love that you have challenges for your readers and the spiritual attitude in which it is done. I will be sharing this with the ladies of my church! Thanks!!!
Hi, Courtney! Thanks for this timely reminder. Perfect timing for me as September was beyond craziness in all of our 23 years of marriage. Our children are teen and young adults, and things keep speeding up instead of slowing down. I did light the candles already today (so I felt good about that:)); now remembering to pray for peace (above human understanding) is a beautiful sentiment! Thanks for this challenge, Courtney. God bless!
I’m in!!
I’m In! We are moving this week to a new home and what a perfect time to start over!
Would love to join!
I am so looking forward to taking part in this challenge. I have already lit a candle and I love your idea about praying for peace each time you look at the lit candle. Thank you for this challenge.
I just stumbled across this on my fb news feed, I love it! I’m in!
Hi Courtney!!! I am so excited to start this challenge. I have 3 boys all involved in sports, I work part time and my husband of course full time. We need to slooooow down!! This is a must do for us!! Thanks so much for all your inspiration! Love u girl!
Would love to make my home a haven! Lighting my candle today!
I’m so excited to start this ! I often find myself frazzled & I see my kids being frazzled quickly too. I know they are learning from me, so I need to create more peace in my home for them & myself! Thanks
I just ordered your book last night. I’m ready to join the challenge. I’m ready to make changes in myself to better my home.
I am joining in on the Fall Challenge . Praying for Peace in our Home.
I just ordered your book. Can’t wait to get it. I’m joining this challenge and super excited about it.
Would love to be part of the challenge! Love to think of my home as a “haven” for my sweet family. : )
HI Courtney! I love this idea and I am excited to do this challenge and see my family grow together, slow down and enjoy each other. We just had our second baby and do not live near any family so things can get busy around here! Thank you for your encouragement!
Thanks for doing this every year Courtney! I love lighting my candle but I love the reminder to pray for peace in my home every time I see it even more! Thanks for your inspiration 🙂
I’m super excited about joining this challenge!
I’m in!
What a wonderful challeng. My candle is lit and and I’m joing the challenge!
I’m so excited for this challenge! Count me in! I’m ready to make my home a haven!
I would LOVE to join this challenge – thank you!
I am so excited to start this challenge! I totally related to your description of the craziness in your house at the start of the school year! In my home, my husband and I both work full-time; I’m a teacher which means back to school for me too. We have four children and they are involved with many activities (dance, football, cheerleading and guitar to name a few). I am easily overwhelmed by the things that pile up. Thank you for your encouragement 🙂
I’d like to join the challenge. Thanks for the great ideas!
Excited to join this challenge!!
I’d like to join the challenge.
I want to do the challenge!
Joining the challenge!!
I’m in! I love this challenge.
HI! I’m a newbie here and I love your site. You really help me (a SAHW and Mom of 3) to keep things in perspective. Thanks for that. I would love to join your challenge. Also I would like to know what you would suggest using instead of a candle. I get a headache from anything artificial that smells due to heat (like candles and the smelly things you plug into an outlet, etc..).
I really enjoy following you on facebook and am so excited to join this fall challenge! What a great idea! My desire has always been to create a loving, peaceful, and joyful home for my husband and kids but it is so difficult when the crazy busyness of life tries to takes over. I am looking forward to trying the small and practical ways you have suggested to bring a sense of peace and unity into my home. Thank you!
Just bought some candles today then got home and read this! My prayers lately have been to create a warm inviting atmosphere in my home! Can’t wait to read your book and start this challenge!
I am joining the challenge . Thanks!
I accept the challenge! love this idea. Thank you! God bless
I would love to join the challenge! Candles are my absolute favorite! They add so much to your home! I love to bake too so that one will be no problem at all for me! I can’t wait to read the book! <3
I would like to join the challenge too but I do not blog. Please keep me in the loop of how I can stay connected with these challenges. I’d also like to say that I am extremely excited for my book to come in and read the ebooks.
Thank you.
So excited about the challenges! count me in and thank you for the inspiration!
I love doing this challenge every year!
We are going to give the challenge a go! I did link back to your blog on my blog.
Thanks for the challenge.
Rhodena Buck

Taking the challenge!
I’m new to Women Living Well and can’t even begin to tell you how excited I was to open my email this morning and read about your fall challenge. I don’t have a blog but would still love to join in on this wonderful challenge. I just order your book today and am so excited for the adventures that lie ahead. I think what you’re doing in women’s lives is great. I hope to someday do the same. I look forward to sharing your book and the challenge with friends and my fellow sisters in Christ.
I’m looking forward to the encouragement! I have always tried to make our house a haven, but this will make it more purposeful, and I’ll know there are so many women with which I’m standing side by side!
Sounds like a wonderful way to be reminded to slow down and enjoy our family!
im in for the challenge!!

I am interested in this challenge as well. I first found WLW through Good Morning Girls’ Anything study this summer, and since then, I have been challenged by the idea of “anything,” sometimes wanting it to be something big. Recently, I have been challenged about protecting first my home and marriage, so this challenge is timely. Thank you for your book and your ministry!
I love this site and how it gets me through the day! I have been in need of rest and love the idea of this challenge ! Add me in!!!
This will be a great challenge for me!! I’m up for it!!
I would like to join the challenge! 🙂

This December we are expecting our first baby girl so we have alot going on! I’ll be right there with you the next 5 weeks 🙂 and by the way I’m so excited about your book being released! I loved it! I’m rereading it again lol. God bless you Courtney!

I love this challenge of making my home a haven! I’m so encouraged by all the women here on this blog who are joining this challenge. And, Courtney, I just found out about Women Living Well- amazing ministry! May God’s favor pour out here!! I’m in for the challenge this October!

I am so excited to join this challenge. Fall is my favorite time to decorate. You get to leave your fall decorations up for 2 months! I spent this last weekend filling my home with the decorations. My candles were burning and my daughter said “Mom, our house smells and looks so nice.” I felt my haven on the first day 🙂
I am very excited to be joining this challenge.
God bless!
Looking forward to this challenge Courtney! Fall is my favorite season and I enjoy heading out to Fall functions with my family. I spent the day pulling out my Fall decorations. Can’t wait to get it done Oct. 1st and start my “Warm Haven”!
Hi Courtney! I am a new follower! I lead a bible study group here in Charlotte, NC and we follow GMG! You are so incredibly encouraging and have touched my heart greatly!

I would love to join the challenge. I think it is such a powerful choice we need to make as wives and mothers. Excited about being a part of this for the first time. Are you looking for blog posts on the Monday of each week? Not exactly sure what I need to do to help promote it the best 🙂
I would like to join the Fall Challenge, thanks.
Hi Courtney,
I will be joining the fall challenge again this fall as I have for the past 2 years. Thank you so much for all you put into it. I love hearing from you and I love the zeal you have for God.
Blessings to you and your family,
I want to give it a go this month, too! Thanks for the inspiration. No blog, just me. 😉
I am joining you ladies for the challenge! I follow you on FB, and shared this on my wall. Some friends are going to do it, too. Thanks for making something so simple, a priority in the hustle and bustle if this busy life we lead.
Can’t wait to do this challenge again and read your new book! Already have it preordered. Thank you for blessing me and encouraging me with your faith and wisdom.
I would love to enter the challenge.
I love your blog and your challenges! I’m in!
Looking forward. Our September sounds a lot like yours – the start of school and the fall activities made for a crazy month. And the mood in our house could certainly be softened and calmed a bit. I’m looking forward to the slower pace of the coming season and this is the perfect transition. Thanks, Courtney, for all of your encouragement!
