Manders' Simple Woman's Daybook



Outside My Window...traffic is rushing by.  Cars are speeding to work and trucks are making their deliveries.  It is just beginning to get light outside.  I can't wait until this weekend when we move our clocks back an hour...One final attempt to hold onto as much sunlight during the day as possible.

I am thinking...that it is nice to not have to drive my son to school today because he is sick.  It should be a nice relaxing day.

I am thankful for...God's faithfulness and His teachings to me this fall through my study of the Psalms of Ascent.  I am learning a lot and being challenged in the process.  God is good.

From the learning rooms...See the one above.  Beth Moore has been teaching us about the Feasts in the Old Testament.  This is really useful knowledge.  I love her teachings so much!

From the kitchen...Emma and I have been baking a lot of things lately.  (And it shows on my waiste line...LOL!)  She loves it and it has challenged me to bake, even though I do not like to bake as much as my Mother and Sister.

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

I am creating...a Christmas cloth or two from some lovely Christmas wool I found at Wal-mart.  The first one is a Santa cloth.  It is turning out pretty good.  I may try a Snowman shaped one next.

I am going...to a conference for Children's Ministry this weekend.  I am very excited.  Last year it was so good.  I even got to paint (see below) and we started doing Family Night once a week.  I can't wait to see what God has in store for me this year.

I am reading...nothing at the moment.  I want to find my Harry Potter books...

I am hoping...that all of the rides at Disneyland will be open when we go at the end of January.

I am hearing...the furnace, the kids playing in their rooms waiting for Mommy to get them up, and the coffee pot...

Around the house...cleaning has been happening in preparation for Christmas.

One of my favorite things...is Christmas.  So we are entering my favoritest time of year.  I love it.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: a conference, church, small group and some baking.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...
This is the painting I made at the Conference last year.  It speaks about worshipping God.  We send our praises up (the color) and He sends His love down (the gold).  Worship is something so near and dear to my heart.  I love leading people in worship, especially kids.

Tuesday Tunes 67: Never Think

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween.  I have really not been into blogging too much lately.  I apologize.  Life is busy these days, running kids back and forth to school and such.

Anyway, my sister and I used the "Halloween" opportunity to watch "Twilight" again.  I have really been into Rob Pattinson songs lately.  He has some on YouTube that he has performed in clubs and such.  There are a couple of his on the Twilight soundtrack as well.

This one is used in the movie when Bella and Edward are in the restaurant, after her run in with the crazy guys in Port Angeles.  (On a side note:  I was actually in Port Angeles... when I was a baby!  Stayed overnight!)  Anyway, I really like it.

Someone said that they wished Rob Pattinson would have been known for his music before his Edward role.  I agree.  He has talent!!  Enjoy!
