Our World Right Now

 So our world right now is crazy weird to be honest.  We are still quarantined to a degree, I am still working from home.  Most things are still closed or operating under restricted guidelines.  I was finally able to see my Doctor and have an out patient surgery scheduled for later this week that will hopefully resolve some health issues I have been dealing with for a long time.  More on that another time.... 

Now, our country is dealing with riots and racial unrest.  I know that as a white woman in a small rural community I am not dealing with it like others nation wide but the effects are still far reaching.  I still feel the hurt and pain of a world that is turning on itself.  I am seeing uncertainty and fear manifesting in my own life because of what the country is experiencing and what potentially it could begin to experience as the consequences of what is currently happening.  A fallen economy, no safety, people and families in conflict with others as well as themselves.  The world for my children felt scary enough before 2020 began and now feels dangerous, uncertain, and sad.  

I am not sure how to process everything that is going on.  I often feel paralyzed and anxious to deal with the day to day.  I feel the need to hide my head in the sand but to also watch every piece of news so that I can be prepared... but prepared for what?  Each day feels as if something new and big comes out of nowhere.  

I am thankful for my faith and the foundational truth that God is in control of all and that he will work everything together for his glory.   I am thankful to have friends and family to discuss the issues of today with, regardless of the fact there are no clear answers and no one is able to say it will get better.  We just don't know right now but the world's crazy has us all  experiencing the same emotions, even if they manifest differently in all of our lives.  

Right now my prayer is for PEACE in the storm and PEACE for your storm as well.

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...

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

On the Books for January 5, 2015

Today I am joining up with The Simple Woman to give you a peek into my daybook for this week...   Outside my window.... There is a light dusting of snow.  Nothing too intimidating...yet.   I am thinking... That a salad for lunch sounds good today.  I do not usually like salad so this is a little  weird. I am thankful... That I was able to spend quality time with my people the past week and a half.  I am wearing.... Work attire :( no more sweats until whenever I have to leave the house.   I am creating... I just purchased some new yarn over the weekend.  So I am getting ready to start a new scarf and some boot cuffs.   I am going... To Walmart on lunch.  Yep, back to normal this week.  I am wondering.... How many days until the next holiday :)  I am reading.... Just my devotional this week.  I am doing Jesus Calling again this year and maybe the Women of the Bible devotional as ...
