A Simple Woman's Daybook #4

FOR TODAY

Outside my window... It is dark, windy, and COLD thanks to Hurricane Sandy and this Canadian Cold Front.

I am thinking...  That I am excited about our upcoming revival meeting.

I am thankful... For my church home, my family, a fireplace. For the work of God in my husband's life.

In the kitchen... There are many dishes that will soon find their way into the dishwasher.

I am wearing... A favorite jean skirt, pink shirt, and hubby's flannel shirt, it is cold.

I am creating... A pink camo quilt and some denim skirts very soon.

I am going... No where today.

I am wondering... How cold it will actually get tonight.

I am reading... Contagious Joy, Hebrews

I am hoping... For a good turn out at the revival meetings, and for the Lord to move, that we may see souls saved.

I am looking forward to... The revival and the holiday season.

I am learning... That the mercy of the Lord endureth forever. Truly, it does; it isn't just words.

Around the house... All is quiet, all are sleeping.

I am praying... For the Lord's will above all. For guidance and protection. For provision. Praying for those in the path of Hurricane Sandy. For the revival.

A favorite quote for today... "Everybody s a genus, but if you judge a fish on it's ability to climb a tree, it will live the rest of it's life thinking that it is stupid."

One of my favorite things... Chilly autumn nights snuggled up with my husband in front of the fireplace.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Staying warm and collecting more firewood. School as usual. Learning to crochet.

I am wearing... An old jean skirt, cream peasant top, and my hubby's blue flannel shirt.

I am going... No where today, nor for the rest of the week. Unless Jesus calls me up, of course.

I am wondering... If business plans will work out next year.

I am hoping... That six stamps will be sufficient to mail this package out.

I am looking forward to... Thanksgiving

I am learning... About the rest of the Lord.

Around the house... The children are playing.

I am praying... For the Lord's will over an area in particular, for business plans to work out.

A favorite quote for today... "You can’t know God’s will if you’re not in God’s Word, if you’re not reading it, studying it, meditating on it, asking God to apply it to your heart." ~Nancy Leigh DeMoss

One of my favorite things... Long walks in the Autumn sun as the breeze gently caresses my face, surrounded by the rich chorus of crickets, birds, frogs, and cows. Perfect harmony.
