FOR TODAY…

Outside my window… It is grey and snow is falling

I am thinking… what should I make for dinner

I am thankful for… my husband

I am wearing… a denim skirt and green/blue shirt

I am remembering…Spring in Arizona

I am currently reading… A Sane Woman’s Guide to Raising a Large Family by Mary Ostyn

I am hoping… that we can find THE place to put down roots

Pondering these words…

I am starved for the Bread of Heaven and I beg for that which is true sustenance and nothing on the earth or in the self can satisfy and I crave desperate for the Body and the Blood and Him, my only hope of righteousness.

– Ann at A Holy Experience

From the kitchen… Blueberry Coffee Cake

Around the house… trying to figure out how to make a “Family Closet” work

One of my favorite things~ Cheesy Fries

FOR TODAY…

Outside my window… It’s snowing

I am thinking… how do I get our rhythms/routines back on track

I am thankful for… my husband’s new job

I am wearing… a paisley green shirt, denim skirt & grey cashmere sweater

I am remembering…my dear friend who gave me the sweater

I am currently reading…Crazy Love

I am hoping… we can figure out a new home for us before our lease is up

On my mind… menu planning

Noticing that…the house is still messy but it’s getting better

Pondering these words…

“This is the year of Instead. It rolls off my tongue a little easier every day, and his friend, Yes, has been popping her head in more often, too. The key is to say the word first, quickly, then pause to think about how to make it happen. The children will help you, their hearts pounding a little faster when they realize their request is now a strong possibility. ” ( http://mamahooper.blogspot.com/2010/01/year-of-instead.html )

From the kitchen… Lentil Soup

Around the house… Kids Playing Hide & Seek

One of my favorite things~ Holding a sleeping baby

Daily Life – June 16, 2008

Here’s a glimpse of my life today:

My Bible Verse…

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
(1Pe 1:3-5 ESV)

I am thinking…

about our church family and the struggles we have lived through these past couple of years. What can we do? Can this body get back on track?

From the kitchen…

orange chicken and rice for dinner tonight

I am wearing…

teal t-shirt & shorts

I am reading…

Raising Godly Tomatoes

I am hoping…

that the bank accepts our new offer on a 3.3 acre property we are hoping to buy this week

Around the house…

it is quiet time, only the sound of the ceiling fan turning above me, the a/c turning on (its supposed to be 112 today) and my daughter’s audio book playing in the other room.

My Prayer…

That I can learn to have a joyful spirit

I am thankful for…

my father, my husband, our children, my in-laws, air conditioning!, encouraging older women in my life: Karen, Betty, & Mary
