The Simple Woman's Daybook

Let's be honest its been a long time since I've really posted anything...I just need to get back in the habit. I miss posting. Its kinda cathartic.

Outside my window...sunshine and melting snow. Its OHIO in January and its supposed to be 50 degrees.

I am thinking...about spending time with family. Its been a month since we've hung out with my mom and dad. The kids are SO excited!

I am thankful...my good eaters. Even though I have to adjust the meals due to allergies, they eat lots of fruit and veggies!

From the kitchen...homemade bread

I am wearing...maternity jeans and purple top

I am wondering...if I am going to get my devotional written for next Thursday

I am blessed...to have a hardworking husband and a patient hubs when I haven't been feeling so good with this pregnancy.

I am hearing...the little kids making a joyful noise

From around the house...clutter, Christmas decorations and toys!

A favorite thing...a HOT cup of coffee

A verse...Psalm 79: 13 " Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will praise you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise."

I really want to work on praising God in all things...good or bad!

A picture....

grrrrrrrr

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 ...
