Musings: Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window...

I woke up to thunderstorms and had to drive my kids to school through a deluge.
The clouds rolled away and the sunshine brightened the afternoon.
The sunset was beautiful this evening and now the stars are shining in the clear night sky.

I am thinking...

about making a check list of all the things I need to do.
My mental list is driving me slightly mad.

I am thankful...

for my Mama and Daddy. She fixed dinner for us tonight and allowed me to sit and vent and feel sorry for myself for a while. Both my parents are such strong people who I admire so much and I am so grateful for the strength, encouragement and words of wisdom they freely give.

I am wearing...

Yoga clothes. I actually exercised today.

I am hearing...

Esther playing her ukulele

I am creating...

a Grandparents Day program at school this week. The risers, backdrop and sound equipment get set up tomorrow. Rehearsals all this week and then the performance on Friday. I love show time!

I am going...

to Swing Dance lessons tomorrow night and then heading to a big Swing shindig in Dallas this weekend. I'm excited that I'm getting to experience fun new things and make some good friends in the process.

I am wondering...

what's next

I am reading...

Daily Bible reading on my She Reads Truth app

A Year With C.S. Lewis

I am hoping...

to get myself in a better routine. There are things that need to get done but by the end of the day, I'm wiped out. I need to work smarter, not harder and prioritize my time.

I am praying...

for wisdom
for my kids
for my Boaz

I've been praying for my Boaz, my future husband, since God spoke it into my heart.
I have been so encouraged by A Modern Day Ruth:

Yesterday she posted about the hundreds of prayers she prayed for her future husband. I found this inspiring, so this has become my prayer for the man God will allow to hold my heart and my hand.
Lord, I ask You to bless him, to cover him, to favor him and strengthen him in his walk with You. Help me not to settle for second best, but to wait patiently on him.
And help me as You mold me into the woman You want me to be.

I am learning...

to let things go.

In my garden...

some of my daffodils are beginning to bloom!
I thought I took a picture of the first beautiful bud, but I can't find it.
They were a little beat down my the storm today, but I'll try to get a shot when they perk back up.

In my kitchen...

Mom made dinner tonight. :)

A Favorite Verse for today....
