Simple Woman's Daybook - September 9th

FOR TODAY

Outside my window... blue skies after an unexpected thunderstorm this afternoon

I am thinking... about working on my current quilt top once dinner is complete

I am thankful... that I did not slice into my finger while trimming photos! The knife barely missed.

From the learning rooms... I finished The Hunchback of Notre Dame today and will be starting The Three Musketeers next week.

In the kitchen... waiting for the tofu to finish pressing so that I can make curry for dinner

I am wearing... blue jean skirt and a simple gray top from Old Navy

I am creating... a new quilt top!

I am going... to church tomorrow morning, the Lord willing

I am wondering... which church I will attend

I am reading... several books at the moment

I am hoping... that my hubby will have the entire weekend off from work

I am looking forward to... the Sabbath! An entire day to spend with God

I am hearing... hubby talking to his mom on the phone

Around the house... all is quiet and all is clean

I am pondering... Levitical laws and which are applicable today

One of my favorite things... quilting and my kitty

A few plans for the rest of the week... curry, quilting, and a good book

Here is picture for thought I am sharing... three sets of 9 patches are complete. Two others are partially complete.


Have a blessed weekend!

The Simple Woman's Daybook - Entry 3

I haven't done a Daybook entry in awhile and decided today would be a perfect day for it.

Outside my window... kids walking home from school.

I am thinking... how excited I am that Sabbath starts in only an hour!

I am thankful for... A God who loves me.

I am wearing... a long jean skirt, black leggings, and a purple long sleeve shirt.

I am remembering... the spiritual struggles I've been going through this week.

I am going... to study my Bible more.

I am currently reading... Slave, by John MacArthur, Proverbs, and Romans 8.

I am hoping... that I can find the answers to my questions about God.

On my mind... what I'm making for dinner and the upcoming Sabbath rest.

Noticing that... my desk is slowly getting cleaner but it still too cluttered.

Pondering these words... "Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1).

In the kitchen... my dishwasher needs emptied and a few hand washed dishes need put away. I'm making curry for dinner!

Around the house... very clean but needs a woman's touch... candles or a finished quilt or some art on the walls. Our apartment still looks like a college dorm!

One of my favorite things... knowing my hubby is home for the day.

From my picture journal...
Mom, I don't know what to think about this thing you call a "kitty carrier."


But I guess I'll lay down in it!

Don't tell him... but that's called "kitty carrier training part 1: success!"

Simple Woman's Daybook - Entry 2

I thought I'd post another The Simple Woman's Daybook entry today to mark the beginning of Sabbath.

Outside my window... the light is quickly fading. Cars drive by on our newly paved road.

I am thinking... how nice it is that my hubby doesn't have to worry about work for another 24 hours.

I am thankful for... the Sabbath. We're going to try to make it to church tomorrow, provided we don't sleep through it! This has been a terrible week for sleep.

From the kitchen... a new pumpkin bread recipe is baking in the oven. Freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg smells really good!

I am wearing... workout clothes from a walk we took earlier this afternoon.

I am creating... a peaceful atmosphere in our home with a clean house, nice music, and pumpkin bread in the oven.

I am going... to make dinner shortly.

I am reading... nothing at the moment. I just finished a book and haven't decided what I'm going to start next.

I am hoping... that Sabbath will be restful.

I am hearing... "Let My Words be Few" by Phillips, Craig, and Dean.

Around the house... is clean and relaxed.

One of my favorite things... knowing we're going to have a nice treat for dessert.

A few plans for the rest of the week... Church tomorrow and a day of relaxation. Nothing specific, though.

A picture thought

Today's sunset wasn't quite this pretty, but this is the view from our patio window. I love enjoying the sunsets!

The Simple Woman's Daybook - Day 1

I've seen The Simple Woman's Daybook in a number of blogs but had never actually thought about participating. This week I thought I'd join in the fun.

Outside my window... a beautiful Arizona sunset.

I am thinking... that Sabbath is almost here!

I am thankful for... Sabbath. I love the opportunity to spend an entire day with God without worrying about the daily stresses.

From the kitchen... We are having sub sandwiches tonight with tons of fresh veggies, followed by leftovers from yesterday's homemade pumpkin pie.

I am wearing... A green skirt and a purple top. Yes, I know I don't match. Our AC is still broken so I'm wearing t-shirts instead of my normal attire.

I am creating... Nothing at the moment.

I am going... To have sundown worship after finishing this blog post.

I am reading... The Well Trained Mind. Hopefully I'll have it finished up this weekend so I can start something new!

I am hoping... That my kitty will stay healthy.

I am hearing... My husband play his DDR game.

Around the house... It is peaceful after the organizing I tackled yesterday.

One of my favorite things... Friends!

A few plans for the rest of the week... Tomorrow is the Sabbath so we'll be going to church and relaxing with God. I'll be reading a Christian book tomorrow afternoon, but I have not yet picked out which one.

Usually the daybook also includes a picture for thought, but I have no pictures to post right now.

I hope everyone has a restful time with the Lord this weekend!
