The Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today, April 26, 2010...

Outside my window...it's hot, muggy, and dark. Storms are approaching. Menacing storms and tornado watches. A good day to stay indoors.

I am thinking...about my son who is on his way to work. May the Lord protect him.

I am thankful for...a roof over my head during stormy weather.

I am going...to stay home and clean.

I am wearing...the same navy blue polka dotted blouse and jeans I was wearing last week, but this time I'm wearing a pair of sandals I got at Walmart for $10. Very comfortable and cute!

I am remembering...my 10 yr old son's word's during Bible time last night. He said, "We're like a machine, and God is the electric socket. Jesus is the cord that connects us to the power. Without Jesus we can't get power from God." I was amazed at his understanding.

I am currently...in my son's bedroom hearing the lightning alarm in the park. Oh yeah, that storm is really close.

I am reading...Esther for morning devotions, still working through Having a Mary Spirit, and I found another Sherlock Holmes book at the library.

I am hoping...we stay safe and have no actual tornadoes or hail during the storm.

On my mind...my fitness journal.

From the learning rooms...E finished a diorama of a hurricane. It has a picture of Hurricane Katrina, a little house with a tree on the roof (weed from the front yard), some upside down Matchbox cars, and a lot of debris (dried leaves). Came out pretty well.

I am pondering these words..."You are stronger than the storm. You are reigning over all. Faithful God You’re always in control. You’re the anchor of peace for our souls." - Stronger than the Storm, by Vicky Beeching.

From the kitchen today...sloppy joes. E asked for them specifically.

Around the house...gonna be cleaning floors today, and finishing up the laundry.

One of my favorite things...is being a mom.

A few plans for the rest of the week...maybe I'll be able to get some scrapbooking in? I'd really like to get a page or two done.
