Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window....sunshine and 89 today!

I am thinking...I will probably not get to shower before nap time since all the kids were up by 6:45 am

I am thankful for...a husband who helps around the house

I am laughing...at my 3 year old who likes to dress {mismatched} and undress herself SEVERAL times a day. RIGHT now she's wearing a coral floral skirt and a pink Mackinaw Island t-shirt.

From my kitchen...blueberry muffins for breakfast and some to freeze for the school year

I am wearing...a college t-shirt that's12 years old and showing its age and capri sweatpants

I am blessed...to have friends who I get along with and that our children love being together.

I am praying...for a friend in surgery today

I am hearing...the little man trying to go upstairs because his sisters are up there

Around the house...bathrooms that need cleaned

I am pondering...about God's timing. The door just isn't opening or closing we are just waiting....sigh

A few of my favorite things...coffee and quiet time....kids playing without fighting!

Next week...Bible study and a meeting about upcoming CBS plans and probably some school shoe shopping

A verse...Jeremiah 29:13 "You will seek and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

A song....just because it makes me laugh!

Do this yourself and go here!

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 ...
