The Simple Woman's Daybook ~#199~ 8/19/13
For Today . . .
Outside my window . . . dark sky, full moon. I'm writing that at night instead of morning, today.
I am thankful . . . to be able to bring in a paycheck, since THE Man was laid off 2 weeks ago.
I am thinking . . . that I hope one of his interviews turns into a fantastic job . . . SOON.
From the kitchen . . . roast beef sandwiches.
I am wearing . . . jammies ~ getting ready to bed; early to work in the morning.
I am creating . . . a peaceful, Christ-centered home.
I am going . . . to talk to someone very important later this week . . .
I am wondering . . . at the outcome . . .
I am hoping . . . that it turns out really well :-)
I am looking forward to . . . when the ball starts rolling.
I am learning . . . that God embraces the desire of my heart just as much as I do.
About the house . . . clogged kitchen drain. Not fun.
I am pondering . . . timing.
I am reading . . . Acts
One of my favorite things . . . reunions with old friends. My friend from high school, Shelly, was "back home" from Texas this past week. We got to see each other for a few short hours while she was here. What a blessing.
A few plans for the rest of the week . . . family time, work, doing a few more homeschool assessments, interview, worship . . .
A favorite thought for the day . . . "When God puts someone in my path and there's an opportunity to share the Gospel with them, don't worry ~He's in control ~ He's already spent years working everything out so that we could come together for this very moment. He has personally arranged the opportunity." ~from Sunday's sermon.
Scripture thought . . . "When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so the your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power." ~1 Cor. 2:1-5 ~~Whenever I do a workshop or am asked to speak before a group, I always open my presentation with this Scripture.

I'm a little late getting around to catching up on blog reading. I've had a rough week physically and just haven't taken the time. Kim, I am so sorry to learn about your husband being laid off from his job. I will be praying along with you that he has a good interview that will put him back to work soon. I will also be praying about the important appointment you mentioned for the end of the week!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you my friend.
Prayers for your hubby's job search. God will provide.
