Hey, I’ve noticed that some of you are posting a link but not participating in the Homekeeper’s Journal …. come on and join me with a journal entry of your own!
Here’s What’s happening …..
In My Kitchen …. not much today. Last week I cooked a lot and this week we are enjoying leftovers.
With Our Marriage …. Growing together. After all these years, trust and understanding is getting so deep and so sweet.
With The Children ….. school and more school, will it ever end??? We’re on the home stretch though and have even finished some of their books and workbooks.
What I’m Reading … John Calvin on the Psalms, lots of school books, tons of Easter and Palm Sunday scriptures so that I can build a Palm Sunday program.
What I Have Been Learning … that satan will try to get you from every angle. When you lean on the Lord, he will even try to undermine that. Be on guard.
What I’ve Been Noticing …. that I am more fit than I previously thought
Something that pleases me … knowing that my children are walking in the Light
On The Back Burner of My Mind …. getting a room at Church ready to serve as a Sunday School classroom is harder than it figured it would be.
In The Deepest Darkest Recesses ….there are some things I am afraid of and those things seem to involve other people. I need to let go and allow God to do as He pleases without interfering. I need to spit out my fear and stop swallowing it.
Now its your turn …. click the Mcklinky link below to add the url to your Homekeeper’s Journal post
About Sylvia
In My Kitchen …. not much today. Today is bible study day. Dad takes care of dinner!
With The Children ….. Getting ready for Spring Break. This week, projects, open house and spring parties! Oh, and we have to sleep at some point, too!
What I’m Reading … Rereading I Dared to Call Him Father by Bilquis Sheikh for book club.
What I Have Been Learning … there are only so many hours in a day, so I need to set realistic goals!
What I’ve Been Noticing ….I like to read the Bible at night. If I read my scriptures in the morning, I’m a little lost at night.
Something that pleases me … just led my oldest daughter in the A-B-C prayer. A momentous occasion in our house!
On The Back Burner of My Mind …. landscaping the yard. Yanking out trees and bushes I’m really allergic to and replacing them with trees and bushes I am less allergic to!
In The Deepest Darkest Recesses ….Believing that my faith will carry me through tough times, and that when I stumble I will have help to get back up.
In My Kitchen–leftovers! I need to clean out the refrigerator and use up some things before they go to waste. Probably a tamale pie in the crockpot.
In My Marriage–Peace. I am so grateful for this precious man, who is a demonstration of Christs’s love and service to me and others.
With the Kids–only one left at home, and that one is having some trouble with accepting responsibility.
What I’m Noticing–Trying to prepare someone for adulthood when they don’t want to BE an adult is an exercise in frustration~
What I’m Learning–something I already knew, but needed reminding of: God is sovereign over His Creation and, while we are not pre-programmed “robots” there is yet not a single maveric molecule in the universe.
What I’m Reading–mostly school books and devotionals
Introspection–when things are going poorly in relationships with others, I tend to withdraw from contact and put up walls to avoid conflict. This nurtures a seed of bitterness and gives it lots of room to grow, and cuts me off from those who could encourage me as well as from fellowship with the Lord. I’ve got to put an end to this!
What Encourages Me–the sure knowledge that my heavenly Father never leaves me on my own!
I participated in the Homekeeper Journal.. It is posted on my blog. I didn’t understand about the Mr. linky though. I added a like back to the website.
Thank you, Miranda! It wasn’t working properly so I repaired it and added your Homekeeper’s Journal link.
Thanks for participating
Here’s What’s happening …..
In My Kitchen …. nothing. Only 2 for dinner tonight so my son and I went out for a big lunch.
With Our Marriage …. just celebrated 20 years!
With The Children ….. my senior is so busy. Would like to see her a little more before she goes to college(YES SHE GOT IN). Middle schooler is so much like his mother!
What I’m Reading … still to busy to read. I am searching through quilt magazines for the 4 or 5 quilts I will be making this year.
What I Have Been Learning … to lean on GOD more during the next new phase in my life.
What I’ve Been Noticing …. that the above statement is hard. The new phase is out of my control and I don’t want to do it.
Something that pleases me … the simple life
On The Back Burner of My Mind …. not wanting to go to church (my faith is not faltering) because of all the arguing there.
In The Deepest Darkest Recesses ….a long ago sin popped in my mind today. I had to ask the holy spirit to quickly take it away.
