FOR TODAY - November 17, 2008
Outside My Window... there is a blustery wind rustling through the orchard and development. It's going to be a chilly day.
I am thinking... it's amazing that the Lord loves me and puts up with me even when I seem to be stuck in a selfish and irritable mood. I need to spend more time in His Word today.
In the learning room... we will be relaxing a bit and trying to just get back into the "groove" of our routine. We've been struggling a bit too much with lack of preparation by me and lack of prope attitude by Noah.
I am thankful for... my husband and children who love me and constantly draw me closer to Jesus.
From the kitchen... my wonderful husband is making us omelets for breakfast. The children have already finished their breakfast and are playing while I finish up my morning preparations.
I am wearing... jeans with a long-sleeved nursing shirt.
I am creating... dresses for my girls. I've started cutting the pattern pieces and will finish one set this week. I've also got two custom orders that should be finalized this week.
I am going... to be home most of the week. I need to see if I can go to Costco and I have a dentist appointment on Friday.
I am reading... the Bible - Romans. I am also slowly working my way through an inductive study of Philippians.
I am hoping... that I can find better ways of accomplishing all that needs to be done this week. I constantly feel like I am failing and not doing all that God wants of me.
I am hearing... the Disney Channel! :: GASP :: There's a special on this morning that the children really want to watch. Then, it's going off.
Around the house... it's time to start seriously teaching my little one's the value of proper home keeping. They should be responsible for making their beds and cleaning up their toys daily. I confess that it is often easier for me (at the time) to take care of these things myself. However, it is NOT good child training.
One of my favorite things... a hot cup of coffee and a high speed internet connection. Slow internet connections really put a wrinkle in my ability to get on and off my computer quickly and back to the rest of my responsibilities.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Sewing and knitting. I'm also planning to tackle the children's clothing this week. I need to sort through their clothing and get it better organized and put away. I am having trouble finding the clothing that I need. I need to know if it's because we need more clothing or if it's just disorganized.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
Coming Later... My internet connection speed is NOT helping me to be able to upload anything this morning.
Ephesians 6:10 - 11 ~ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
