FOR TODAY April 10, 2016
Outside my window… dark. It was grey with intermittent rain showers today. Despite being out of my migraine preventative (and having a doctor who refuses to prescribe it), I’m loving the weather.
I am thinking… about this week and the chaos it will bring.
I am thankful… that Daniel was in a cuddly mood today and decided to take a nap so I could have one as well.
In the kitchen… leftovers tomorrow.
I am wearing… my Run for the Little Flowers shirt and black capri sweats.
I am going… to pray for a somewhat quiet week for Daniel’s Spring Break even though I know I’m totally out of luck on that one!
I am wondering… how Tuesday will go.
I am reading… Accidental Saints by Nadia Bolz-Weber. I also have a ton of books checked out of the library as well.
I am hoping… for calmness in my day tomorrow… even though I know that it’s NOT going to happen.
I am looking forward to… all the home repairs and improvements being done!
I am hearing… “Annua Gaudia” by The Rose Ensemble.
A Daniel story for today… he kept asking for “shower” and we kept telling him that it was too early for his shower. When he took his nap this afternoon, Mom and I finally figured out why he was asking — his shower always comes before he goes to sleep at night so he thought he ought to have one before his nap!
Around the house… repairs/renovations/ordered chaos.
A favorite quote for today… “I need a God who is bigger and more nimble and mysterious than what I could understand and contrive. Otherwise it can feel like I am worshipping nothing more than my own ability to understand the divine.” — Nadia Bolz-Weber in Pastorix
One of my favorite things… music. It enriches my life.
A few plans for the rest of the week: collateral services meeting with Clementine tomorrow, blood work for the kid on Tuesday morning (it has to be fasting blood work too which will be a new level of hell for all of us), psych appointment on Wednesday, Jon visiting from Wednesday to Friday, morning prayer/Bible study on Thursday, and whatever else comes up.
A peek into my day… This song seems to describe my mindset at the moment.
Post Script… If y’all can pray for a special intention for me this month, I would greatly appreciate it.

As I type, I am listening to the music you shared. I do like The Rose Ensemble. I will listen to the second piece after this. Thanks for the music! I a, so sorry fpr your migraines. GN gets them too. I necer did, but I see how much she suffers. Count me as one of those who will pray for you this month! Peace.
I’m so sorry to hear that you suffer from migraines. I used to, before I had my two children, and they returned briefly after I had my second child, so I know how horrible it can be. Shame on that doctor for not helping you! I’ve heard of Accidental Saints, and need to get a copy to read. Praying you have a good Spring Break with Daniel. I have absolutely loved listening to Annua Gaudia. Thank you so much for sharing it. I’m honored to pray for your special intention this month. I hope you have a wonderful week!
The Annua Gaudia is from the “Road to Compostella” album from “The Rose Ensemble” and is available on iTunes.
I like your Daniel story. Kids are funny how they associate things with other things… in my house the kids learn to do their own laundry at age 8, which also happens to be the age where you are considered old enough to make the covenant of baptism in our church… so my 4-year-old has it in her head that there’s some connection between being baptized and doing your laundry!
Too cute!!!
