The Simple Woman’s Daybook for May 16, 2016

Looking out my window … the sun is brightly glowing through the blinds right into my eyes.

I am thinking … about suffering graciously even when suffering needlessly and how that follows being mindful of, conscious of, our Lord’s example. Thankful for 1 Peter’s direction.

I am thankful … excellent preaching and teaching on using our words and speech … including in praise … from yesterday.

One of my favorite things … feeling accomplished when I get up and going. Laundry, dishes, devotions feel so much better at 8:30 than sitting and reading mindless fluff.

I am wearing … jeans and my UUNET rainbow tie-dye shirt.

I am creating … better habits. Again. I hope.

I am reading (read) /watching (watched) / listening to … a new podcast, At Home 6. I’ve only listened to one episode, but I think it’ll be worth continuing. I hope I can start to distinguish voices soon.

I am hoping … in nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness because I see more and more every day just how wickedly selfish and proud I am.

I am learning … that it is easier to fall into bad patterns than good ones.

In my kitchen … I washed some pots and pans and ran the first load of the dishwasher. I need to make a menu plan and grocery list next. Adulting. I hate that term.

In the school room … we have a couple of weeks of hard work to do after a light, easy week and then a week of IOWA Testing (another light, easy week) Funny how the busier our days are the better they go, but the lighter our days the less I want to do.

Board room … June will be here soon, the time to think about it is now:

Post Script

Mystie is doing another planningseminar this afternoon. Even if you can’t watch it today, sign up so you can watch the replay!

Shared Quote … last week’s Wednesdays with Words linkup post:

A moment from my day … our morning basket. It isn’t always quite this tidy.

Closing Notes …

I wrote this post about Attend! Serving Others then everything fell apart. I forget that attacks happen when you speak up. Now I need to get back to trusting God and resist the enemy because he will flee.
