So i've read from other bloggers and will now put into practice this: put an entry in on my own blog before I spend so much time reading other blogs. This way I can get my thoughts and info down and not feel so rushed. I can alway go back to other blogs and read them ~smile~ I love reading your blogs. Your stories, recipes, photo's. Its been like a little family community to me and i've so enjoyed my time here so far. Today the sun has finally decided to show up. Yea! It's still windy but at least its not overcase and raining. We've been in the house for 2 days. Not due to the weather but my husband has been on vacation this last week so we've enjoyed having him around more. We've been watching movies, playing some new learning computer games we got for Christmas and well, just plain being lazy (that's what I call it when I dont do anything for more than a day!) LOL Yesterday I managed to start the laundry only to notice that water was dripping from the fan in the ceiling fan. So began the great inspection..is the roof leaking, is there something wrong with the fan, its is condensation from the outside weather and the heat of the dryer in such a small space? We still havent been able to find the leak but it has stopped so today hubby will inspect somemore. He thinks now that maybe the hose from the dryer to outside has a kink in it and the dryer maybe pushed to close to which would have cause it. For now im thankful to have the washer and dryer I have and the tiny wash room. I will be a good stewart of this and other areas of my home so the Lord will bless us with a larger home which we are praying for. Today my daughter and I will go out "tottling" around town. I have some earrands to do and we just want to get out of the house. We'll take a drive and stop for coffee (ok, I know you know she's 11yrs old but she likes this vanilla frap drink - no coffee in it :) ) Maybe we'll run my the thrift store. There is a little road by our house and some folks say it will take you the back way to the next town so I wanted to maybe drive that before all the tree's totally loose all their leaves. Hubby will take the tree down. He's really good about that part and does it every year. He will back all the boxes up and put them in storage and then bring the camping gear to the front. (we rotate - we camp in August so that's in front, then when we get back the camping stuff gets put to the back and the Christmas stuff get put in front) My schedule has been so off since Christmas that my bed time and waking time are out of wack. So last night while I was laying in bed my mind was going a mile a minute with all these things I want to get accomplished around the house, in life, crafting etc. As my mind raced I recalled the scripture in Proverbs that says "He will give us sweet sleep" - it helped and off to sleep I went. I think putting all my goals down on paper, then praying over them will be a great help. Getting them out of my mind will allow me to focus on the task at hand and be sure Im in God's will each moment. While being a Mother, Wife, Boss (at work), Daughter, DIL, Leader at Church etc, I am very busy..like all of you. I want to slow down this year. I want to say "ok Lord here is my plate, take from it what is not your doing and will and help me to walk daily in what is left. Help me to enjoy the journey as well" This past year i've learned that being and doing are two seperate things all together. I get so busy doing that I lose being who God wants me to be at that moment or in that journey. Being the wife and mother at the moment that im needed to be. Being in the Lords presence. I pray that whatever your goals for 2009 are that your first priority would be "being". Being in His presence daily. Being what the Lord created you to be. Being in His will. Blessings~ Desiree |
