FOR TODAY October 12, 2015
Outside my window… dark. I have no idea what temperatures were here because I was gone from Friday morning until tonight but I heard something about triple digits. Yuck!
I am thinking… about whether I would have stood up and proclaimed my Christian faith had I been in the room with the Umpqua Community College shooter. I probably would have done so… which I’m pretty sure would scare the pants off my non-believer parents.
I am thankful… for Promise FM. I’m in the midst of making some hard decisions and it was really helpful to have songs outlining God’s promises for my life while I was driving through central California today!
In the kitchen… didn’t cook today but probably some gluten-free mac n’ cheese tomorrow.
I am wearing… green shirt and capri sweats.
I am going… to be playing “catch up” tomorrow after being gone for four days.
I am wondering… about a lot of things right now.
I am reading… Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson.
I am hoping… school goes well for Daniel tomorrow.
I am looking forward to… Bible study on Wednesday!
I am hearing… nothing.
A Daniel story for today… Mr. Boy usually comes and crawls onto my bed around 11 pm or midnight and he even tucked himself in tonight.
Around the house… silence — everyone but me is asleep.
A favorite quote for today… “Do one thing every day that scares you.” — Eleanor Roosevelt. I chose this one because my mom quotes it to me frequently. (Dealing with social service agencies is not for the faint-hearted!)
One of my favorite things… discovering new artists or lesser known works by established artists of the musical variety.
A few plans for the rest of the week: catching up on errands and paperwork tomorrow, Bible study and probably a quiet service on Wednesday, soccer practice on Thursday, and Matt’s Run on Saturday before Daniel’s soccer game.
A peek into my day… Some of the new songs I heard this weekend:
“This Little Light of Mine” by Addison Road
“Painting Pictures of Egypt” by Sara Groves
