Once again I am cheating with the list. I have so many things running around my brain right now that I would not know how else to begin and I can't put off posting another day.
The weather in my neck of the woods: Sunny and beautiful. The weather channel says 75 today.
I am thinking: that I am so happy the house is clean.
I am thankful: for every blessing God has given me. I have heard so many heartbreaking stories from other women lately. It makes me even more thankful than usual for my many many blessings. I do not deserve to be so blessed.
From the kitchen: Nothing yet. Need to make some bread today so I don't have to go to the store. And some treats for my family would be nice. I broke my mixer paddle thing a few days ago and ruined an entire batch of cookies I was making for Luke. I still haven't made him cookies and I want to do that.
I am wearing: black yoga pants and a gray sweatshirt. I still have not showered yet today.
I am reading: the book of Isaiah.
I am hearing: the clock ticking and Luke snoring--he is off work today and still sleeping.
One of my favorite things: peace and quiet, no whining no fighting--it happens sometimes when everyone is home but not very often.
A few plans for the rest of the week: need to do PTSO newsletter, need to clean some windows, nothing big.
On my To Do List for today: make bread, maybe cookies, change all smoke detector batteries (have been putting it off, I hate ladders), call about PTSO newsletter and get to work on it, church tonight.
Lesson learned the past few days: wow. I attended the PWOC conference and had an absolutely amazing time. I learned that God is doing some big things with and through that group (internationally and locally). I learned things about individual women that inspired me and blessed me and showed me that I need to step out and DO more for God and other people around me. I learned that no matter how imperfect or messed up our lives may seem that we can love God and each other and make a difference in people's lives for the glory of God.
On my Prayer List: so many people I cannot list. Operation Christmas Child, PWOC sisters, all of the Ft. Hood community still hurting and scared. And a decision I am struggling with regarding stepping out for God, whether this is what God wants me to do--I do not feel capable of doing it and it scares me to death but I know God will equip me with what I need if it is what he wants me to do. I need to know, to hear clearly from God before I make this decision.
Scripture for today: Isaiah 6:8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said "Here I am. Send me!" This has been THE verse for days.
