Simple Woman Daybook #8

I think the last time I did one of these was in August.....so I am a little over-due!! I am so thankful it is Friday! This week was long, and so tiring! I can not believe how extremely exhausted I am! Last night I was in bed before 9:00 pm. John was trying to talk to me and I could not keep my eyes open!

For Today . . . October 22nd, 2010

Outside my window... It is dark, cold and crisp, but a full moon is shining brightly.

I am thankful...for a lot right now. My beautiful kids who are sleeping and whom I miss so incredibly much while I am away at work. My wonderful hubby and all of the things he does for me. I came home to butter chicken in the crock pot, basmati rice on the stove, oven toasted pitas and homemade spinach dip that he made himself and it is amazing!! He did all of this and then ended up having to go into work, so we didn't get to enjoy it with him.

I am thankful...for an awesome God who lavishes us with unconditional love, grace and mercy--even when I don't deserve it.
I am praying...for a lot, a real lot, but most importantly a JOB!!!!!

I am praying...for the upcoming week that is so incredibly crazy for us. John has a modular (course in a week), the kids will be at the day home all week, I have an interview for a gov.'t job and have to work.

I am also praying for.....direction and wisdom to know where God wants us to be, His will for our lives and for Him to open and close the doors that need to be opened or closed!

I am thinking...about all the things I need to accomplish tomorrow and about what I am going to do with my kids by myself tomorrow.

I am also thinking....about a few new developments that God has placed in our laps.

I am celebrating...that I survived this incredibly long week.

From the kitchen...my hubby's wonderful cooking!

I am wearing...jeans and a t-shirt.

I am reading...the Bible, and an awesome book by Francis Chan called Crazy Love. Our small group is doing the Bible Study and it is really challenging.

I am hoping...that I will get some time to do some scrap booking soon.

I am hearing...just the fan. I can't sleep without a fan, and now I have our whole family hooked too!

I am creating...absolutely nothing. I would like to start a project that I would like to make for Christmas, but I never have time or energy.

Around the house... it's a disaster. I can't keep up with work, kids and searching for jobs.

One of my favorite things....seeing God work in other people's lives.

A few plans for the rest of the week...nothing much for the weekend. We need some family time!

Here are a few picture thoughts I'm sharing with you....

How I love these two! This picture makes me smile and melts my heart! So them!

Trying out some new 'actions'! Check out her new bangs--I wasn't sure at first, but I really like them on her now!

Thanksgiving with Mom and Mr. Bill! The kids adored having them! I love these pictures too!
