Outside my window . . .
The rain has stopped and the cloud cover is only patchy, grass is sparkling in the setting sun.

I am thinking . . .
About being more dilligent about using coupons to save us money.
I am thankful . . .
That God has really and truly changed my heart and directed it toward Him, particularly in the last 6 years of my life. I got a glimpse today of the life I used to live and am so thankful He is mighty to save and that he chose to save me!
I am learning . . .
That I am so richly blessed, instead of thinking about the things I could buy, think about what I can give and how I can be a better steward of what God has given me.
From the kitchen . . .
Oh heck, it was a busy and stressful day at work so...hot dogs. Haha.
I am wearing . . .
Charcoal grey Aerie lounge pats, Light grey Hanes long sleeved thermal, big squishy brown socks, and my beautiful engagement ring.
I am creating . . .
A new reading list. The Iliad, the Odyssey, Heroditus and some classical commentary.
I am going . . .
To wake up thirty minutes earlier tomorrow morning so I can prepare some things in the kitchen so dinner will be ready without much work on my part tomorrow evening.
I am reading . . .
The Bible. And will start The Iliad probably tomorrow-ish. :)
I am hoping . . .
That I can find time tomorrow to swing by the dry cleaners. Ack!
I am hearing . . .
Ryan Seacrest. Yes, I am watching American Idol. Don't laugh.
Around the house . . .
Darling Dog is spinning in circles trying to find that perfect sleeping spot. Silly little guy.
One of my favorite things . . .
Filling up a notebook with morning devotionals. It means I've got my priorites straight. I always do something corny like give the notebook a smooch before I place it on a bookshelf when I'm done with it.
I am realizing . . .
That I really don't like the electric guitar unless it is disguised with heavy instrumentation of other kinds.
I am noticing that . . .
My fervor for dusting the furniture has waned. It's usually my favorite house cleaning activity.
I am wondering . . .
If my mom will be able to handle grocery shopping with me...when they move here in one week! :)
Pondering these words . . .
"If a soul has any beauty, it is because Christ has endowed that soul, with His own, for in ourselves we are deformed and defiled! There is no beauty in any of us but what our Lord has worked in us."
~Charles Spurgeon
A few plans for the week . . .
Grocery Shopping, thorough cleaning of the floors, laundry, reading, and visiting with family.
Here is a picture thought that I am sharing:

Caroline,
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed reading your daybook thoughts. You should post them more frequently.
I had to laugh when you mentioned about your dog spinning in circles trying to find a place to sleep. My cats do that sometimes, too, especially the youngest, Lilly-Anne.
I have read "The Iliad," or was it "The Odyssey." See, it's been so long that I have forgotten, ha! I used to read poetic epics here and there during my unmarried years . . .
I like the picture too. Did you take that one?
Okay, I don't want to type a book here. Oh, thanks for leaving me a message at my cbox. You are welcomed to "chat" with me anytime. :)
Blessings,
-L. Rose
P.S. You're engaged? :) Congrats! Didn't think I saw that, did ya? :)
Farrah: My parents are good stuff. :) I'm really excited to live in the same state as my parents again...it has been just over ten years since we have lived on the same coast.
ReplyDeleteLady Rose: I used to post the Daybooks every week on my old blog, but not so much on this blog. I try to keep this one less about me and more about Him. :) And yes...I snapped that photo the day of our engagement down in San Diego.
