  • My Tuesday

    Outside my window:  We are supposed to have a great day today.. according to the weatherman.  I plan on cleaning the windows today.  I have a lot I need to do outside to get the yard ready for winter, but for today.. I will only focus on having clean windows.

    Through my door:  Jeff has to go buy a tire today.  We cannot afford it right now, but it’s not something we can do without with all the driving he has to do.  The spare is on the car, and even it needs to be replaced soon.. but for now, we will focus on one tire.  It’s taking every penny of my grocery money for the next two weeks to pay for the tire.  I’m trying not to be upset about this.. because God knows.. but the Momma in me worries about how I will feed the boys.

    I am thinking:     I am so far from where I need to be.  I have made choices that do not bring glory to Him.  I know I need to change things, and I’m working towards that.  An unexpected friend/ally in this has arisen in the midst of things.  WOW.. it’s amazing who God uses to make His will known.  To make His will obvious to me.  I am so amazed at Him and His ways.

    I am hearing:      Francis Chan teaching.  He’s my favorite Pastor to listen to online (other than my Pastor of course!).  I have need to soak up so much from Him today, and I’m soaking it up through Francis right now.  I am so blessed to have the internet and the ability to do this.
     
    I am thankful for:      We have a roof over our head, clothes on our back.. and knowing that God is going to feed us over the next two weeks.  I cannot do that.. it has to come from Him.  I am thanking Him now for the provision that I know is on the way.  He will not let us go hungry.
     
    I am wearing:     I’m still in my jammies.  I don’t want to get dressed.  I know at some point I will need to, but right now.. I’m so cozy and don’t want to change and know that my day is up and running.  Oh how I would love a down day of nothing but jammies, coffee, studying, podcasts, etc.
     
    I am remembering:     My time at the farm with Christie.  I think that’s what I’m craving the most right now.  A week of spending time with her.. studying the Word.. enjoying the farm through her eyes.. all the pictures.  *smile*  I can’t wait to do that again.  I miss my friend so much.  She truly “gets me” and understands where I’m at spiritually.  I love studying the Word with her..  =)
     
    I am going:     No where.  Yesterday was a lot of driving for me and I had to use my son’s car.  I was nervous about wrecking his car.  I had to get our puppy to the vet for his neuter, then back home.  Our vet is 40-50 minutes away (depending upon traffic).  We had Capone on a puppy package, and thankfully, we should be done with the vet for a year.  Anyway.. after two trips to the vet and back yesterday.. I’m ready to just stay home today.
     
    I am reading:     I haven’t had time to sit down and read at all this week.  I need to make an effort to do that today.  I think it will help me tremendously. 
     
    I am hoping:     Today would be a good day for God to show me how He is going to provide for our needs.  I know that He doesn’t owe me that, but I sure hope that He reveals it to me. 
     
    On my mind:     Slim/Bill and his family are on my mind.. Kelly is on my mind.. my choices that are disappointing to God, and the choices I need to make that would bring joy and blessings into my life.
     
    From the learning rooms:     We will do our lessons today.  Sam is out of his supplements, so schooling is a trial for both of us right now.  I know I have at least 3 more weeks of that ahead of me.  I can’t let that get me down now.. I just have to take it one day at a time and pray through it.  He’s with me.. and He can get me through..

    From the kitchen:     I have a pot of soup from a friend, so I won’t have to worry about dinner tonight.  He has fed us.  I will make some bread today to go with it.  Jeff won’t eat it (he doesn’t like vegetable soup).  I will find something for him (rice or pasta with butter and parmesan). 
     
    Noticing that:     My ankle still causes me pain from time to time.  I guess I need to take note of that and take care of it when that happens, rather than pushing through the pain like I normally do.  How frustrating that it’s still causing me pain.
     
    Around the house:     I need to finish some cleaning and organizing.. as well as laundry.  I hate getting so far behind on things.  I’m ready to get back to my daily schedule and sticking with it.

    Healthy living:     I’m still watching the scale go down.  I’m leaning less and less on Weight Watchers, and more and more towards intuitive eating.  It’s becoming so much easier for me than counting points.  God has designed our bodies in an amazing way, and when I can truly obey .. I’m able to experience the release of the weight.  How amazing!

    I am praying:     For my friends to be blessed with their needs and wants.
     
    I am planning:     The busy weekend ahead.  We have a party to go to, dinner with friends, and a need to have a couple over for dinner soon.
     
    One of my favorite things:     My mp3 player.. cause I can take my podcasts with me.  =)

    Simple pleasures:     I’m planning to take a bubble bath at some point today.  I need that.. mentally..
