Daybook!

FOR TODAY, Monday, Sept 26, 2011-- where is September going??

Outside my window... a rainy day here, which is okay by me. Lots to do around the house.

I am thinking... when I miss church my week is off to a different start

I am thankful for...ants, surprisingly. I actually hate the little buggers, but they've found a way into our kitchen (not near the food, just kind of everywhere) so I had a reason to deep clean (i.e. clean the dish rack). The ladies at the hardware store told me everyone in town is having issues with ants this year. Sigh.

Oh, and thankful for some great sales at Rite Aid! I got a few things we needed and I saved a bunch of money!

From the kitchen... we were gifted with a big basket of squash, peppers and eggplant. Dinner will be eggplant stuffed with peppers, onions, turkey sausage and cheese. I'm optimistic.

I am wearing... jeans, maroon t-shirt and grey button down sweater

I am creating... a redecorated house! My husband and I are on a roll... lets hope the progress continues!

I am reading... Parents magazine... some articles are good, some are not.

I am praying... for God's will in the last few days of September as we attempt to sell the rest of the restaurant equipment. Sad, but we're really ready to move on. Now we just need the equipment to sell so we can pay the rest of the loan.  

     -Praying for our church building, which has a mold issue. 

     -Praying for little Sophie, 2 years old, who has brain cancer (the details are not completely clear at this point, and the doctors think there is a small chance it is curable. I used to work with Sophie's mom. Please keep this family in your prayers!)

     -Praying for my brother who is spending 5 weeks in Europe. He's about 3 weeks into the trip and is homesick (although he's having a great time). 

I am hoping... to find the best way to preserve eggplant

Around the house... a new window seat in the living room! It's about a third of the way finished, but it's great already! Makes the room seem bigger. It will give us added storage and seating when it's finished.

One of my favorite things... seeing ideas become reality

 

Pondering these words... "Clothe yourself in tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, making allowances for each others faults, forgiveness, and most importantly, wear love." Col 3:12-14

 

A few plans for the rest of the week... enjoying fall and family, starting Ladies Bible Study again!

A picture thought I'm sharing... Isn't this beautiful? We followed this balloon through the countryside a few weeks ago. So neat!!
