Monday February 1, 2010 Outside My window
I think it might be the sun! We are supposed to get some snow later but I am not sure what that is going to amount to.
I am thinking
about prayer. My Pastor mentioned on Sunday evening that when we pray with fellow believers, as they have been filled with the spirit, it is as if we are praying with Christ. When we pray, as filled with the spirit, it is as though Christ himself is praying. "Know ye not that you are the temple of God!"
The plainest sign of wisdom is a continual cheerfulness: her state is like that of things in the regions above the moon always clear and serene.
Micheal De Montaigne
From the learning room
Sometimes its just hard to concentrate!
Like when you have a two year old drawing on your back!On a serious note we are going to try block scheduling with DMD for the next week. Instead of every subject, every day, we are going to do blocks of subjects. DOD had recommended this type of schedule before school started but I was not sure how it would work. We are about to find out!
In My Kitchen
Friday - homemade pizza
Saturday - bean burgers and home made onion rings
Sunday - Lunch with our new Pastor and his family, dinner soup and sandwich supper at church. Emily is making her famous chocolate brownies and we are taking turkey and ham hoagies for our contribution to the soup and sandwich supper. I am making a carrot cake for our contribution to lunch.
Monday - Skillet Pasta
Tuesday - Layered Taco bake / vegan taco
Wednesday - French toast
Thursday - Stuffed peppers
I am wearing
a denim skirt, orange t shirt with a brown argyle sweater and brown keds
I am praying
for our first phone call. We received our license for foster and adoption on Friday. Now we wait and pray.
I am reading
We are starting a new family read aloud by G.A. Henty called In Freedoms Cause.
I am hearing
vacuuming. My littlest niece needed a job so she is running around the house with a kone vacuuming everything in sight!
Around the house
The move is complete. Now we are working on the nursery / bedroom. The cowboys are coming down. We will be painting ( I have picked out a sage color) and putting in carpet. I had planned on redoing the wood floor in this bedroom but it is in really bad shape and would have to be taken completely out and relaid. I decided that was going to be to much work for the amount of time we have. On the other hand I have enough carpet in storage to cover the floor nicely.
A few plans for the rest of the week
A friend is going to teach DMD and I how to make a 9 piece quilt. We would like to be able to make quilts for the new mommies at church and for the children who come into our home or the homes of friends as foster children. DYS and Mr. have shooting club.
One of my favorite things
Having fresh flowers in the house. I was desperate for COLOR! When we were at Sam's club I decided to splurge and bought a large multi colored bouquets. Then when Mr. came home he had brought two lovely bouquets! I split all the flowers up and ended up with three lovely vases of color in various places around the house.
