\"Simple<\/p>\n

FOR TODAY<\/strong> October 12, 2015<\/p>\n

Outside my window…<\/strong> 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!<\/p>\n

I am thinking…<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

I am thankful…<\/strong> for Promise FM<\/a>. 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!<\/p>\n

In the kitchen…<\/strong> didn’t cook today but probably some gluten-free mac n’ cheese tomorrow.<\/p>\n

I am wearing…<\/strong> green shirt and capri sweats.<\/p>\n

I am going…<\/strong> to be playing “catch up” tomorrow after being gone for four days.<\/p>\n

I am wondering…<\/strong> about a lot of things right now.<\/p>\n

I am reading…<\/strong> Furiously Happy<\/u> by Jenny Lawson.<\/p>\n

I am hoping…<\/strong> school goes well for Daniel tomorrow.<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to…<\/strong> Bible study on Wednesday!<\/p>\n

I am hearing…<\/strong> nothing.<\/p>\n

A Daniel story for today…<\/strong> Mr. Boy usually comes and crawls onto my bed around 11 pm or midnight and he even tucked himself in tonight.<\/p>\n

Around the house…<\/strong> silence — everyone but me is asleep.<\/p>\n

A favorite quote for today…<\/strong> “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!)<\/p>\n

One of my favorite things…<\/strong> discovering new artists or lesser known works by established artists of the musical variety.<\/p>\n

A few plans for the rest of the week:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

A peek into my day…<\/strong> Some of the new songs I heard this weekend:<\/p>\n

“This Little Light of Mine” by Addison Road<\/p>\n
