Simple Woman's Daybook

From my window...darkness and snow and a quiet street

I am thinking...I have such an amazing husband who stepped up and took over parenting while I was ill this weekend.

From the kitchen...smell of tonight's dinner (baked spaghetti)

I am hearing... the hum of the dryer

I am thankful...for an amazing group of women who prayed for our family today

I am wearing...sweat pants, slippers and a t-shirt that's 9 years old

I am creating....child #1's 100's day of school t-shirt for her 100's day fashion show

I am going... to a surprise party tomorrow

I reading..."Preparing him for the other Woman: a Mother's Guide to Raise her Son to Love a Wife and Lead a Family." by Sheri Rose Shepherd

I am craving...chocolate, but after losing 5 pounds in 24 hours (mostly due to the pukies) I don't know that I will give in

Around the house...laundry that needs folded

One of my favorite things....Community Bible Study~its been so challenging to me and my faith and I love it. I need to look a few more things for our study of 1 &2 Kings

A few plans....get breakfast prepared for tomorrow {at least the dry ingredients}, clean the toy tornado, making plans to go to the aquarium with some friends this weekend

Verse I am pondering: Romans 8:38-39 " I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

A JOURNEY OF THE HEART

"No NO No NO NO No!" That was a recent entry into my journal. I was asked to do something that I without a shadow of a doubt knew it was God asking me to do it. AND I DIDN'T WANT TO! I literally followed it with 2 pages of ME telling God why I didn't want to do it and why I couldn't do it. Yes 2 pages. Wow! I strapped on my toddler attitude and went to town. *Flashback to 1 month ago* Child #1's Kindergarten teacher, Kara, also attends the church we attend and we occasionally see each other at the same service. Well, one particular evening we got to talking and she asked me to join our church's version of VBS. We go to the west side {off campus} of town to the Somalian population and do a day time VBS and lunch for these kids for an entire week. Cool part, my own kids can come and be apart of the "missions trip." What an invaluable a lesson to my kids to show love to others! Kara is heading crafts and wanted me to craft it up with her. ...

serving with a grateful heart

1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." This year my little gang of cheerios and I have been working on being intentional about serving. To be honest for a long time the excuses of having to many littles was beginning to wear thin. Now I have been looking for opportunities that my littles could easily accomplish. Yesterday, we attended a Lenten service at our church. It was a beautiful Prayer walk. We walked through stations, preparing our hearts for this season of Lent. It was a perfect activity for our family to do together. In the Lenten study package was The Names of God Bible reading challenge . I am really thrilled to focus in on the Names of God for this season. Preparing my heart for the Easter season. So today, the sanctuary needed cleaned. All the stations needed put back in the closets and offices that they were borrowed from. Little ...
