July Currently




Time again for the Currently..... 

Listening to flag core camp (I am writing this on my break).  I love when they practice outside the window.  They are such talented performers and I know I could Never do what they are doing. 

Loving that the forecast says no rain!!! I wasn't going to complain about the weather anymore, but seriously it is like we live in Washington.  Rain every stinkin day!!

Thinking that there is a lot more to life than what I have been focusing on lately.  I have become a little fixated on the unimportant, the ways of the world, and other things God just has been telling me are not his ways.

Wanting to just spend some time mediating on God's word.  It sounds like that would be easy, but it seems like my life is full of just enough distractions to make this difficult.  I want to go to Church Camp like my girls all did, a week of just focusing on God's love and purposes. 

Needing to get "tuned in" more to my kids.  I do this pretty well, but I forget sometimes that when they are "growing up" their needs change on a daily basis.  Madison is going into junior high and I still think of her as a "little" instead of a young lady.  I have been really trying to be better at this but it is hard.  Lucy as well, she will be a Second Grader!!! Goodness!!!!

Tips, tricks, or hints..... My hint to everyone.....life always works out exactly how it is supposed to if you give it up to God.  We are our own worst enemies for sure.  Note to self: remember this :)

What's going on around here....

  I am joining up with The Simple Woman's Blog to bring you my weekly day book.  Link up and share yours and read the other links....          For today...February 2nd (Groundhog's Day) 6 more weeks of Winter was the prediction.   Outside my window....Snow.  We got enough to cover everything, but not the storm that was predicted.  I can handle this.  I will admit, snow is beautiful the first day before it gets slushy and dirty.       I am thinking...how nice to have the day off.  Sometimes using a vacation day to hang out around the house is worth it.   I am thankful and in gratitude for... an older daughter who is responsible and can run the house and the family well when left in charge for a few days.   I am wearing...my pajama pants and an Oklahoma Sooners hoodie, this may be what I stay in all day long :)   I am wondering....if raising teenagers will tur...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...
