Simple Woman's Daybook-September 2015

 

"Every day is a blank page, what will be written on yours?."

FOR TODAY, September 15, 2015

Outside my window . . . it is beginning to feel like fall in the mornings and evenings but summer says I am not quite gone throughout the day when temps are still rising close to 90

I am listening to . . . Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with my little grand

I am thinking . . . I am excited about some new craft paint, paintbrushes and the crafts that are roaming around in my head, we shall see if they make it out of there

I am thankful . . .for my youngest son, he is taking his Dad on a daytrip just the two of them, he bougth the tickets, planned and paid for the trip just for the two of them, he is a sweet young man

In the kitchen . . .what shall I cook while I am home alone, I am sure that there will be plenty of hot tea

I am wearing . . . exercise pants, tshirt and tennis shoes, now will I do more exercise thn chasing Jet,that is still yet to be determined.

I am creating . . .  ideas for some crafts, possible some Christmas presents for my family

I am going . . . to just enjoy this wonderful day God has given us

I am wondering . . . about some prayer needs and praying God's will over them and trying hard not to worry

I am reading . . .

I am looking forward to . . .to the study I am doing online with some other sweet ladies to go with the above book

I am learning . . .about the importance of having girlfriends even as adult women

Around the house . . . I am slowly cleaning and decluttering and putting out fall stuff

I am pondering . . .why I keep trying to take back the problems I give to God over and over

A favorite quote for today . . .don't quit, just get up, move, try again and keep going

Some of my favorite things . . .family time, computer games, spending time with friends, redbirds, doing crafts though I am not too good, writing letters, poems, journals and reading

A few plans for the rest of the week . . .bless my house, church, preschool with Jet, my brothers wedding this weekend

A peek into my day . . .

God bless,

Pat

Excited about Blogging again-----on my terms!

     I have tried to blog several times.  I always go good for awhile and then I fail and quit.  I fail, well I fail in doing what I think others expect of me.  I love when people read my blog and comment but really alot of this blog is for me.  So I am trying again and I will be taking a new journey with my blog and I will be grateful if you share the journey too but if no one does it still will be my journey.

The picture above is me-we are getting real here.  I am a wife of 29 years, a Moma 3 times over and a Mamaw 4 times over.  I am working on losing weight but loving who I am as I walk that journey too.  

So welcome, or welcome back and lets see what this blog becomes......

God bless,

The Clock Says....
10:13 PM

Outside My Window....

The sunny day has given way to a clear warm night with a few stars 

I Am Thinking....

About how I need to get serious on some physical and spiritual things in my life that need some attention

I Am Thankful....

for my sweet kids, hubby and friends who took time out of Father's day stuff to make sure I had a wonderful precious birthday

I Am Wearing....

jeans, red tshirt and razorback slides

I Am Creating....nothing, I really need to start taking time for this again

I Am Going....

to bed when my sons get home from the gym

I Am Wondering....

how my son will do in his new job, he will be swore in soon as an officer in our city

I Am Reading....
Proverbs

I Am Hoping....

I will get this house organized soon

I Am Learning....

That I matter and I need to make time for me.  Also I need to make sure I am where I need to be for my husband and family before I "complain" about how they are doing

Around The House....

so much clutter that needs to be downsized

In The Kitchen....

Nothing now but we had tilapia baked and salad for supper

I Am Pondering....
About my marriage and what God wants from me in this area

A Favorite Quote For The Day....

One Of My Favorite Things....

From The Board Room..

Proverbs Summer Bible Study 2015

I will be joining a group of friends online doing a Summer Bible study.  It starts on Monday and I am so excited to get started.  The study is to read and study one chapter in Proverbs a day.  

At the end we will study a little more intently on Proverbs 31.  I may not become the perfect Proverbs 31 lady through this study but I am praying it will help me become more faithful in reading my bible daily.  Also I am praying it will help me become closer to being the lady God has planned for me to be.

Why don't you consider taking the challenge and join us in reading a chapter a day too.  I will periodically post about this study as we go through it and what I am learning.

Until next time,

Pat

For Today…

Monday June 8,2015

Outside my window… night is starting to fall as I am late today posting this but it is still very hot

I am thinking.....about Bible school which starts tomorrow night at our church

I am thankful….for air conditioning on hot days

I am wearing…blue exercise pants and a blue tshirt and walking shoes

I am creating…lessons, coloring pages and crafts plans for my Children's church class at church

I am going…

to be registering the kids for the summer program at our local library

I am wondering…when this sarcoidosis flare will go awaybut not going to let it defeat me or stop me from my goals

I am reading…my bible and will be starting a Proverbs study next week

I am hoping…that the grands will go to bed soon and sleep all night

I am learning…that I am my own worst critic and problem that keeps me from reaching my goals

In my garden…doesn't look like a garden is going to be happening this year

In my kitchen…chicken "burgers" and the grands were fighting over them, pretty good to me too

A favorite quote for today…You teach more by what you do than what you say

A peek into one of my days…

One of my favorite things…

I am going to link this post to the Simple Woman’s Blog, so please click the link to read daybook posts by other bloggers.

Until next time,

April Psalm A Day Reading Challenge

Today is day 4 of our reading challenge.  Several of the verses reached out to me but the verse that I am sharing is this one-verse 3.

 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.

How amazing is it that the one who created the universe will hear us when we speak to Him.  Not only will He hear but He answers.

What is God saying to you as you read through the Psalms?  I hope you are enjoying this challenge.

God bless,

Pat
