Daybook

for today.....

Outside my window...cloudy, may get lots of rain this afternoon and tonight ~ it'll be great to wash away some of this pollen

I am thinking...about how complicated life can be sometimes ~ its really sad when a young man has to spend many, many hours in school to get a decent job to support himself and a family. I think simpler lifestyles and living would be better for all of us.

I am thankful for...open-ness in talking, shared laughter

From the kitchen...honestly...right now, I don't have a clue

From the learning room...Spanish, Algebra, lots of Bible Drill practice, Language, History

I am wearing...lavendar top, black skirt

I am creating...smocked dresses, hand quilted wall hanging (my first)

I am going...to live a God-centered, home centered life

I am reading..."The Children Trap, Biblical Principles for Education" by Robert Thoburn, Psalms, "Experiencing God" by Henry Blackaby

I am praying...for my children to have the desires for a God-centered life

I am hearing...Bible Drill practice, puppy paws, fingers typing, cars driving by

Around the house...school, crafts, starting seeds for the summer garden

One of my favorite things...fun times with my girls

A few plans for the rest of the week...dance lessons, bible study, Associational Bible Drill, 1 day missions trip to a small Miss. church~ painting, recarpeting,community-wide cookout

Pictures to share...

I would love to post pictures of my flowering wisteria but mine isn't flowering.  In fact, it never has ~ I got ripped off in the wisteria dept., mine goes from vines to leaves ~ argh!  3 years and not a single lavendar blossom.  Greg suggested I stop on the side of the road and get a "cutting" to root but I would probably get poison ivy.
